Résumé:
The study we present intended to show the degree of participation and membership of
librarys arab in the arab unified catalog (aruc), in particular, the participation of
libraries algerian.
This huge project which chappote by the public library elmalik abdelaziz a riadh of saudi
arabia, want see in the coming years, all libraries in the arab world intgrees this
project, knowing that this project started in 2005, and reched a considerable ratio of
arab contribution now until.
In respect of algerian libraries, we have found that only two libraries are in direct
connection with this project; the national library of algeria and the library of the
university of alger1. The national library despite the different contacts with this
project, is not yet ready to enjoy, because no automation of its fund documentary. For
whom the library of the university of alger1, this one is full membership in this project,
and it has arrived, until now, to download on its computers, several thousands catalog
cards, and another side it put all its recordes on the basis of arab unified catalog. And it
is able to participate at training libraries of nation in coordination with the persons
responsible from arab unified catalog, if there will have other membershipes. The
contribution of algeria in general is low wherefrom the number of participating
libraries. Nationl libraries can profit from this projec to creat a nationl system of
information, why not arab system later.
