SEDIC Launches AIDOC: A New Distribution List for Information on Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Document Management

Since its inception, the Spanish Society for Scientific Documentation and Information (SEDIC) has always been a benchmark supporting professionals who have had to face various technological and regulatory advances throughout their careers.

Artificial intelligence and data science represent a new challenge that SEDIC considers of vital importance for the future of the sector. Therefore, we work to create spaces for study and reflection such as the Interest Group “Data Science in Libraries and Archives. Training and Communities,” specialized courses such as the course “Artificial Intelligence and Research: Practical Proposals and Challenges,” and other types of spaces, conferences, and events with the aim that information specialists can deepen their knowledge in these fields of great impact for the future of the profession.

In a new line of work aimed at sharing specialized and quality information, we present AIDOC, a new distribution list on Artificial Intelligence in the field of document management.

What is AIDOC?

AIDOC is a distribution list created on the initiative of the association and with the collaboration of the Interest Group “Data Science in Libraries and Archives. Training and Communities,” with the aim of promoting the dissemination and exchange of knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), mainly applied to document management. It is established as a tool for the dissemination of news, research, and technological advances related to AI and data science in the information/documentation sector.

Objectives of AIDOC

• Dissemination of related news: Publish and share relevant news about artificial intelligence and data science, especially focused on their application in document management, archiving, museology, and librarianship.
• Promotion of events and activities: Inform members about events and conferences related to AI and data science organized by both SEDIC and other entities.
• Dissemination of information from SEDIC and the Interest Group “Data Science in Libraries and Archives. Training and Communities”: Keep members informed about the activities, initiatives, and projects developed by the association.

How to participate in AIDOC

This distribution list is open to the participation of the professional community, provided that the established regulations are met.
