“Moreover, Ertiqa digital library has been launched at a highly opportune time when demand for digital Arabic content has been on the rise, driven mainly by government-led initiatives in countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE that encourage and support the development of high quality and innovative Arabic digital content. It is also now a lot easier to access content from Ertiqa library with the emergence of advanced mobile devices and wide access to different communication channels, which provide flexible and innovative means of accessing and using digital Arabic content,” added Ward.
