The United States Agricultural Information Network (USAIN) is a member-focused organization that connects librarians and other information professionals working in agriculture. As such, USAIN
- provides a forum for discussion of issues in agriculture, food, natural resources and the environment, sustainability, human ecology, and rural sociology
- takes a leadership role in the formation of a national information policy as related to these areas
- makes recommendations to the National Agricultural Library (NAL) on agricultural information matters and advocates for NAL, and
- promotes cooperation and communication among its members and with other organizations and individuals.
Through committees, interest groups, and a biennial conference, USAIN members are active in professional development; preservation and digitization of current and historical publications; dissemination of and access to publicly funded research information and data; and the exchange of research results generated by our members and collaborators.
