Some online catalogues allow displaying bibliographic records in MARC format, whatever the script.

See, for example,

- Bibliotheca alexandrina's BA catalog http://www.bibalex.org or

http://cwg.bibalex.org/cgi-bin/gw_42_20/chameleon?skin=default&lng=ar

- United Arab Emirates University Libraries. Catalog

http://library.uaeu.ac.ae/search

- King Abdul Aziz University Library, Djeddah. Online catalog

http://www.kaau.edu.sa/libraries/index.html

Here is a complement to Marie-Genevieve Guesdon's e-mail: on the auteursarabes website, which is accessible to subscribers of the auteursarabes listserv, you can access a list of more than 100 bookmarks, among them a number of catalogues including Arabic script elements or records.

Dear Collegues,

Do you know of any work that has been done to establish Arabic MARC as a standard for Arabic cataloging?

Thank you
