Arab Institute for Information
Arabcin institutions
  A tremendous priority has been given to issues concerning vocational training. Therefore the club dedicated its activities to the documentalists, library and information specialists. This fact was reflected from a void that spread in the Arab countries in this field. In other words, most of the Arabic foundations and centers usually chose the easiest and most attracting form that drew the attention of media, which always had been symposiums. Although we believe in the importance of symposiums in spreading the awareness of information and establishing a good cultural ground for interested specialists. We also believe that what is more important is to elevate the skills of Arab documentalists, archivists, men of libraries, information and the
technology of information.
