Government Information Day (East) 2019
Thursday, November 28, 2019
Toronto, Ontario.

SLA Toronto and the Toronto Reference Library are very pleased to announce that they will be the hosts for the Government Information Day (East) 2019 on Thursday, November 28, 2019, Toronto, Ontario.

The event is to occur in the Beeton Hall, Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario.

As with the previous Government Information Days in Ontario, GID 2019 aims to provide an opportunity for those in libraries, archives, and academic and government institutions, to share information, interests and concerns in the field of government information.

The coordinating team, is now seeking ideas or proposals for presentation topics and/or speakers, within any of the following broad “government information” themes:

• preservation & access (can include either print collections or born-digital information)
• digitization & web harvesting
• open data & open government
• privacy & freedom of information

Is there something you would like to share or do you know of a fabulous speaker, who you think we should contact?

If you have an idea for a presentation or a speaker – (or if you would like to be both!) – please submit your information here by Thursday, October 31, 2019. Depending on the response, we may ask that a speaker increase the time of their presentation, or, of course, decrease it.

More information will follow soon, on how to register for Government Information Day (East) 2019.

We hope to see you there!
