Government documents

Our first Gov Docs project built on the work of the National Overlap Study conducted in 2019 and funded by LAC (link). That study resulted in the identification of scarcely held materials and the addition of scarcity notes into local records. The first phase focused on identifying widely held titles and securing commitments from participating libraries (Title List). Nich Worby, University Of Toronto is the current Chair of the Working Group which seeks to expand its activities to serials.
