• Mission to Baghdad: Toward Rebuilding a National Library (Video)
  This is a conversation with Mary-Jane Deeb and Michael Albin, two of the three librarians who traveled to Baghdad in November 2003. Their mission was to assist the staff of the Iraqi Library and assess the damage to its building and its collections after two fires, extensive water damage and a devastating explosion.
