Abstract : The aim of the study is to evaluate the two following Arabic thesauri: Thesaurus of Terminology in Library and Information Science and Al_Faisal Thesaurus. The study consist of two parts. The first part, a theoretical one deals with thesauri as tools for subject analysis, the various uses of thesauri in indexing and information retrieval the difference between thesauri and other works dealing with subject description language , especially lists headings, and phases of Arabic efforts in thesauri production and development. It also includes an explanation of articles of the Arab standard Specification (no. 578), on the preparation and development of monolingual thesauri. This specification has been used in this study as a criterion the evaluating the two thesauri. The study is carried out by comparing the article of the standard specification to see how far the two thesauri comply with all its articles. In particular part, the two thesauri have been put to actual usage with the purpose of achieving a practice evaluation. Thus a sample of (5702) documents was chosen, ascertaining that the sample reflects topic of the different forms and subject of documents as well as the chronological and geographical subdivisions. On applying the steps of subject analysis, stated in the Arab standard specification (no. 878), the study came up with number of conclusions, the most important conclusions are. The two thesauri do not comply with all the terms of the Arab Standard Specification for the preparation and development of Thesauri. Al_Faisal Thesauri was more competent in expressing the subject content of documents., and Al_Faisal Thesaurus adhered to the users language and vocabulary more than the Thesaurus of Terminology in Library and Information Science This was found to be attributed to the fact that Al_Faisal Thesaurus has been subjected to continuous updating and also because it followed the analytical method in collecting its material.
