Academic business Library DIRECTORS 

ABLD is a working group of library professionals representing the top business schools in the United States and Canada. The organization fosters collaboration, networks globally, and shares best practices. We work to stay ahead of the curve in the academic business field and to share our deep knowledge and experience with the premier institutions to which our members belong.

Our members are academic business library directors, library leaders, business subject librarians, and other librarians who have substantial leadership, management, or budgetary responsibilities for business library collections, staffing, operations, or resources that support business-school research and curriculum.

Annual meetings are held at a member's institution each spring. Similar to a conference, meetings provides an opportunity for members to present papers, serve on panel discussions, share best practices, and meet with vendors.
