    Welcome to the libraries of research methods.  In only one year the Library of Alexandria has overtaken the Library of Congress and the British Library in terms of research books because of your help.  We are aiming for 10,000 books.

    As you know we will be collecting more research books at the JSM that is coming up. In addition, for those who have donated, or plan to donate we hope to have a Library of Alexandria party with Egyptian Sweets.  We are also trying to get Egyptian wine, if not wine from the region (Jordan, Lebanon).  We would love to have you join us on Monday Night, July 31.  We will celebrate your amazing donations as well as the collaboration of the ASA with the Library of Alexandria, and Fritz's Deming lecture

    For those who do not want to carry your books to the meeting, please send them to my office. Please email (ronaldlaporte@gmail.com) or call (7249349023)
