Through its collections and services, the Iowa State University Library supports the University's international research and outreach programs. The Library is particularly interested in agricultural libraries in Ukraine because the ISU College of Agriculture has research agreements with the agricultural academy and some of the research institutes and agricultural institutions of higher education in Ukraine. The ISU Library and the Central Scientific Agricultural Library (CSAL) of the Ukrainian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (UAAS) signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in October 1993, in which the two libraries agreed to continue and enhance their publications exchanges, collaborate in providing expertise in technology and languages, and gain an understanding of the publishing industry and agricultural research initiatives in the two countries. In addition, both libraries were interested in pursuing a program of professional training and continuing education.
