After a year in which we did not add any news to the website, we are happy to announce that the website is active once more. Ismail Serageldin had such a busy year with the launch of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and its formal inauguration on 16 October 2002, that we did not receive any material from him. Now the situation has changed and he has promised to keep us supplied with information so that we can maintain the website alive.
Given that so much of what he has been doing is attached to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, or the new Library of Alexandria, we have decided to maintain a link to the Library of Alexandria as one of the buttons that can be directly accessed from the left hand column on the home page.
