GODORT Steering Committee agenda

I won't be at ALA in Washington, D.C., but anyone who's going, have a good time. And do attend a GODORT program or two. GODORT stands for GO DO Really Terrific things with government documents (no it doesn't; it's actually GOvernment DOcuments Round Table -- but I like my acronym better).
