Our Commitment to Libraries

As a society publisher ASM Journals work to not only support both the science and the researcher,
but also desires to support the institutions that champion microbiology. For 2023 ASM is embarking
on a new initiative to collaborate with librarians to provide best in-class service. We will start by
collecting feedback via the below survey which also requests volunteers that will be later added to
an ongoing focus group that will work to shape how ASM partners with our institutional partners.
