Library

The library was established simultaneously with the University College and was intended as a specialized reference center for Hospitality and Tourism.
The aim of the library has always been to provide not only the University College campus (including both the students and the faculty staff), but also other researchers in the fields of Hospitality and Tourism studies, with all the necessary materials they require.

The library stacks contain the latest, up-to-date material for Tourism and Hospitality studies. There are more than 7,000 items, including books, DVDs, and reference materials in Arabic, English, French, German, and Italian languages. Additionally, the library subscribes to more than fifty periodicals, in Arabic and other languages.

All library materials are classified according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system. The circulation system uses WINISIS software in both Arabic and English. Cataloguing procedures comply with the Library of Congress Subject Headings and the Anglo - American Cataloguing Rules. Additionally, authorized users of the library are able to access the World Tourism Organization's international database.

The Internet is available through dedicated computer terminals in the library, and some items may be borrowed by authorized users; reference books and periodicals are not available for borrowing. All students and staff are able to use the library, and individual memberships can be arranged for members of the community who are interested in utilizing the library services.
The library is open between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, excluding religious holy days and official public holidays.
