Govdocs can go so hard

Feeling like I taught govdocs in the wrong semester.

@midendian As you probably suspect, everything I've found so far says the physical copies were deaccessioned when the electronic copies became open-access (govdocs tend to be a black hole.) Your best bet is going to be small nerd libraries -- most often in museums, where they never get rid of […]

Argument here is that you also need to account for things like higher interest rates, i.e. your mortgage, car loans, etc. cost more to get.

Dear #opengov folks: #govdocs aren't as sexy as #bigdata, but play huge role in #govtrans. Pls say no to Coburn Amd.: <a href="http://bit.ly/cPtaok" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://bit.ly/cPtaok

Couldn’t take it. Had to rant on the GovTrack Mastodon account abt how sloppy reporters (& Congress members even!) have been with their language re Biden Border stuff. It’s a Proclamation, not an Executive Order & the impt bits are all in a DHS regulation! (always a govdocs librarian apparently)

Not a great time to be a Gov Docs librarian. How am I supposed to show students how to find regulatory information when it keeps disappearing? #govdocs #librarian

Of possible interest, especially for #WomensHistoryMonth, the United Nations iLibrary has a selection of books and documents on #GenderEquality. UN resources can be read free online on their website.

I just deployed GovDocs — a web application that uses AI to make South African government documents more searchable, accessible, and understandable. For the best experience, please use a laptop or desktop, as the mobile version currently has limited functionality.

If stuff like freedom of information and keeping the #USGovernment accountable are important to you, maybe you need to pay attention to this.

The Trump Administration is quietly closing the window for public comment
"I think skipping the notice-and-comment process is a concern for any administration." said Janice Luong.

Among concerns abt the health of democracy, access to #govdocs fr #VastEarlyAmerica to right now is crucial. Two years ago in the midst of #impeachment I wrote for @madebyhistory abt the singular importance & labor of archival retention. 1/...

Now I can add Mom to the small list of folks I imagine looking over my shoulder commenting as I write. This is helpful bc she def brings a diff perspective from employee at [redacted], at least one govdocs libn and Josh (site founder, boss).
