The University Library

The university library is an academic, cultural, educational, and social institution that aims to collect information resources and develop them through various means, including purchasing, gifting, exchanging, or depositing. It organizes these resources by cataloguing, classifying, and arranging them on shelves for quick retrieval and offers them to a diverse community of users through a qualified staff specialized in library and information sciences.

Central Library at the University

While each college within the university has its own library, the presence of a central library that oversees all faculties and institute libraries under the university is essential for ensuring proper organization of library services. The central library coordinates and integrates the activities of these libraries and facilitates cooperation among them. It also provides shared resources that may not be feasible to acquire for each individual faculty library.
The university also operates a central medical library located in Al-Arab Medical Campus, which serves students of medical faculties and researchers in medical sciences. Additionally, there is a central library temporarily housed in the Faculty of Education, offering services to students of humanities and applied sciences.
