Keith’s note: A lawsuit was filed on 19 February in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia concerning the closure of the NASA Goddard library and the disposition of records and research materials housed there. The plaintiffs, including the Goddard Engineers, Scientists and Technicians Association (GESTA), filed the case to seek judicial review of NASA’s decision to close the library and disperse or dispose of portions of its collections. The complaint alleges that the agency’s actions violate federal records preservation requirements and were undertaken without the transparency and review required under federal law. Full complaint below.
