Welcome to the 1st Intern Mr. Atef Al-Jundi

Hi All,

I would like to welcome Mr. Atef Al-Jundi, Head of Serials Division at the 
Jordan University Library of Amman, Jordan to the OACIS project, the Near 
East Collection and the Yale University Library. Mr. Al-Jundi, will be 
serving as an OACIS intern in the Near East Collection and Electronic 
Collections for three months. Mr. Al-Jundi graduated from University of 
Jordan in 1981 with a B.A in Arabic Literature and received a Higher 
Diploma in Library Science and Information Technology in 1988.

He began his internship on May 3, 2004 and will be working with us at Yale 
Library to improve the vernacular content of our Near East Serials records, 
and assisting us to improve the interface of our OACIS for the Middle East 
on-line union list project.  In addition, he will be working with us to 
include the serial records from the University of Jordan in OACIS and to 
work out all the issues with our manual data entry forms.  He is also 
looking forward to learning many things about the different approaches to 
serials librarianship hear in the United States. He will be visiting many 
of the departments and the technical services units of the library as well 
as some of the public service units.

Dear Lutz,

Nice to hear from you. Hope to participate with the Middle East group next 
year. Our visit to the ME went extremely well. We have commitment from 
several libraries in Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. to participate in OACIS. We 
will talk more when we meet in August. Take care. Simon.

CRL Focus Middle East newsletter

RE: Current status of journals

Dear John,

al-Ra'y al-akhar used to be a gift to SOAS Library. From our holdings
statement  "Yr.1(6) 1996 -n.66 (2002)" it appears to have dried up.

I am ashamed to say the other two are unknown to me.  In theory the BM
should get them as legal deposit.

Peter
