Egyptian Knowledge Bank

This platform provides access to a broad range of electronic resources.

The Egyptian Knowledge Bank, launched in 2016, provides all Egyptian citizens and AUC non-Egyptian faculty/students with online access to quality research and educational resources (eBooks, periodicals and media) nationwide. The EKB includes a number of our previously subscribed databases, as well as providing new resources to the AUC community. Access problems regarding the latter should be reported to the library via the  E-resources Problem Form.

The previously subscribed databases are currently accessible through our AUC Database A-Z list and marked accordingly.
