Library of Alexandria has evolved with the inception to contain a lot of scientific research and technological possibilities of creating a leading position in the march of since and knowledge in Egypt. For this perspective, in 2010 came the thinking of the establishment of "embassies" of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in some places far from the city of Alexandria, which may sometimes suffer from a lack of scientific and technological resources.
"Embassy” here means that state sends a mission to represent it in another state, and the defense of its interests and to facilitate the business and affairs of its citizens residing in the host country. Applying the same logic, the embassies of knowledge aimed by the Library of Alexandria is the representation of this great light of knowledge in the rest of the Egyptian governorates.
Since then, the library has succeeded in establishing embassies of knowledge in Minya University and the city of El Gouna.
Connected to Alexandria's cutting edge Bibliotheca Alexandrina library, this quiet desert spring is El-Gouna's social center. A place that takes Egypt's guests down its incredible history. While in the library you can get to an immense scope of uncommon books by means of online connections to the Alexandrian library.
Established by the Sawiris family, El Gouna Library is a consulate of the BA, set on the track of finishing the Bibliotheca central goal of spreading learning and seeing past the limits of a solitary city.
The advanced material accessible at El Gouna is 750 books. These are the obvious supply of a library inn contrary with the BA that contains more than 50,000 different ones and a store for a wide range of computerized material. Soon an accumulation of writings that will be accessible at ElGouna is the Holy Books, which conveys obsolescent volumes of the Bible and the Quran.
El Gouna Library is the prime example of another age in librarianship: the quantity of books on the racks does not surpass 750 physical books, but rather the genuine abundance of this library lies by the way it is innovatively and digitally situated up to face the difficulties of our time.
On the other hand, the Library of Alexandria are trying to communicate with many Egyptian universities in order to contribute to the dissemination of science and culture of scientific research and by offering several trains services to students on how to write projects or scientific research and review.
The embassy consists of an area of no more than 150-200 square meters is divided into three parts:
Seminar hall for lectures.
Meeting hall.
Rooms for staff.
The ultimate goal of the “knowledge Embassies” is to make it exist all over the Egyptian universities and research centers. In addition to the establishment of embassies of knowledge in some remote areas far from the city of Alexandria will be a short-term objective of this initiative is the establishment of five embassies in the five universities of the university level, and five other embassies in universities in the Delta and the Canal. The mid-term target is the foundation of consulates in every single Open University.
