Al-Rafid Index for the Year 2013

Abstract

This item presents a bibliographic index of Al-Rafid magazine for the year 2013, prepared by the Content Department of the Sharjah Department of Culture and Information to facilitate access to the materials published in the magazine throughout the year. The index consists of two main parts: a title index, which arranges items by their titles and provides publication and page references, and a subject index, which enables thematic retrieval through broad subject entries. The item reflects the diversity of Al-Rafid’s cultural content, covering literature, arts, language, heritage, science, thought, history, society, and general cultural affairs. It serves as an important bibliographic control tool for researchers, readers, and libraries by supporting the tracking of the magazine’s annual intellectual output and enabling access to its articles, studies, interviews, and cultural materials. Its value lies in combining title-based arrangement with subject-based retrieval, making the content of a cultural periodical more searchable, usable, and accessible.
