Abstract

The study defined the mobile phone applications in terms of their origin, configuration requirements, and various use in libraries around the world, especially museum libraries. The checklist was used to evaluate these applications, and this list has been divided into twelve sections, each section dealing with a specific aspect of evaluating these applications to learn about their origin, design, characteristics, functions, and services provided through them. The study aimed to prepare the first Arabic mobile application to introduce the libraries of archaeological museums in Greater Cairo and link them to each other and help the beneficiary to access their holdings. Museum libraries were chosen because of their importance which comes from the importance of museums themselves as institutions for preserving heritage and artworks of archaeological value. The descriptive and analytical approach was used to collect and analyze data related to the objectives of the study and thus to identify the extent of the ability of archaeological museum libraries to prepare these applications and the extent to which the beneficiaries accept this new application based on a questionnaire prepared by the researcher to find out its strengths and weaknesses.
