Welcome

 

Iranian-American Physicist (IrAP) Network Group has been formed on January 2007 and since then it has been actively in contact with the American Physical Society officials and specifically with the Forum on International Physics (APS/FIP). In this web site, you will be introduced with our goals and activities. You can find our Bylaws and can learn about our Board of the Directors (who are elected by the votes of the IrAP Network Group members). Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of any help.

Donate your surplus academic books and journals to Iran

With the advent of computers and digital publishing of journals, almost all new or archived academic journals have been transferred into electronic formats. Libraries, as we knew them, are chaning. Many organizations and individuals are retiring their libraries of bound journals. You can donate your journals to us and we will try to find a good home for your donations where eager and needy students can benefit from them. There are many places in the world that can't afford to have access to electronic libraries and can't pay the fees to read a research article on a computer either. Indeed there are many universities where they don't have computers in their libraries. We can send your donations to academic institutions in Iran. Please let us know if you would like to donate bound journals and books.
