----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Following is the annotated schedule of Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) meetings for the ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. MAGERT meetings are also listed. Please note room changes for the MARCIVE users meeting and the GODORT Awards Committee. With the exception of the Awards committee, all GODORT meetings are open and your participation is both wanted and needed. The "New Members" meeting on Saturday preceding the FDTF Agency Update is a good way to get oriented and the GODORT/MAGERT reception on Sunday evening is a way to meet people more informally.
