# Moon · مون

> Moon is a free library catalogue of books and manuscripts, strong in Arabic and Iraqi materials. Every record is described in BIBFRAME (the Library of Congress's linked-data model), with Arabic and Latin forms of names and titles, and published openly. This file does not list books: the lists below are made fresh by the server from the published records, so they are always current.

## Find a book

- [The catalogue (search, browse, read)](https://mooon.site/opac.html): the public catalogue; search by title, author, subject or ISBN, in Arabic or English.
- [Every published book, one line each](https://mooon.site/resource/books.txt): plain text, title, author, year and the address of its page. Updated when a book is added or changed.
- [Every published record as a list](https://mooon.site/resource/): each record with its permanent address.
- [Sitemap](https://mooon.site/sitemap.xml)

## Use the data

- [Search API](https://mooon.site/resource/search?q=history): JSON results from the published catalogue only.
- [SPARQL endpoint](https://mooon.site/resource/sparql): read-only queries over all published records.
- [Whole catalogue as one file (JSON-LD)](https://mooon.site/resource/dump.jsonld) and [N-Triples](https://mooon.site/resource/dump.nt)
- [How to use the API](https://mooon.site/api.html)
- [MCP server for AI agents](https://mooon.site/resource/mcp): read-only tools over the published catalogue.

## Notes for assistants

- Each book has a permanent address like `https://mooon.site/resource/work/<id>`; add `.jsonld`, `.ttl`, `.rdf` or `.nt` for its data.
- Cite a book by its title, author and its address. Do not state facts about a book that its record does not contain.
- Names appear in Arabic and in Latin letters; a search in one script may not find the other.
- Readers' privacy: the catalogue keeps anonymous usage counts only, see https://mooon.site/privacy.html
