Amna Othman Al Omare Director of the AUK Library
American University of Kuwait Appoints Amna Othman Al Omare Director of the University Library
Salmiya, Kuwait, April 28, 2008: Following an extensive international search, Dr. Nizar Hamzeh, Dean of College of Arts and Sciences, has announced the appointment of Miss Amna Othman Al Omare, Interim Library Director since January 2008, to the post of Director of the University Library at the American University of Kuwait (AUK), effective immediately. Al Omare, a member of the AUK family since September 2004, has emerged as the most talented and qualified candidate. She has a distinguished career in higher education, having come to AUK after more than a decade at Kuwait University, where she taught English from 1986 to 1991, became Assistant Librarian in 1991, and then headed its non-Arabic Cataloging Division from 1997 to 2004. Widely respected in her field, she is a member of the Arabian Gulf Chapter of the Special Library Association and served on its Strategic Planning Committee in 1999.
She has traveled extensively to develop her professional skills, and has participated in library conferences here in Kuwait, in the United States, in the UAE, and Bahrain. She is a 1986 graduate of Kuwait University, where she majored in Art and English Literature.
Amna began her work at AUK at the same time our university opened, serving first as Collection Development Librarian and, since January 2008, as Interim Library Director. She has been a guiding force in the Library's development, working closely with faculty members to build resources necessary to their teaching, and with students to provide reference and research support. She is also leading a process of collections evaluation that ensures the strategic growth of Library resources in tandem with the evolution of AUK's curriculum. The Library is at the core of our academic and many of our administrative processes at AUK, and Amna has participated in building it into the dynamic learning environment that we all enjoy.
John James, Associate Librarian Emeritus of Dartmouth College, served on the search committee and was involved in interviewing all of the candidates. "I had the opportunity to work with Amna when she visited Dartmouth and to spend four days with her in Kuwait," he said. "In the Library, I observed a comfortable environment conducive to learning and filled with students busy studying individually and in groups. It was clear that the Library is a place where students want to be." James said he had also spoken with faculty members who were enthusiastic about how her work supports their teaching and research efforts.
"This is a key role at AUK," said Dale Eickelman, the Relationship Coordinator for the Dartmouth/AUK Program. "Amna has displayed exceptional leadership in building the AUK Library into a center of academic excellence. Her expertise, combined with her collaborative approach and her commitment to the university, have made the Library a vibrant center of learning at AUK."

AUK Participates in the Saudi Janadriya Festival
American University of Kuwait professor and students awarded grant to research Saudi traditional music
Musicology professor and Head of the Humanities and Arts Division, Dr. Lisa Urkevich and five AUK students were invited as distinguished guests of the Saudi government to participate in cultural research during the women's days of the Saudi Janadriya Festival (March 17-20). The students, who are part of a class that studies Arabian culture, excel academically and are noted for their dedication to Arabian Heritage; they were chosen from hundreds to receive this special grant.
The annual Janadriya Heritage Festival is a two week cultural event featuring artisans, food, costumes, wedding rituals, and traditional music and dance of the Kingdom. The last few days of the festival are dedicated exclusively to women. During this time, the AUK students were taken behind the scenes to interview the craftspeople and artists and get a glimpse of traditional customs rarely seen. Remote regions of Saudi Arabia, including the isolated mountains of Hijaz, were especially intriguing. As Journalism major Shomoukh Al-Mesaid recalled, "I was fascinated by so much rich tradition that I had never seen before."
Students were especially pleased to meet many different people from such a large country. Junior at AUK, Dalal Al Sabah described her experience:
"I not only had a chance to experience the different cultures of Saudi Arabia, I also made a lot of friends from the various regions who added so many perspectives and personalized the culture we were viewing."
Although before departing Kuwait, the students had extensively studied Saudi culture, the experience of being with the Saudi women and sharing their heritage was invaluable.
Shahed Al-Tammar noted that "attending the Janadriya festival was truly a remarkable experience. It has revived and strengthened my cultural heritage and ethnic background. I was honored to be among the chosen ones, for this trip was a magnificent learning experience about the profound culture of our neighboring country, Saudi Arabia."
"Janadriya was an enriching cultural exchange extravaganza" added AUK senior Noufa Al-Sabah.
Accounting major, Nada Al Yahia called it "a memorable experience that took us back into exploring the wonders of ancient Saudi Arabia."
Dr. Urkevich was delighted by the success of the trip:
"I am thrilled with all that our students learned during this Study Abroad class. We are fortunate to have such good friends in the Saudi Embassy and Ambassador Abdul Aziz Alfayz and Dr. Saleh Al Sagri, who worked so hard to facilitate this visit. This Saudi-Kuwaiti union is a great success, and I am proud of our students and the way they represented AUK and Kuwait."

American News Coverage of the Middle East
The American University of Kuwait held a talk as part of its American Corner lecture series, titled "American News Coverage of the Middle East"
The U.S Embassy in Kuwait sponsored the lecture, which was attended by AUK community members as well as guests, focused on the theme of American media coverage of the Middle East and was conducted by Columbia University professor Peter Spielmann, who is visiting AUK as a Senior Fulbright Specialist and is teaching a course in journalism.
Spielmann said he hoped the event would shed some light on the reasons for the declining and one-sided coverage of the Arab world in America.
"Most Americans are poorly informed regarding making decisions involving the War in Iraq, Iran's nuclear program, and whether the Israel/Palestine peace process has any hope for progress," said Spielmann, who is also an editor at the North America Desk at the Associated Press news wire agency.
Spielmann further added that it is the shrinking of international sections in most major media outlets in America, due to costs of maintaining foreign bureaus and correspondents and audience and reader demands, which leads to the narrow exposure to Gulf countries like Kuwait.
"With Middle East coverage, news-gathering favors violence over development, conflict over cooperation, the shrill over the subtle and local news over international events, leaving most Americans confused about the Middle East," he said.
During the informational session, members of the audience asked if there were studies indicating whether Americans really want to read about violence rather than news stories that reflect peace and prosperity in Arab countries. Spielmann said that most media outlets seem to judge a story based on the impact it would have on their readers and viewers, and that those are usually stories that focus on violence and terrorism.
Spielmann pointed to the growing coverage of entertainment stories, which are starting to dominate news in the United States, as another challenge to balanced reporting on the Middle East.
"We hope the talk will open more dialogue on how Kuwait and other Arab countries can help improve the media coverage that the United States receives about this region," said AUK Journalism Instructor Charles Mitchell, who moderated the event.
