On May 18, 2006, U.S. Ambassador John Evans participated in the official
opening of the Library Science Computer Laboratory at the Yerevan State
Pedagogical University. The creation of the computer lab was made possible
by the donation of six computers and the installation of library automation
software by the U.S. Embassy in Armenia. The Pedagogical University provided
the newly refurbished room for the laboratory.
Since 2000, the Information Resource Center of the U.S. Embassy has
cooperated with the School of Library Science at Yerevan State Pedagogical
University. This has included bringing in American speakers every year to
lecture on modern developments in library science, as well as an expert in
2005 to help design a new, up-to-date library science curriculum. The
Information Resource Center and staff are an open resource for all students
and researchers who want to learn more about the U.S. and about developments
there.
