Our students have access to the latest print and electronic materials in the field through the university's library.

As one of the region's premier libraries, the AUS Library is an outstanding facility that provides collections, services and programs to support the curricular and research needs of the entire university community. The majority of our library's rapidly growing physical collection of more than 140,000 items is in English; however, there are also materials available in Arabic.

Our students have access to an online catalog system that can be used to search for library materials from any location on or off campus. They can also access e-books, online databases, full-text journals and other digital resources.

Interpreting Laboratory The Master of Arts in English/Arabic /English Translation and Interpretation (MATI) program at AUS enjoys a fully functioning simultaneous interpreting lab. It is equipped with Tandberg conferencing equipment, the standard in the field. It features 11 single booths for simultaneous interpreting training and 10 points around a table for consecutive interpreting training. That setup can also be used to simulate conference events with principles seated at table and interpreters working in the booths. The lab is used for graduate classes in the MATI program and for one undergraduate class in community interpreting.
