Library
The permanent and full-sized AUM Library will be constructed in Phase II of campus construction in accordance with the University Master Plan. However, during the interim arrangements in Phase I, there is sufficient space for library holdings, including books, reference materials and journals in addition to several reading rooms distributed in the academic buildings that are operational in Phase I.
The Library organizes knowledge resources through technical methods of cataloging, classification and indexing by using the Anglo-American Cataloging Rule 2, the Dewey Decimal Classification and the International Standard Bibliographic Description. Computers are used in all of the Library’s services and activities, in addition to using a full integrated library system called Koha to support those services.
The interim arrangement also provides eight reading rooms, 100 square meters each, fully furnished with reading tables, computers and chairs for library users.
Standard library services provided to students include, but are not limited to the following:
- Circulation :
Intranet-style system, accessed by means of computer terminals. As with most contemporary systems, students access lending facilities without the assistance of staff, by means of their university identity cards. Circulation helps users with all procedures related to checking out and returning books, and is also responsible for shelving, locating missing books and recalling books checked out to other users, among many other jobs.
