American Society for Information Science and Technology
http://www.asis.org/

"ASIS has been the society for information professionals leading the search for new theories, techniques, and technologies to improve access to information since 1937. So we thought it appropriate to use this web to reflect that pioneering nature. ASIS's site won't just provide information about ASIS and its activities, although we certainly think that's an important function of the site. It will also be used to experiment with new ways of disseminating valuable information to professionals and scientists in the field and new ways for members of the information science community to interact." This site provides links to information regarding membership, conferences, publications, education, interest groups and policies. You can also search the site.
