With funding from NSF and the US/Egypt Joint Science and Technology Fund, IMLS and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) partnered to organize a US-Egyptian workshop at the BA in January 2006. The purpose of the workshop was to lay the foundation for development of a core infrastructure, identify scope and requirements for initial content for a Digital Library of the Middle East, and to discuss requirements for establishment of dedicated linkages to global science and technology networks.

Specific workshop objectives were to:

• Agree on a long-term vision
• Assess the current information infrastructure in the Middle East and examine the potential for establishing advanced research networks
• Identify a model for content aggregation, management, and preservation
• Identify content scope and services, and
• Document requirements as a roadmap for future actions

Presenters will discuss the workshop and forthcoming report as well as anticipated next steps to advance the long-term vision.
