+# academicons
+
+The *academicons* package provides access in (La)TeX to 76 high quality icons
+of online academic profiles included in the free *Academicons* font. This
+package requires either the Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX engine to load the
+*Academicons* font from the system, which requires installing the bundled
+*academicons.ttf* font file. As new releases come out, it is recommended to
+install the bundled font version as there may be differences between the package
+and previous font versions or newest font versions not yet contemplated in the
+package.
+
+The *Academicons* font was designed by James Walsh and released (see
+<http://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/>) under the open SIL Open Font License
+(available at <http://scripts.sil.org/OFL>). This package is a redistribution of
+the free *Academicons* font with specific bindings for (La)TeX. It is inspired
+and based on the *fontawesome* package (available at
+<http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome>).
+
+The academicons package provides the generic `\aiicon` command to access icons,
+which takes as mandatory argument the name of the desired icon. It also
+provides individual direct commands for each specific icon. The full list of
+icons and their respective names and direct commands can be found in the
+manual. For example, `\aiicon{googlescholar}` yields the same result as
+`\aiGoogleScholar`.
