Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-Welcoming the change in status to PTN-BH, the State University of Surabaya (UNESA) is transforming in various aspects, one of which is the Library Technical Implementation Unit which is slowly maximizing digital library services.
Mutty Hariyati, S.Sos., from UPT Library stated that digital libraries are not completely digital. However, recently, his party has added thousands of digital literature collections that can be accessed digitally.
"On the one hand, we have a lot of printed collections that can be used directly in the library and on the other hand we also continue to add 2,281 digital literature collections," he explained.
According to him, the transformation of digital libraries is a demand of the current era, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic which makes access to services physically limited, requiring service management to accommodate this situation.
"This is in addition to demands for progress, but also demands for work patterns and library services during the pandemic. For those who cannot directly visit the library, they can still access services digitally. That way, learning, teaching and other academic activities are not hampered," he explained.
The library's digital collection includes books or e-books, journals and various other related literature. Digital collections in certain categories are only intended for the entire UNESA academic community.
Meanwhile, other collections such as scientific works stored in the repository can be enjoyed by the general public. The collection of scientific works includes final assignments, theses, theses and dissertations.
He added that the UPT Library in addition to continuing to add digital collections, also plans to digitize physical collections in the library. "Later on, the books in the library will be made into digital versions like that," he explained.
Some of these library services are connected to the collection of scientific works of the academic community that are uploaded independently on Digilib and the OPAC service. The OPAC service can also be enjoyed by the general public, which contains a collection of books from the central library as well as the faculty library.
There are also important links that are directly connected to Ristekdikti Summon, Indonesian Learning House, Indonesia OneSearch, National Library Membership, Unesa Online Learning (Vinesa) and even National Library Digital Collection. Access the digital library, you can directly visit the https://library.unesa.ac.id/ page. All terms of service are contained on this page. [UNESA PR]
