To be a technologically advanced, user-centered information hub supporting e-learning and research excellence:
• Serve as a trusted center for open access, open education, and sustainable knowledge management.
• Act as a catalyst for strategic partnerships within the University and with external institutions.
• Integrate AI-enabled tools and data analytics to enhance discovery and research workflows.

Future plan 2025-2030:

1- Launching the digital repository (theses, BAU memo photos, rare books, and manuscript) on the library webpage.

2- Launching Open Educational Resources (OER): this initiative was led by library administration in collaboration with the Faculty of Business in summer 2025 . The goal is to expand access to high-quality, adaptable learning materials to support teaching and research.

Future plans envision scaling the initiative to all faculties, creating a university-wide ecosystem of openly licensed resources.

The benefit of this initiative:

- Lower costs for students

- Improve access to materials

- Enhance learning outcomes through open access to a wider range of high quality, adaptable content.

Key Tools and Platforms examples: MERLOT, OER Commons, LibreTexts, and OpenStax ,H5P for interactive content.

3- Advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

The University Library actively supports the United Nations SDGs across our services, collections, and operations. In line with the university’s mission, we prioritize quality education, strategic partnerships, and technical assistance.

Establish an SDG–Libraries Steering Group to govern our library-wide sustainability strategy, using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and annual reporting to track progress.

4- Upgrading our cataloging system from legacy MARC records to BIBFRAME, a modern standard initiated by the Library of Congress. 

This transition relies on two core models:

• Conceptual Model: Connects library data to web entities, making collections highly discoverable online.

• Descriptive Model: Replaces rigid text records with a flexible, web-compatible architecture.
