Abstract

The role of learning resource centers in supporting the educational
process in the Arab world: a scientific review.
The review of intellectual production aimed at researching the intellectual
production published on the topic "The role of learning resource centers in
supporting the educational process in the Arab world." This review presented the
most important findings of intellectual production at the Arab and international
level on the topic in the electronic or printed form. To clarify the total and partial
relationship of the studies he reviews, and to treat each study a new idea, worthy
of reading and review, and having a close relationship with the research topic.
The most important results of this review were:
Insufficient resources and financial allocations to transform libraries into
resource centers for learning, and the lack of representation of libraries in
planning committees and major forums to support them and turn them into
a resource center for learning.
The strongest justification for changing the name of school libraries into
learning resource centers is the process of integrating school libraries with
educational aids, given that both information sources and educational aids
are sources of learning, and the factors that lead to increasing the
effectiveness of the learning resource center are the most important of
which are: qualified workers, the appropriate building and material
facilities, and the budget Of the center, and the availability of information
sources of all kinds and forms.
Librarians face many obstacles due to the lack of a job description that fits
their work in the LRC, which results in the absence of qualified staff as a
specialist in LRC.
