> Ideally the panel likes to choose from approximately 40 documents (in any
> format) in each of the three categories of federal, state & local, &
> international.  Currently we have between 12 - 15 nominations so we really
> welcome your contributions.
>
> There is time between now and December 31, 2003 to nominate publications
> from any level of government-state and local, federal, international,
> intergovernmental organization, foreign government or material published
> on behalf of a governmental agency by a commercial publisher---for an
> award.  Please only consider materials published in 2002 and 2003 but
> these can be in any format---websites, CD-'s, books, maps, audio-visuals,
> or microfiche.  Agencies and publishers are encouraged to nominate their
> best titles.

> A short history of the program is available at:

>
> Each year the panel selects 30 notable documents from the list of
> nominations.  These are then featured in the May 15, 2003 issue of Library
> Journal.  Our purpose is to publicize government documents to the broader
> library community, to honor the agencies and staff responsible for these
> wonderful documents, to create a selection tool available to all types of
> libraries, and to publicize the work of GODORT.  The production and
> distribution of government information widely and in a timely manner
> remains of critical importance to us all.
>
> Please contact the Panel Chair, Linda Johnson, if you need additional
> information or have questions.  Thank you in advance for your
> participation in this important program.
