It’s always great to receive a pat on the back – even better when the “patter” is held in high esteem — and better yet when you can share it….We rec’d this note today from the Free Government Information, i.e. the federal government document librarians .
In the spirit of openness, we’re sharing….We Salute MnCOGI by dcornwall
…About the only quibble we have with MnCOGI is that we believe that collection, maintenance and preservation of information are responsibilities too important to be left to each government office. They must be
assisted in those tasks by third parties with fewer axes to grind, like
libraries. But this is a minor quibble given the level of involvement by
libraries in MnCOGI.One last thing we appreciate about MnCOGI is that they have signed up
nonlibrarian organizations like the MN Newspapers Association to their efforts.
Congratulations on that. Keep up your important work!
Thank you FGI – we appreciate your plaudits and take seriously your quibble.
