Last updated: 21 August 1997

The newly established World Wide Web Center at Birzeit hopes to establish a good Web reference library. As we were a little slow to get on the Web here and knowledge of the Internet is generally limited in Palestine, we would be very happy to receive old copies of any Web-related magazines and books that you may have lying around. The PC platform for all donations and CD ROMs should be IBM, not Macintosh.

Below is a list of current resources, which will be updated as and when donations are received. The university unfortunately has no funds to pay for postage costs of donations. Second copies of books mentioned below are appreciated, as this will enable a reference copy to remain in the library while others are lent out.
