The symposium aimed to introduce the KOHA system and how to manage digital libraries efficiently by organizing books, theses, and theses in a modern electronic way, as well as how to quickly access information through advanced research, easy retrieval of sources, and preservation of academic and scientific resources safely and sustainably to achieve integration with international library systems in order to ensure the exchange of data and resources, in addition to how to facilitate indexing and classification operations in line with international library standards.
