About APLIC
APLIC was formed in 1968 with a grant from the Population Council, under the auspices of the Carolina Population Center. Fifteen population and reproductive health information specialists, librarians, and documentalists met to identify common aims and challenges, promote cooperation, and develop shared systems and tools. For over four decades, APLIC has served as a valuable network for ideas and materials exchange.
