With the ongoing proliferation of techniques and technologies that emerge in the fields of library and information science, communications, networking and computer science, there is a need for one organization that can bring all of these fields and practitioners together.

Formed in 1937, ASIS&T brings together everyone involved in Information Science and information research, from technical specialists, to librarians, from researchers, to business professionals - all fields that need, use, or investigate information fall under the ASIS&T umbrella.
