On July 8, 2018, the Arabic Union catalog held three training courses on rules, descriptions, and resources. This course covered AACR2 and MARC21 standards for describing printed materials. A series of courses was offered in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Electronic Publishing at the University of Jordan. Around 60 trainees representing 22 Arab institutions and universities from Jordan, Iraq, and Palestine attended the courses.

As part of the conference opening, the Arabic Union catalog was also recognized for its outstanding work and contributions. At the Egyptian National Library and Archives on July 4-5, 2018, a course on describing non-print materials was conducted in collaboration with the Egyptian Association for Libraries, Information, and Archives.Bottom of Form
