Abstract

The National Library of the Arab Republic of Egypt is preparing a computer‐based catalogue of its acquisitions from 1870 to 1969. Keypunching has begun with the Arabic holdings, and is complete for science and technology classes. The paper discusses the problems of data preparation and computer printout of Arabic text.
