Minneapolis, MN, USA. June 3, 2008 —East View Information Services,
a leading provider of information resources from Russia, China and other countries
of Eurasia, today announced its continued sponsorship of the Special Library Association
(SLA) Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics Division’s "2007-2008 PAM International Membership
Award". Mandy Taha, this year’s award recipient, will be attending the Special Libraries
Association (SLA) Annual Conference in Seattle, June 15-18, 2007.
The PAM International Membership Award is presented to a librarian from a newly
industrialized or developing country who is currently working at a library or in
another information-related capacity, in a subject area relevant to PAM. The librarian
has the opportunity to build information exchanges and connect with colleagues in
SLA and in the PAM division.
“We truly appreciate East View's sponsorship of this very important PAM award,”
said Karen L. Andrews, Head of the Physical Sciences & Engineering Library at
the University of California, Davis. “Having the international member come to the
conference is a highlight for us, and it wouldn't happen without the sponsorship.
This has been a very rewarding exchange and relationship. Prior PAM International
Awardees have continued to communicate with PAM members via the listserv, keeping
us informed of events and librarianship in their countries, and tapping member expertise
as needed. The PAM International Award fosters lifetime relationships of mutual
benefit to all.”
“We’re delighted to once again sponsor this award, which highlights the importance
of access to information in newly industrialized and developing countries. Information
exchanges lead to knowledge awareness, which leads to technological advancement.
At East View we are committed to fostering the exchange of knowledge around the
world," said Kent D. Lee, President and CEO of East View Information Services.
Mandy Taha, who is Senior Research Services Librarian at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina
in Egypt, will present a report about the library of Alexandria and its goals and
services as a public and research library at the annual meeting in June 2008.
