Our Mission

The mission of the Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) is to 1) provide a forum for discussion of problems, concerns, and for exchange of ideas by librarians working with government document; 2) provide a force for initiating and supporting programs to increase availability, use, and bibliographic control of documents; 3) increase communication between documents librarians and other librarians; (4) to contribute to the extension and improvement of education and training of documents librarians.

Agendas, meeting minutes, and conference schedules.

These free resources were created or sponsored by GODORT to help enhance access to government information in all formats.
