As part of the distance learning Effort the International Open College of Ethiopia is compiling and building the Ethiopian Resource Center, with the hope that we can use this library to teach the world about Ethiopia. Therefore we encourage you to add the title, author, date of publication, and publisher of Ethiopian Books, which you believe are vital to this effort.

Sincerely,
EDLA/IOCE
