Mary St. Germain, international studies cataloger, University of Washington Libraries, has been designated a library consultant in a program coordinated by the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) to provide technical support for the Kyrgyz-American School (KAS) of the Kyrgyz National State University in Kyrgyzstan in central Asia. The goal of the project is to develop an academic program for undergraduate students which will reflect international standards of excellence, including the development of modern library facilities. As the projected major training center for future Central Asian leaders in business and government, the KAS will emphasize business administration, foreign languages, social sciences and law.
St. Germain visited the KAS Library from March 19 to April 3, 1995 to discuss current conditions with the KAS librarian, Natasha Iosipenko. A small core collection of reference books was delivered during the visit as a basis for ongoing collection development.
Iosipenko will visit the UW Libraries during June 1995 to learn about acquisitions in U.S. libraries.
From April through June 1995, the Libraries Manuscripts and University Archives Division is exhibiting original writings from its collection on the Allen Library balcony. Entitled "But this place, where sea and fresh water meet, Is important: Manuscripts from the Puget Sound Country," the display features letters, speeches, newspaper accounts and photographs of early residents of western Washington near Puget Sound, and highlights the personalities and events that gave this region an identity.
"Near tidewater along Puget Sound, enterprising men and women sought new opportunities to revive their fortunes or simply earn a living. They came to build sawmills, teach school or seek husbands. Established residents, people of color, met hostility during hard times or wartime. Others were displaced or mistreated until their numbers had dwindled. These people--as they succeeded or failed, were respected or abused, worked with brawn or pen--are the story of the Puget Sound Country." --from the text of the exhibit
