ASLI in 2021: Strengthening engagement with communities through our science and service

 

The 24th Atmospheric Science Librarians International Conference will be held January 14th, 2021 as part of the 101st  American Meteorological Society Meeting, to be held 10 to 14 January, 2021.

 

The theme for the 101st AMS Annual Meeting is "Strengthening engagement with communities through our science and service.”

 

With this theme, the AMS has four goals: improve actions/decisions with respect to our environment and keeping people safe; help us shape our science to be actionable and improve our services; improve understanding of the value of our science and build support for funding; and help us improve our research focus and its applicability to societal needs. As librarians and information professionals, the members of the Atmospheric Science Librarians International engage with and serve scientists, students, governmental agencies and NGOs, providing quality resources for research and learning. We support our communities of users as they create and disseminate knowledge that is the foundation for actions and decisions. This knowledge is used by individuals and organizations to steward our world’s human/environmental interface and enable everyone’s security in the face of natural disasters. We are an important component in the access to quality information in all formats.

  • ASLI in 2021: Strengthening engagement with communities through our science and service;
  • FAIR and Open Data within the Atmospheric Sciences.

Joint Sessions

ASLI will again co-sponsor a Joint Session with the AMS Board (EIPT ) on Data Stewardship. Papers that describe innovative technological advances, curation and preservation of data, and solutions that help us understand and serve data needs in the field are most welcome.

  • Meeting Data Stewardships Needs for Heterogeneous Earth and Atmospheric Science Data (Joint between the 37th Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies and the 24th Conference of Atmospheric Science Librarians International).
