Library Classification System
The Library collections are organized according to the Dewey Decimal Classification System with some adaptations to accommodate the Arabic Language, Arabic Literature and Islamic Religion. The DDC Scheme classifies knowledge into the following ten main categories with uniform notations (classification numbers) that range from 000 - 999 as follows:
| 000 | Generalities | 500 | Natural Sciences & Mathematics |
| 100 | Philosophy and Psychology | 600 | Technology (Applied Sciences) |
| 200 | Religion | 700 | Arts |
| 300 | Social Sciences | 800 | Literature and Rhetoric |
| 400 | Languages | 900 | History and Geography |
Cutter Number (Author numbers, or letters) are added to classification number to constitute the Call Number by which books are arranged on the shelves. The Library also uses the Anglo-American Cataloguing rules (AACR2), and the International Standards of Bibliographical Description (ISBD-M-S) for descriptive and subjective cataloguing, along with MINISIS Computer program for Processing the storage and retrieval of information
