It is not too late!! Please help the GODORT Notable Document Panel in
acknowledging exceptional government information through the annual article
in Library Journal.

Through December 31, 2003, you can nominate publications, in any format,
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.

The nomination form is available at:
http://www.library.ucsb.edu/forms/godort-form.html

A short history of the program is available at:
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/GODORT/notdoc.html

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.
