ABOUT
ASLIB:
Aslib, The Association
for Information Management, was established in 1924. Its
members are private and public sector companies and organisations
throughout the world, concerned with managing information
resources efficiently. Aslib has 3 branches and 14 Special
Interest Groups, covering some 60 SIC areas. Our expertise
is in helping and advising organisations, from SME's to
large corporations and governments, on any of their issues
and problems, information management great and small.
The key roles
of our organisation are:
- to stimulate
awareness of the benefits of good management of information
resources and its value
- to represent
and lobby for the interests of the information sector
on matters which are of national and international importance
varying from copyright and data protection to the role
of scientibic journals.
- to provide
a range of information related products and services to
meet the needs of the information society
To fulfill these
roles we have developed four main functions within the Association.
They are consultancy, publications, training and recruitment.
Our consultancy
activities drawn principally from our network of leading
information professionals range from giving answers to specific
questions for individuals or small companies, to major studies
for the British Government, and recommending policies and
strategies to the People's Republic of China.
Managing Information,
the association's colour magazine, is the magazine for everyone
who uses information. It combines the successful print magazine
with a web-based news service, doubling the impact of the
publication. The magazine continues to develop its winning
combination of high-calibre features, top-level interviews,
analysis and practical solutions all packaged in a readable
and attractive style. The news service, available at http://www.managinginformation.com,
harnesses internet technologies to provide up-to-the minute
news updated every weekday. It also offers chat, forum,
