• W137482916 abstract "The article provides background information on the processing of Arabic materials using a combination of local and modified cataloging rules and the creation of the Arabic card catalog at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Library (KFUPM). It also gives a brief history of KFUPM library automation and then presents various options considered for developing the Arabized version of DOBIS/LIBIS. Finally, the functions and features of the Arabic online catalog are described. King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM, formerly UPM) was founded as a college in 1963. The status of the college was later changed to a university in 1975. KFUPM provides advanced training of students in the fields of science and engineering to prepare them for service and leadership in the Kingdom's petroleum and mineral industries. (1) The academic programs of the university are well supported by a central library with a strong collection of more than 250,000 volumes. Because the university's main focus is on study and teaching in scientific and technical areas, the library's collection is comprised mostly of non-Arabic materials. Only about 7.5 percent of its collection is in Arabic, most of which supports the Islamic and Arabic studies programs. PROCESSING OF ARABIC MATERIALS The Arabic collection of the library received less attention than others in both development and processing. Until 1976, there was only one person with a professional degree in library science, responsible for acquisitions, bibliographic control, shipment clearance, and all paperwork regarding Arabic materials. For processing, a brief description of books was provided on cards without much attention to cataloging rules. For classification, a temporary modified Dewey Decimal Classification scheme was used, according to which a book was assigned a call number composed of a general number for the class, followed by a slash and an accession number. (2) It was soon realized that the local system for processing Arabic materials was creating access problems. For example, a second copy of a title would appear with a call number different from the first copy, whereas two separate books were at times assigned the same call number. A decision was made therefore to shift from the local system to a standard cataloging system using AACR, Library of Congress (LC) Subject Headings, and the LC Classification Scheme. The idea was also to make use of the LC card sets. To save effort and time in consulting two separate catalogs for Arabic and non-Arabic materials, integration of the two was considered necessary. The transliterated LC cards enabled us to interfile them with the non-Arabic catalog cards. However, to satisfy the library patrons, who still preferred access to the collection through the Arabic alphabet, an Arabic title file was provided wherein one card in every card set was arranged alphabetically by Arabic title. On the other hand, the Arabic collection was also integrated with the non-Arabic collection so that the readers could browse the library's holdings in their subject of interest in one area of the stacks. The decision to adopt a transliterated system for Arabic material was taken also in view of a growing backlog of Arabic books for cataloging and the shortage of Arabic catalogers. The idea was to make use of the LC catalog records and thus reduce the amount of original cataloging. This decision ran against the general feeling of the Arabic speakers who take pride in their native language and show strong opposition to subordinating Arabic to another language in bibliographic records. It was observed that fewer and fewer people were using the card catalog. They resented this scheme and were not willing to learn it. In 1979, the policy was modified to drop transliteration practice in favor of vernacular script records, except for subject heading and class number, which remained in English. …" @default.
