[PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR OTHER GOVERNMENT INFORMATION COMMUNITIES!]



With a nod to “GovInfo Day (B.C.)”, which occurs every spring, the Ontario Council of University Libraries - Government Information Community (OCUL-GIC) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting this year’s virtual fall/winter “Government Information Day(s), 2023”, sometime during Tuesday to Thursday, December 12th, 13th & 14th. (Finalized dates will be contingent on the number of proposals that come forward, but scheduling will be friendly to all Canadian time zones.)



We are now sending out a call for presentation proposals (LINK BELOW) and/or suggestions for speakers, from anyone interested in government information.  Please consider sharing 10 to 90 minutes of your time and knowledge about government information, on any topic therewithin, from any jurisdiction, Canadian or international!  We are looking for lightning talks, presentations, panel discussions &/or any other ideas such as workshops, training sessions or interpretative dance. :*)

Know someone who knows something about government information? (Librarian, archivist, journalist, public servant, scholar, your mother??) Suggest them, too!!

A virtual conference is the perfect opportunity to engage with government information colleagues across the country and further afield.  Let’s learn what librarians, archivists, journalists and scholars are working on (or are concerned about), and let's celebrate our achievements.
