The Association of Agricultural Librarians and Documentalists of India (AALDI) was founded in 1971 with an aim to bring Agricultural Librarians of the country on a platform to join hands to address matters of professional interests in improving library system and services towards the agricultural user community. The Association held its General Body meeting at Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalapur in June 1973 and decided to publish a periodical entitled “AALDI Bulletin” annually to give vent to the intellectual thought of the Agricultural Library Professionals. The efforts of the Association bore fruits in 1974 when the first volume of the periodical saw the light of the day. To keep pace with the changing scenario and concept of agricultural librarianship, the title of the periodical was changed to “Indian Journal of Agricultural Library and Information Services” in 2008. It is important to note that the journal has been approved by the UGC vide UGC Journal Identification No. 64538. Due to some reason or other the Association became dormant and slowly passed into hibernation after 1993. It was revived during a workshop on “Krishiprabha” Indian Agricultural Dissertation Repository held at CCS HAU, Hissar in 2008.
