Hi all, I hope that this finds you well! I wanted to let you know that we're about to host some open, online focus groups to get feedback on the
needed functionality for the Government Documents Registry. (We've come up with various use cases, but are interested in seeing whether or not we're on the right track.) Given your previous interest in/involvement with the project, I wanted to make sure you
knew! The full announcement is below; I'd appreciate it if you could forward to folks who may be interested. And please let me know if you have
any questions! Thanks! valerie ------------------------------- HathiTrust has embarked on a project to create a metadata registry for the comprehensive corpus of US federal government documents produced
