Egypt's National Library Seeks to Improve Access to Information

March 18, 2012 by Gary Price

The NLA also aims to work more closely with Egyptian cultural and heritage centres with the aim of encouraging library development and the archiving sciences. The NLA is also expected to issue a raft of new regulations aimed at improving the exchange of documents and manuscripts.
