This study aims to analyze the reality of the Central Library at the Northern Technical University, by identifying the organizational structure of the library, its departments and units. It also seeks to identify the services, technologies and innovative systems used in the library. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach to study the Central Library at the Northern Technical University in Nineveh Governorate. The study reached several important results, most notably: Despite the modernity of the Central Library at the Northern Technical University in Nineveh Governorate, it was able to provide electronic services and activities supported by the Internet. The library has a rich and diverse collection of information sources, totaling 9747 traditional and electronic sources. The library also provides its services to a wide segment of beneficiaries, with a number of 8282 beneficiaries. Among the most important proposals concluded by the study: Allocating an independent budget to support information sources in the Central Library of the Northern Technical University: It is necessary to provide diverse and modern information sources to support academic and research programs, by allocating an independent budget that allows the library to purchase the required materials without the need to rely on external or limited sources.
