Last fall at a statewide government librarian's meeting at Thomas Cooper Library, I expressed an interest in the SCLA Government Documents Round Table (GODORT). I am now the chair of GODORT, it is funny how that worked out. I invite all government librarians to contribute to this blog and share news and events which may be of interest to members of GODORT.
As someone who is new to both government documents and South Carolina, I need the support and involvement of other government librarians in South Carolina. My goals for this group for the remainder of the year are modest. First, I would like to hear from other government librarians who are interested in becoming involved in GODORT, either as a member or as an officer. Secondly I would like to schedule a meeting for later in the summer to develop plans for the future of SC GODORT and decide if we would like to participate as a group in the SCLA conference in October. This is a very challenging time for government librarians, technology and the political climate is playing a major role in our ability to provide service and materials to our users. It is very important that we keep aware of the issues facing government information in this dynamic environment. If you are interested in becoming involved please contact me at kathyk@usca.edu or 803-641-3320. I look forward to hearing from you.
