EDITOR'S SUMMARY

Nadia Caidi, 2016 ASIS&T president, reported on attending conferences of the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP), the American Library Association (ALA) and ALISE (Association for Library and Information Science Education), highlighting the groups' intersecting interests and overlapping challenges. Information issues were present across much of the CSSP conference, including a focus on human behavior and interaction, adapting to changes in scholarly publishing and maintaining data integrity and security. The Midwinter Meeting of ALA, of which ASIS&T is an affiliate, included developments in library and information services and demonstrated the strong ties between the organizations and our goals. At the ALISE meeting training and accreditation were focal points; ASIS&T will participate in ongoing discussions on the topic. Planning for the ASIS&T 2016 Annual Meeting in Copenhagen continues, certain to deliver a stimulating mix of views on the fields of library and information science and technology.
