Since 1937, the American Society for Information Science and
Technology (ASIS&T) has been the society for information professionals
leading the search for new and better theories, techniques, and
technologies to improve access to information. ASIS&T counts among its
membership some 4,000 information specialists from such fields as
computer science, linguistics, management, librarianship, engineering,
law, medicine, chemistry, and education; individuals who share a
common interest in improving the ways society stores, retrieves,
analyzes, manages, archives and disseminates information, coming
together for mutual benefit.
Purpose
The Society seeks to stimulate participation and interaction among its
members by affording them an environment for substantive professional
exchange. It encourages and supports personal and professional growth
through opportunities for members to extend their knowledge and
skills, develop and use professional networks, pursue career
development goals and assume leadership roles in the Society and in
the information community. ASIS&T increases the influence of
information professionals among decision-makers by focusing attention
on the importance of information as a vital resource in a
high-technology age and promotes informed policy on national and
international information issues by contributing to the formation of
those policies. It supports the advancement of the state-of-the art
and practice by taking a leadership position in the advocacy of
