Central Library of Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST) was established by Presidential Decree No. 245 of 1996 in accordance with Law 101/1992 of the establishment of private universities, as the university is a member in the Union of Arab Universities and the Association of African Universities.
The library opens its doors from 9 am till 5 pm, except Thursday it is open from 9 am till 3 pm to provide maximum time for students and researchers. It includes bibliographic information services, internal and external circulation, reference services, and electronic document delivery, either through its general collection of books and references, digital library, Must digital archive and research repository MDAR, or through the Egyptian Knowledge Bank EKB.
The library contains specialized references in the fields of medical, biological, engineering, media, languages and literature, archeology, information technology, and other scientific majors taught at the university faculties in order to serve all scientific, cultural and creative fields, because it is our goal that we seek to achieve.
Moreover, the library provides good training opportunities for students specializing in library science and information technology to ensure continuous development through joint efforts between academics and librarians.
We librarians, the custodians of knowledge, preservers of civilization, documenters of knowledge; most likely you will encounter us, and you may not even recognize our names, but you will never miss our presence and impact which speaks loudly with every paper, page and book cover. You will find us in biographies, meet us in people’s autobiographies and our spirit will remain fluttering between the bookshelves. We will definitely go and others will replace, but the effect remains!!
