BLOOMINGTON, Indiana — An Asian university's library is getting a boost from Indiana University.
IU's Kelley School of Business is donating more than 1,900 books to Yangon University of Economics in Myanmar as part of renovations at the IU school's undergraduate building.
Kelley Institute for International Business program manager Jonathan Crum tells The Herald-Times (http://bit.ly/1wGQ4LL ) many faculty members donated books from their extensive personal libraries. Those being sent to Myanmar focus on business and economics and include teaching manuals.
The relationship with Yangon is part of a three-year Global Development Alliance project that also includes Hewlett-Packard and other agencies. Its goal is to help Yangon increase its teaching capabilities and help small- to medium-size businesses in Myanmar.
