| I also went to lunch one day with a group of librarians interested in state government information and found that a lot of people are in worse shape than Texas as far as distribution and organization of state docs is concerned (and some are in better shape!). One of them, Lori Smith, has edited a book on state information sources (our friend Daniel Cornwall in Alaska covered the Pacific Northwest for her). It will be published soon by Oryx Press. She also sent us information on a state documents discussion list. I plan to subscribe to it. If any of you are interested, I can forward your her message. |
I have handouts from the following sessions that I did not attend. If you are interested in seeing any of these, let me know and I'll either make you a copy or send you the information for downloading a copy:
