The Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) promotes innovation and excellence in research, teaching, and service for educators and scholars in Library and Information Science and cognate disciplines internationally through leadership, collaboration, advocacy, and dissemination of research. [2]
ALISE is the successor organization to the Association of American Library Schools (AALS) which was founded in 1915. AALS replaced the American Library Association (ALA) Roundtable of Library School Instructors (1911-1915), but was not affiliated with the American Library Association until 1953.[3] Organizationally, AALS and ALA had many connections, especially in the first 30 years of AALS’s existence.[4] Donald G. Davis traced the efforts within ALA for the improvement of library education.[5]
