The system provides Arabic libraries with a flexible, effective and year-long collection development mechanism that enables all stakeholders faculty, heads of departments, and librarians to take part in the acquisition process. This strategy, unique to each institution, provides a qualitative leap in Arabic collections development, as well as making available related services, such as the acquisition of selected books and their bibliographic records in compliance with the latest international standards and the highest quality levels.
