The ACRL Executive Committee at its June 2023 Annual Conference Meeting, approved the transition of the ACRL AAMES IG to AAMES DG. The Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Studies Interest Group was established by the ACRL Board of Directors at the 2017 Spring Executive Board Meeting. Prior to this, the AAMES IG was the Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Studies Section (AAMES).
