Sabre Foundation and Ukrainian Legal Foundation
Develop National Legal Library of Ukraine
The Sabre Foundation and the Ukrainian Legal Foundation have been awarded
a $95,972 grant for the development of the National Legal Library of
Ukraine from the ARD/Checchi Rule of Law Consortium. The grant supports
the establishment of a modern legal library system through expansion of
the library's collection, adoption of an appropriate cataloguing system,
the extension of a computer network linking law libraries in Ukraine and
training on Internet-based information resources.
The library is intended to meet the needs of legal scholars, law students,
lawyers, judges, members of parliament and government and their staffs as
well as the general public. A branch of the library is scheduled to open
this year in Kharkiv at the Ukrainian Legal Academy, the largest law
school in Ukraine.
Sabre Foundation will solicit materials for the library from sources
including publishers, law firms, libraries, universities, individuals
and bar associations. Priority areas are constitutional law; commercial
law; comparative law; human rights law and European Community law as
well as basic reference works and specialized dictionaries.
