Library

Dubai College believes strongly in maintaining a well resourced learning resource centre.

The library currently holds over 15,000 books, over 260 DVDs and more than 90 audio cassettes as well as stand alone and network CD ROMS, computer programs and ten computers with access to the internet.  The library subscribes to over twenty periodicals and journals, both local and international newspapers, and has a well stocked reference facility which includes many dictionaries, thesaurus, encyclopedia, atlases and general information books.

The library system uses the 'Alice' for Windows library automation package. Pupils simply present their library card to be scanned into the computer and it is tracked automatically. Pupils may borrow up to eight books for a three week period and can renew these as necessary. They also may reserve all media and are notified when their choice becomes available. Back copies of periodicals may be borrowed for a one week period. Videos and audio tapes may be reserved and taken out over the weekend.
