The fight to keep government information in the public domain continues on other fronts. The House Judiciary Committee approved H.R. 354, which would hamper legitimate uses of factual information and databases. These bills will both be addressed in the full House early this fall. If you believe that government information should stay in the public domain, call your Representative now to express your views. With the assistance of a grant from ACRL, the ALAO Legislative Team is putting together a mini-legislative day in April 2000.
Plans are underway for an issues-briefing session followed by visits to state legislators.
Expressing thanks for OhioLINK is on the agenda for those visits, along with discussion of other topics to be determined closer to April. If you value freedom of information, now's the time to join us in telling our stories to those who make policy in our state and country.
