PSUT Portal The center of Excellence for Library Services was established during the academic year 2020/2021 to become the first center of its kind in the Arab world and the region at the level of private universities. It represents a pioneering qualitative step toward cooperation and collaborative work among universities, aiming to unify work mechanisms and tools in accordance with local and international professional library standards. The Center is part of PSUT and includes fifteen universities, namely: PSUT, Amman Arab University, Philadelphia University, Isra University, Irbid National University, Jerash University, Middle East University, Petra University, The World Islamic Sciences and Education University, Applied Science Private University, Zarqa University, Amman Al-Ahliyya University, Al Hussein Technical University, Luminus Technical University College, and Jadara University.
The center seeks to establish a unified electronic portal for information resources available in the libraries of member universities, with the aim of supporting digital transformation and e-learning. At the same time, it aspires to create a digital repository to preserve and share the intellectual and knowledge output of the member universities’ community, and to make it accessible for use, including: bibliographic records, university theses and dissertations, academic journals, and other intellectual and knowledge production. In addition, the center works to unify library systems across member universities by developing computerized library systems to meet the requirements of digital transformation according to users’ needs, and by providing advanced electronic services.
