Dār Nāshirī lil-Nashr al-iliktrūnī

Dār Nāshirī lil-Nashr al-iliktrūnī (Nashiri Electronic Publishing House) is a Kuwait-based, free and non-profit Arabic electronic publishing house and digital library. According to its own about page, it was founded on 4 July 2003 and registered with the Kuwait National Library under deposit number 2008/306-4. It describes itself as the first free, non-profit Arab publishing house and electronic library, offering e-books, articles and scholarly research across many fields of knowledge, with all publications available free of charge and many exclusively through Nashiri. The house's stated vision is "a world and knowledge without paper" (عالم و علم بلا ورق), and its mission is to be a free electronic publishing house and library accessible to all Arabic-language readers at all times. It also aims to ease the publication of creative works that face difficulties in traditional paper publishing, and hopes to advance a practical, pioneering alternative to paper publishing. The name "Nashiri" uses the first-person possessive yāʾ, meaning "my publisher" — the idea being that every intellectual can claim their own publisher and every reader can have a publisher that serves their reading and cultural needs. Nashiri's cultural products include contributions such as articles, poems and short stories, displayed on the site's homepage and browsable by author name or chronological archive, as well as e-books. The platform has received several recognitions, including an encouragement letter from the Kuwaiti Minister of Information in November 2003, a special appreciation award from the Ghiras Electro 2 competition in June 2005, a win in the fifth Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah Internet competition in November 2005, registration with the Kuwait National Library in June 2008, an honour from the Amir of Kuwait in April 2009 for winning best website in the arts and literature category in the Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah Informatics competition, and a win in the Boubyan Bank competition for volunteer projects in June 2014. As a non-profit digital publisher, Nashiri occupies a distinct niche in the Arabic-language publishing landscape, providing free access to literary and scholarly content and promoting electronic publishing as an alternative to traditional print. It remains active and continues to publish articles, studies and books on its website.
