Librarians & information professionals provide the crucial link between information and the communities we serve as well as a vital role in acquisition, organization, dissemination, and preservation of information, particularly government information. Your participation in Government Information Day is a great way to share your online services and promote public access to government information via Indiana’s libraries and local data centers. This is a unique opportunity to share ideas and network with professionals that serve Hoosiers in hundreds of communities throughout the state.

Government Information Day is a FREE, day-long conference featuring many of the state's and nation's leading information professionals. The conference will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, and concurrent break-out sessions. Notable presenters include: Mary Alice Baish, Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Tony Fargo, IBJ Columnist, Associate Professor of Journalism & Director of the Center for International Media Law and Policy Studies, Indiana University; Stephen Laue, Information Services Specialist, Chicago Region, US Census Bureau; and Connie Lawson, Indiana Secretary of State.
