Delaware Valley Chapter
American Society for Information Science

ASIS, the American Society for Information Science, is a nonprofit professional association organized for scientific, literary and educational purposes and dedicated to the creation, organization, dissemination and application of knowledge concerning information and its transfer.

The Delaware Valley Chapter (DVC) encompasses the geographic region of Southeastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley, southern New Jersey and Delaware. As one of the original ASIS chapters, the Delaware Valley Chapter has always recognized the emergence of new areas of information and has been instrumental in their promotion, contributing to the reputation of the Philadelphia area as an information center. Through a wide range of programs and services, the chapter continues that tradition providing an active exchange for information professionals.

The DVC sponsors the Drexel University Student Chapter and jointly supports an annual Drexel Excellence in Writing Award for work by a student enrolled in the College of Information Science & Technology.
