by
Gerrit F. Schlomach
Last year Gerrit was studying for his exams at the oldest German library at the University of Heidelberg. After graduation he moved to the Middle East, in the “name of knowledge”. Through this change, the former student of political science was transformed into Mr. Gerrit F. Schlomach M.A., the scientific assistant at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) Regional Office in Amman. His mission: Books! His objective: To develop a multilingual library as an open space of knowledge in Jordan. After the combined efforts of all participating forces and the deployment of WinISIS 1.5, the first step of the mission was completed at the beginning of 2006. As a result, more than 1,000 documented sources were reported to the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Headquarters in Berlin.
