The Aslib Biosciences
Group promotes the exchange of information in the fields
of biology, agriculture, medicine and the environment. Group
members - librarians, information scientists, researchers
and others - represent organisations within academia, government,
research, commerce and industry. Group membership therefore
offers a network of relevant experience of information management
across this field.
The Biosciences
Group works actively with other similar specialised groups
in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It is the focal point
in the UK for the International Association of Agricultural
Information Specialists (IAALD) and a Corresponding member
of HeLicon (Health Libraries and Information Confederation).
