Welcome to ASLIB


About ASLIB

ASLIB is a membership association for people who manage information and knowledge in organizations, who are not necessarily librarians.

It was originally established as the Association for Special Libraries and Information Bureaux in London, in September 1924. Our original ethos, which still applies today, was "to serve those engaged in the collection, treatment and dissemination of information in many departments of human activity".

In April 2010 ASLIB was acquired by MCB Group, the holding company for Emerald Group Publishing Limited. The acquisition means that ASLIB's services to members will continue and grow in line with member and community feedback.

Services

ASLIB provides training, advice and networking for members, with a key focus on data protection, intellectual property and information governance issues.

ASLIB members receive the Managing Information magazine 10 times a year, plus a choice of other professional and scholarly publications dealing with information management and wider business and management issues.
