Heads of university central libraries have recommended the establishment of a strategic alliance between the central libraries of universities in Islamic countries to help promote scientific research and teaching and improve computer literacy among students and teachers.
It would be created through the electronic networking of the member universities of Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World, FUIW.
The library heads also called for cooperation in the development of standardised bibliographical databases and indexes, ensuring the downloading of manuscripts and rare books, and providing technical services such as inter-borrowing, exchange and photocopying.
The recommendations were made during the first regional conference of the heads of the central libraries of the universities of the Islamic world held in Cairo, Egypt, in December under the theme "Towards a strategic alliance for building knowledge societies". More than 100 heads of libraries or their representatives attended from Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Niger, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
