Welcome to the first issue of the Abu Dhabi Women's College Library & ILC Newsletter!
The start of a new semester often means you see new faces on campus and you might see some new faces if you pop into the Libraries at Women’s City Campus and Khalifa Women’s Campus – as well as your old favorites. Louise Sikkens, Stephen Visagie and Helen Weston are joining Alan Pollock to work with students and faculty in these Libraries and Independent Learning Centres.
