   As a gov docs librarian, I knew much of the information--and in a case or two, I knew more about the status of something, such as digitization which is being done with the assistance of digital partners. There is also a new classification of depositories called Centers of Excellence which are selectives who also try to cover a specific topic comprehensively.\n\nExcellent introduction to an often overlooked resource. Thanks to BCG for making this available.\n\nExcellent overview especially for Canadian genealogists.\n\nExcellent presentation with lots of new information presented\n\nExcellent thank you very much \n\nExtremely well organized and informative\n\nGives me a lot more to think about--and how to go about looking for the info. Just shows how great Genealogy is--journey has nothing to do with the destination!\n\nGood intro\n\nGood overview. I took govdocs in library school but that was years ago. \n\nGood webinar on government Documents. \n\nGreat info and examples. Thanks for the references.\n\nGreat information about a little-used resource. I love learning about new sources.\n\nGreat introduction to a previously unknown record group. Thank you.\n\nGreat overview of holdings of government docs\n\nGreat!\n\nGreat! Very interesting and informative! Thanks :)
