Libraries are among the most important features that indicate the level of civilizational and cultural progress among the peoples of the world. They are a treasure trove of information that researchers resort to, as they are considered one of the most important sources of information, and in order for this information to be available to all, and through the impact of modern technology on the quality of services provided in terms of their accuracy and speed of provision Information from its traditional form to electronic form by computing many books very quickly in response to the wishes of the beneficiaries. With the full support of the decision makers at the University of Technology, represented by the President of the University the respected, and with the follow-up of the Assistant President of the University the respected for Scientific Affairs and Graduate Studies, and under the direct supervision of the Director of the Information Technology Center.

Our center (Electronic Systems and Administration Division, University Websites Division) has prepared two systems (electronic knowledge platform system and book borrowing system). Displaying the incoming books to enable the purchase of these books electronically so that the system allows the possibility of obtaining the extracts of university theses granted from the departments electronically wherever there is a personal account connected to an internet network.

It is worth noting the standard time in preparing these systems.

* The reading room in the Central Library is equipped with Internet service, which operates on the Hotspot system, and at a rate of one free hour for each visitor per day.

The Director of the Information Technology Center, Dr. Ghassan Abdel-Hussein Bilal, has published a  research entitled (Evaluating OSHA’s fatality and catastrophe investigation summaries: Arc flash focus) in Safety Science magazine with an impact factor of 4.105 from Clarfit (Cite Score 6.5) from Scopes.

 The research was distinguished by the joint academic and industrial side with external researchers from the United States of America from Lawrence Technological University and Estimator I, Fisk Electric Company.

 And it is learned from research in the process of protecting workers in the field of thermal electricity from exposure to physical harm in the event of a sudden fire by equipping them with a number of treatments that prevent them from exposure to this heat and to maintain their physical safety at work.

 Dr. Ghassan Abdel-Hussein said despite the momentum of administrative work at the university, he devotes part of his time to scientific research and communication with foreign researchers to increase knowledge, and that he and his colleagues contribute to increasing the value of the university’s global axis within the classifications.

Recently, Assistant Lecturer Idrees Alaa Zahid who works at the Information Technology Center in the University of Technology got his certificate as an International Peer Scientific advisor. This certification was granted by Publons Academy which is owned by Clarivate Analytics for assessing the scientific researches and maintaining their standards.

In order to acquire the certificate, A.L. Idrees had to pass the training course and meet the academy requirements. Then, he had to write an evaluation for two already published scientific researches that to be assessed later on by a supervisor in the Publons Academy.

Under the auspices of the Assistant President of the University for Scientific Affairs, Dr. Haider Abd Dahd, the respected, a joint workshop was held between the Information Technology Center and the Central Library on 1/4/2021, concerned with linking the university's subsidiary libraries in departments with the Central Library electronically by creating a common database for all libraries within The University of Technology includes the available book sources, as the Information Technology Center adopted the technical department in the process of managing the work. Through the workshop, the representatives of the departments were explained and trained on how to deal with the project technically, while the Central Library Department was committed to the responsibility of explaining and clarifying the work administratively through the same workshop.
