Notable Government Documents in Library Journal
"Each year the Notable Documents Panel of the Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) selects about 40 titles issued by intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and governments at all levels (foreign national, and U.S. federal, state, and local). Works in all formats are fair game, as are items published for IGOs and governments by private publishers. What’s the point of all this? To raise the profile of government information."
Take a look at a discussion of some of last year's notable documents here.
