In Celebration of Government Information Day, Meet a Few GovDoc Librarians
Today, the University of Ottawa is organizing Government Information Day to examine the many challenges of organizing, digitizing and preserving often finicky government documents.
We all use them every day: rules and regulations, Hansards, parliamentary committee reports, government agency documents, court records, official stats, public sector scientific and technical reports, etc.
Anyone who has ever had to track down an old order-in-council or find a controversial pollution report by government scientists will appreciate how hard it can be.
For the past little while, the CLA Government Library and Information Management Professionals Network, part of the Canadian Library Association (CLA), has been publishing 13 Questions With…, a series on its website that profiles a member of the Canadian library and IM community every week.
In celebration of Government Information Day, the Network has presented three profiles this week of people from the field of government documents librarianship:
- 13 Questions With… Catherine McGoveran (Government Information Librarian, University of Ottawa)
- 13 Questions With… Michelle Lake (Government Publications Librarian, Concordia University Libraries)
- 13 Questions With… Amanda Wakaruk (Government Information Librarian, University of Alberta Libraries)
