American Society for Information Science. Annual Meeting

Professional association which creates, organizes, disseminates, and applies knowledge regarding information and its transfer. ASIS was preceded by the American Documentation Institute (ADI), which was founded in 1937 with the goal of acquiring and indexing the knowledge of the world. In 1968, the organization's name was changed to reflect the evolution of its range of activities and the emergence of information science as an identifiable discipline.
