JAKARTA (JP): Minister of Trade and Industry Mohamad "Bob"

The center is a complete reference center for the Indonesian

"The center will not only be a useful information source for
students at the LaSalle International College but for all
involved in fashion design and marketing," Smith said.

Consisting of a research center, an IBM Internet Center and

and business administration. It also includes a comprehensive
collection of current fabrics by knitting, weaving and textile
producers from across the country.
