Members are also based in Ohio. The Group is co-sponsored by Kansas Library Association Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT).
What: To promote government information in order to engage K-12 students in learning about history, culture, science, and government through games and other interactive activities; to assist teachers and school librarians with locating teaching aids, lesson plans, and exciting tools to enhance students' learning, and to provide librarians with a collection of free government resources to advance their reference interview and collection development decisions.
