Notable Government Document 2007 awards
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) was recently honored with two Notable Government Document 2007 awards from the American Library Association’s Government Documents Round Table (GODORT). The ODNR Office of Coastal Management publication, Ohio Coastal Atlas, and the Division of Wildlife publication 320, Common Dragonflies and Damselflies of Ohio: Field Guide both received their awards within the State/Local category.
The purpose of Notable Documents is to recognize excellence in government publications and identify documents of distinction. Notable Documents are divided into three categories: international, federal, and state/local. Documents in both electronic and paper formats are nominated by libraries and agencies throughout the country. The State Library of Ohio nominated Ohio Coastal Atlas and Common Dragonflies and Damselflies of Ohio: Field Guide. The publications will be on display at the State Library of Ohio throughout the summer.
