history

The association goes back to a cooperation agreement between the library associations of the Federal Republic of Germany in Marburg ("Marburg Conference"). Until the German Society for Information Science and Information Practice joined in 2004, the association was called the Federal Association of German Library Associations . In 2012 the DGI left the association again, and in 2013 the Bertelsmann Foundation left the association.
