Library Innovations in Realizing the Smart Campus Transformation at Universitas Islam Negeri Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung

الملخص

The UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Library has currently implemented smart campus technology, which is one of its innovations and has brought about major changes to library services. This study aims to identify the forms of innovation carried out by the library to realize smart campus-based service changes, as well as the obstacles and efforts faced by the library in implementing service transformation in the digital era. A descriptive qualitative method was applied in this study to collect data through direct observation, semi-structured interviews with three informants (the head librarian, librarian, and information technology coordinator), and documentation. Miles and Huberman's theory was used to analyze the data by classifying the data, presenting the data, and verifying the conclusions, as well as validating the data through triangulation of data sources. The findings obtained from the innovations carried out by the UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung library to create a smart campus transformation are online-based and directly integrated with SLiMS and RFID, collaboration and sharing between librarians, organizing seminars, and designing library rooms. Another aspect of innovation uses Diao Ai Lien's Theory: Transformation of functions, facilities, and human resources (librarians). However, the existing constraints are that the transformation of the UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah library based on the Smart Campus has not yet been fully implemented, due to frequent server errors, limited access to the Smart Campus, insufficient IT resources, and limitations of librarians. Therefore, it is recommended to add a direct notification feature on mobile devices.
