Arabic Union Catalog

The Arabic Union Catalog (AUC) is a collaboratively nonprofit project which mainly aims to establish a collaborative environment for the Arab libraries and to reduce the cost of cataloging Arabic information resources by sharing cataloging. This guarantees standardizing cataloging practices in the Arab libraries and conforming international standards in the bibliographic description. As a result, the level of bibliographic processing in the Arab libraries will be developed, which, consequently, will positively impact on distributing the Arabic book and introducing the Arab-Islamic culture. This project depends on high quality records offered to libraries inside and outside the Arab World, which will enable users to easily access to the specific Arabic information resource.
