CASCA Journals Project

By Alan Batten

This year Paul Delaney completed a major shipment to the Gaza strip, thus once again creating storage room for more gifts of books and journals. I have sent a much smaller shipment from Victoria to Algeria. We have also received an enquiry from Nigeria and are awaiting a clarification of their needs. As I have found by personal experience, all forms of communication with Nigeria are slow and unreliable.

While we continue to welcome gifts of old journals and books, the crying need in many countries is for current material. To my knowledge, astronomers in Algeria, Nigeria and Viet Nam have no journals at all. I suspect that they are only a few of many similarly situated. I would again ask CASCA members to consider donating journals volume by volume, as each one is completed. It may be inconvenient to have to use the library copy, but at least we have libraries.
