Depository Library
A depository library is a library legally designated to become an access point for publications and other information resources produced by governmental and non-governmental organizations (Ex. Federal Governments, Patent Offices, etc; such as The United Nations, The European Union, Arab league, Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange, … etc). The Bibliotheca Alexandrina Depository Library hosts publications and Information resources of more than fifty International and Governmental entities; on top of which are The United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), The Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange, and others.
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina depository library aims at supporting teaching, learning, and research processes; by acting as an information center providing quality publications from its depositors. It is located within the main reading hall on level F2. The primary objectives of the information center are:
• Acquire, organize, and disseminate the publications of the various governmental bodies represented and their constituent and related organizations.
• Provide reference and information services on the history, activities, structure and publications of the organizations highlighted within the Depository Collection.
The first of these objectives is met through the collection development activities of the depository. The second is met by the depository's public services activities.
