We have to keep pace with this age of intellect, challenges, and rapid communications in order to be able to progress and not to become obsolete. Therefore, we have to give more importance to the activation of electronic communication, including electronic websites as one of its main pillars through which we can communicate and complete tasks with less time, effort, and cost from any place in the world.
Therefore, the importance of electronic websites becomes obvious especially the educational websites. The website of the Faculty of Arts is one of the important websites; it is the window through which we view the world to introduce ourselves, activities, and culture according to the quality standards. This is because we believe that any activity, especially the one concerning the faculty three functions/jobs; teaching, scientific research, and community service, should be documented through the website, otherwise, its impact would be limited to the place in which it was held.
Finally, I look forward mutual benefit through your suggestions and remarks through which we get the needed feedback for the purpose of constant development and improvement.
