Federal Documents Task Force (FDTF) of the Government Documents Round Table provides a forum for discussion of problems and concerns, and establishes and maintains open links of communication between documents librarians and others involved in the life cycle of Federal government information. FDTF goals are to initiate, design and support programs that will increase the availability and use of Federal publications and government information; improve the bibliographic control of Federal publications and technical reports in all formats; improve the management of documents collections; improve the education and training of documents librarians; and increase communication between documents librarians and other librarians.

Due to dissatisfaction among GODORT web managers with the American Library Association's content management system, GODORT membership has given approval for new content for the FDTF to appear on the wiki and 'not' on the "main" FDTF website.

What is FDTF?

The Federal Documents Task Force (FDTF) initiates, designs and supports programs that will increase the availability and use of Federal publications and government information. We improve the bibliographic control of Federal publications and technical reports in all formats as well as the management of documents collections. FDTF implements programs to improve the education and training of documents librarians. We increase communication by working with the Government Printing Office (GPO), documents librarians and other librarians. To learn more, please see Chapter 9 of the GODORT Policies and Procedures Manual.

This committee consists of a Coordinator, Assistant Coordinator/Coordinator-Elect, and Secretary. These are elected positions and are one year terms that begin at ALA mid-winter.

The Coordinator appoints liaisons between the Task Force and various GODORT Committees. This person also plans the GODORT Update that takes place at all conferences and meetings. The Assistant Coordinator/Coordinator- Elect assists the Coordinator in the implementation of the work of FDTF. The Secretary is responsible for recording the minutes at ALA mid-winter and annual. After the meetings are held, a brief synopsis of the meeting is typed and distributed to the Steering Committee. The minutes are sent to the Coordinator to be reviewed, and then placed on the FDTF web page. The Web Manager is a voluntary position filled by the Coordinator, Assistant Coordinator/Coordinator- Elect or Secretary.

Representatives from the following committees make up the FDTF Appointments to the Standing Committee: Cataloging, Education, Government Info., Technology (GITCO), Legislation (3 liaisons), Program and Rare and Endangered Gov't Publications. The Standing Committee reports to FDTF during ALA mid-winter and annual meetings. These positions are appointed by the Coordinator.
