Feedback
“ The work of Librarians to prepare the subject for program European Studies is impressive. Three European disciplines like European History, European Integration and European Union Law and Human Rights are specific for our department…
Table of content for every course is large and includes databases, eBooks and articles, Web sites, Readings and References, Reviews and courses. Moreover, Video files and Images are useful to illustrate the theoretic part of the discipline.
Thanks to the AUCA Librarian we have the open access to every material delivered the large scale of materials useful for the making research, prepare presentation, write an article and report in general. We could use this kind of materials for the literature review, writing for the Senior Thesis or scholar’s articles and research.” Liubov Jdanova, Chair of European Studies.
