    USAID fund supports Haigazian University Library's automation

    Awkar, Beirut-Lebanon: Thursday, March 25, 2004 - An official delegation
    representing Haigazian
    University president, Rev. Dr. Paul Haidostian, attended a special ceremony
    held in the US Embassy in Awkar, Lebanon, to receive a check of $50,000 from
    USAID. Three other organizations also received special grants on that day.

    US Ambassador Vincent Battle and USAID/Lebanon Mission Director, Mr. Raouf
    Youssef presented the check to Mr. Yervant Bakikian, HU Financial
    Comptroller. Present were the other two members of the Haigazian delegation,
    Dean of Business & Economics Dr. Fadi Asrawi and HU Librarian Mrs. Zevart
    Tanielian.

    The USAID fund will support Haigazian University library's automation, by
    purchasing software and hardware equipment. The project will serve to have
    the Haigazian's resources online, and will benefit all students as well as
    more than 80 faculty members.

    Automating the Haigazian's library will help promote research in all
    fields, as well as facilitate the exchange of library resources between
    Haigazian University and other American universities in Lebanon. The online
    connection will also allow students to
    use the Library of Congress and numerous U.S. institutions of higher
    education.

    The total automation cost is expected to reach $ 120, 000.
