Visit to the American University of Armenia

The American University of Armenia is an American-style graduate school founded in 1991, becoming a reality thanks to the steadfast support of key internal Armenian goverment ministers in the fledgling Armenian independent government and two major institutions in the United States: the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) and the University of California (UC) . The Library at AUA is moving into a newly constructed campus building in November, and the former library building will be converted to other uses. Library Director Satenik (Bella) Avakyan and Reference Librarian Hasmik Galstyan provided a warm reception and tour of the whole school. Of course I was prepared to give a reference librarian the YUL t-shirt.
