More than 2,000 books, catalogues, journals and works of literature have been made publicly available in Jameel Library<\/a>, the first open-access contemporary arts library and resource center in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Jameel Library is an open contemporary arts research center dedicated to cultural histories of the Gulf and its neighboring regions, located at the heart of the Jameel Arts Centre<\/a> in Dubai. \u00a0The growing multimedia library collection features books, journals, catalogues, theses, artists\u2019 files and ephemera in both English and Arabic. It also includes significant material gathered from local, regional and international artists as well as academic, arts and cultural organizations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This bilingual collection will expand over the coming years. Organizers hope to eventually include artists\u2019 files and multimedia content.\u00a0 It will complement Jameel Arts Centre\u2019s ongoing programs and exhibitions, and already includes material on some of the artists featured in the Art Jameel<\/a> Collection.<\/p>\n

\n

Uns Kattan, Head of Learning and Research at Art Jameel, said: \u201cThe Jameel Library is the first public research center to focus on the cultural histories of this region; it\u2019s a tremendously exciting and urgent project.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a \u2018silent library\u2019, but instead one that is alive with talks and events, discussion and debate. \u00a0It\u2019s also been a very collaborative project, with cultural institutions across the UAE and wider region recommending, and even donating, books and materials to us. \u00a0Art Jameel also commissions writers and researchers, so that we\u2019re telling the \u201chistory of the present\u201d as well as that of the past. \u00a0Like the Jameel Arts Centre, the Library is open to all. \u00a0We look forward to welcoming the public.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/td>\nFree and open to all, the library also has an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC<\/a>), which can be searched entirely online by a global audience.\u00a0 Digitizing materials is a core tenet of the library\u2019s future plans.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41209,"template":"","tags":[],"newscategory":[150],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nContemporary Arts Library In UAE Launches
