Masader Oman

Masader provides seamless and affordable access to a wealth of global research material. The virtual library is designed to empower the research activities of academics, university students, and other public and private sector researchers. Nations that give strong priority to scientific research are invariably leaders in an increasingly competitive world. Facilitating access to global research resources is essential for Oman to be globally connected and evolve towards a competitive knowledge-based economy. Masader connects Oman's academic community to some of the finest digital resources in the world, contributing to vital research activities across the Sultanate. It is available to universities, technical colleges, and other Oman-based institutions engaged in education and scientific research through their membership of OMREN (Oman Research and Education Network). Material is drawn from the world's great libraries, content aggregators, and publishers, with all resources accessible from a single entry point. More than just a means of collating electronic resources – from full-text materials to databases, media, and catalogues – Masader also provides user assistance such as training and technical assistance.
