The cataloguing of books has been computerized since 1990. A user can search the “Book” data base or traditional catalogues in the following ways:

• Alphabetical catalogue – items are selected by a writer's surname or by title if a work has more than three authors.
• Specialized catalogue – items are selected according to specialized fields.
• Subject catalogue – items are selected according to subjects, notions and themes dealt with in a book.

Our plans are to computerize all library services.
