and scientific caches covering a variety of disciplines and areas of interest for readers of all categories

Library, Children’s Stories Library, Sustainable Development Library, Arabic Language Library, etc.

Unified digital repository for Dubai Government and its departments

The DKHoffers a centralized digital repository, which includes all the digital knowledge outputs
generated by more than 25 government organizations and departments in Dubai. It acts as a
comprehensive collection portal of annual reports, guidelines, and yearbooks produced by these
institutions, ultimately reducing the cost of creating a separate digital repository. Through these efforts,
the platform contributes towards the conservation and maintenance services for the digital memory of
these entities without any additional costs. It furtherenables the Dubai Government to reduce extra
expenditure and effectively leverage available resources, resulting in enhanced efficiency and
productivity that save time and effort. Besides, it aids users to seamlessly explore various digital
content of these institutions and the government while accessing it through global search engines.
Through this move, the hub will be able to boost the presence of these institutions in the digital space
and raise their contributions to various content in the digital landscape.
