There is an Egyptian librarian who has expressed a great deal of
interest about the use of XML in libraries, but who has been fighting
the lack of information and resources in his native land. He has
recently been successful in receiving a Fulbright Scholarship to work
and study in the United States in 2006/07. Although he will received
placement assistance aimed at placing him with an appropriate
institution, I'm sure there are institutions representing on these
mailing lists that may be particularly well-suited to his interests.
If you would entertain the idea of hosting this librarian during his
visit to the United States, please let me know and I'll put you in
touch with him. He can request placement at one or more locations in
order of preference, although the final placement decision is made by
the Amideast office in Washington, DC. Thanks,
Roy
