At the conclusion of the symposium, the participants stressed that the Arab library still suffers from a clear shortage of modern works that track the transformations in Orientalist studies in recent decades. They affirmed the importance of refocusing attention on the new contributions for the perspectives and methodologies they offer, which differ from the traditional approaches that prevailed in past centuries
