Harold Washington College — Library Newsletter
Global Initiative Chicago Conference — Library Resources
Spring 2007 As many of you may be aware, on January 25, 2007 Harold Washington College will host the Global Initia- tive Chicago (GIC) conference. In an effort to support College sponsored activities, the Library has recently acquired a number of books related to globalization, free trade, NAFTA, CAFTA and the World Trade Or- ganization. It is our goal to provide a deeper understanding of the world we live in and offer students and Special Mention: faculty the chance to study these vital issues. We have recently added the following books to our collection:
