Belgian Association for Documentation
The Belgian Association for Documentation is a professional body for librarians, information specialists and knowledge managers in Belgium.
Created in 1947, the ABD-BVD's aims and activities converge to help those professionals in this permanent step towards the reinforcement of both their competence and the quality of their work.
It focuses its activities on:
- promoting information science related professions
- new techniques and methods in information management
- creating competence networks and allowing experience exchange
- training its members
- defending its members' interests at a European level
Since 1947, it also publishes the quarterly review Cahiers de la Documentation/Bladen voor Documentatie, with articles in French, Dutch and English.
The association includes today more than 500 professionals from the private and public sectors
