Abstract
The Information Management Working Group of the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) is an important European forum for reflection, discussion and action on development information. Its members comprise librarians, information managers, documentalists and other professionals working with development information. Since the mid-1970s, it has held annual meetings to discuss important issues in this field, to network, and to engage in joint projects and other activities. It is one of the constituent working groups of EADI, an independent, European-wide, NGO concerned with development research and training. This article reviews the nature of the Information Management Working Group to serve as a background document for newcomers to the group and for existing members. After describing the members, annual meetings, themes and projects, the parent association, EADI, is briefly examined, together with the status of the Information Management Working Group within it. Finally, other networks focusing on development information are briefly listed.
