Rosamond Tryon Jacob (left in photo, with Duncan Aldrich) is the Government Publications Librarian at the St. Paul Public Library. She has been very active in Minnesota's GODORT. In addition, she founded the state newsletter, Docsoup; instituted the annual State Document of the Year Award, and started Metrodocs Plus, an information organization of metro documents librarians and was instrumental in the formation of the Twin Cities Researchers' Group which represents 40 private and public metro agencies. In 1989 she organized the first GODORT exhibit to publicize Federal and state documents at the Minnesota Library Association and in 1990 she received a Distinguished Achievement Award from the Minnesota Library Association. Rosamond Jacob was ahead of most in making electronic depository information available to the public and has served as a mentor in this area to all documents librarians in Minnesota. by Jan Swanbeck, published in DttP, v.22, no.2 (June 1994)
