The closures of universities, community colleges, academic libraries, and institutes forced them to conduct distance services. Using modern technologies and special platforms for the continuity of providing services.

The interdisciplinary of many subjects in this research and its originality embody its theoretical significance. In the Arab region, till the time of writing this proposal, there are a few studies discussed this topic due to the short period of COVID-19 start point; some studies were found investigating this issue but with a narrow scope, thus the current study will enrich the knowledge of librarianship and higher education institutions.
