Abstract

The study aimed to analyses and evaluate the union catalog in the
school libraries in Egypt, and recognizing its perception’s degree, and its
comprehension for the resources that the libraries have, and defining the
problems and the obstacles that face the librarians in preparing the union
catalog for school libraries in Egypt and by the case study method I’ve
reached with the study lots of results and the more important ones of them
is that the common schools libraries have reached 2.19% of the total of the
Egyptian governmental schools in preparing the union catalog, and the
involved institutes reached 2.29% only of the total of the AZHAR’s
institutes in preparing the union catalog due to, that there’s no legal, formal
form for the schools libraries corpus Egypt, and there’s also the work with
the union catalog gests done depending on the volunteers’ effort.
