[PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR OTHER GOVERNMENT INFORMATION &/OR ARCHIVAL 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.
