Welcome to the Government Documents Round Table of Ohio!

Allow Us to Introduce Ourselves!

Founded in 1981, the Government Documents Round Table of Ohio (Ohio GODORT) has worked tirelessly to promote the use of government documents from all levels of government as well as to advocate the free public access to this information. By following the links to the left, you will be able to learn more about our organization and understand why we believe in "Documents to the People!"

The "Clyde" Award

Ohio GODORT's Award for Service and Achievement, affectionately known as the "Clyde" Award, has honored a number of outstanding Ohio documents librarians over the years. You can find a description of the award and a list of honorees on our new "Clyde" Award page. If possible, we hope to make available digitized copies of the statements or certificates honoring these recipients; if you have any of these that you would like to contribute to our archives and to the web site, please contact your friendly webmaster!
