President's Greeting

Welcome to USAIN – the United States Agricultural Information Network!  We are a dynamic group of professional information specialists working in the discipline of agriculture.  Our online community and biennial conferences offer members an opportunity to network with colleagues and share knowledge and best practices in the discovery, delivery and management of agricultural information.  As an organization we are an advocate for public policy supporting the creation, dissemination, and preservation of information critical to food, agriculture and natural resources.  We welcome new members from across the U.S., as well as Canada and Latin America!

Members in the organization communicate via the USAIN listerv  http://www.usain.org/listserv.html and all are welcome to join.  Our next biennial conference will be April 29-May 2, 2012 at the University of Minnesota.  More information about the conference and a call for program proposals will go out in Fall 2011.  The USAIN website offers more information about the organization, but please feel free to contact me if you are interested in finding out more about USAIN. 

Mary Ochs,

President, 2011-12
