ALA Government Documents Round Table Looks for "Notable Documents"

GODORT, the Government Documents Roundtable of the American Library Association, is asking people to to nominate federal, state, local, or international (that would include Canadian) titles that represent the very best in government publication and information dissemination.

The nomination period for this annual contest ends Dec. 31, 2005. The documents that are chosen will be featured in the annual "Notable Documents" Library Journal article that will be distributed at the ALA Annual Conference in June of next year. The first Notable Documents List appeared in RQ in the 1984. Since 1986, it has been published in the May 15 issue of Library Journal.

Here are last year's best govdocs.

2 Canadian resources made the list:

• Canadian Genealogy Centre (Library and Archives Canada, 2004)
• Learning from SARS: Renewal of Public Health in Canada; A Report of the National Advisory Committee on SARS and Public Health (Health Canada, 2003)
