1.  To connect all library digital items of local universities and centres together.
2. To build a research gate for Palestinian universities that is customizable with respect to different research aspects.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

PALIB considers the following objectives to be achieved when this project is deployed:

1. Enhancing the infrastructure of local libraries in Palestine, including libraries in universities and other society-based libraries.
2. Providing large-scale database for students and researchers.
3. Enhancing the ground of the research development in Palestine.
4. Providing a sustainable platform to incrementally increase the library items on the database.
5. Transforming the European experience on building such databases.

PALIB OUTPUTS:

1. Students can take advantage of the deployed portals to access books, library items, and journals using their own credentials.
2. Researchers will be able to build national-wise research network and take advantage of published journals and profile to easily access the research items.
3. open-to-join concept of this project is provided: any local library can join by applying the portal system design to their own systems.
4. resource sharing: universities benefit from each other.
5. the librarians and university staff will be supported with the required competencies by transforming the EU experience to them.
