GODORT Update, Midwinter 2010
Saturday, January 16, 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, Room 162 A/B

Agenda

The GODORT web pages contain some exceptional tools for accessing international, federal, and state government resources. We’ve gathered together a panel of web managers from GODORT committees and task forces to highlight some of these important web-based reference resources and how to use them to access government information. Additional discussion will include tips on how to use the GODORT wiki and ALA Connect to keep abreast of ALA GODORT activities.
