Library Center of Excellence for Middle Eastern and Arab Cultures Established
The Library Center of Excellence for Middle Eastern and Arab Cultures was recently created to serve as the focal point for AUC’s wide range of resources and primary documents related to Arab culture, and to promote academic inquiry about the region. “The center has a unique position because our existing collections in the AUC Library include a blend of English and Arabic works, reflecting the way the university combines Western and Egyptian elements,” explained Lamia Eid, the center’s founding director.
