Closing
The IODE Committee (at IODE-XXV (February 2019)) proposed to IAMSLIC that this Group should be CLOSED. The IODE Committee urged marine libraries to register as IODE Associate Information Units to ensure their input into the work of IODE through projects, activities and capacity development.
Establishment
The Joint IAMSLIC/IODE Group of Experts on Marine Information Management (IAMSLIC/IODE GE-MIM) in a transitional capacity was establised by IODE-XXIV through Recommendation IODE-XXIV.1. The Group was established to fill the gap between the current IODE structure that does not include marine libraries but only IODE national coordinators for marine information management, and a new structure that will include IODE Associate Information Units (AIUs) that will then create a new IODE network of marine libraries, and will also allow IODE-XXV how to best address the needs of this new community.
This group replaces the previous Joint IAMSLIC/IODE Group of Experts on Marine Information Management (IAMSLIC/IODE GE-MIM)
