Library Users' Perceptions of the Spatial Layout and Ergonomics of College Libraries in Pekanbaru
College libraries not only function as information collection centers, but also as learning spaces and academic interactions that require physical comfort for users. This study aims to analyze user perceptions of library layout and ergonomics and examine the influence of both aspects on user comfort in universities in Pekanbaru City. The study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive-explanatory type. The survey method was employed by distributing structured questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale to 100 active users of the Library Units of Universitas Riau, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau, and Universitas Lancang Kuning. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression using SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that in general, users have a positive perception of the library layout and ergonomics, although there are still critical notes on the aspects of acoustics, room zoning, and facility comfort for long-term use. The results of the regression test indicate that layout and ergonomics simultaneously have a significant effect on user comfort. Partially, both variables also have a positive effect, with layout as the most dominant factor. This research provides practical benefits as a basis for consideration for library managers in designing and improving the quality of the physical environment that is oriented towards user needs. Furthermore, this research contributes academically to enriching empirical studies on the spatial design and ergonomics of university libraries in Indonesia.

Analyzing the Determinants of Students’ Reading Interest in the CANDIL Digital Library Application
This study aims to explore how students' psychological needs, namely autonomy, competence, and relatedness, can be met or hindered in using the CANDIL (Maca Dina Digital Library) application, using the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) approach. The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed that the autonomy aspect tends to be fulfilled even though it is limited by the variety of collections, the competence aspect is still constrained by features that -are confusing for some students who use the CANDIL. It can also be seen that the relatedness aspect is still not maximized due to the lack of interaction space between users. In conclusion, although the CANDIL application has provided easy access and some support for reading interest for students using the CANDIL, the fulfillment of the three psychological needs has not been maximized. This shows that strategies to increase interest in reading in the digital era do not simply rely on adequate technology, but must also consider psychological or motivational factors that can affect the experience and increase interest in reading for users.

The Contribution GPAN Community (Gerakan Perpustakaan Anak Nusantara) to Increase Public Interest in Reading
This study aims to analyze the Lapak Baca activities organized by the Gerakan Perpustakaan Anak Nusantara (GPAN) Regional Tulungagung community in increasing the reading interest of visitors to Alun-Alun Tulungagung. Reading interest in Indonesia is relatively low, and initiatives such as Lapak Baca are an alternative to bring literacy closer to the community in a more inclusive way. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the meaning of the experiences of volunteers and visitors to the activity. Data collection techniques include participant observation, structured interviews, and documentation. Informants consist of GPAN members and Lapak Baca visitors. The results of the study show that Lapak Baca activities create an inclusive space that encourages active community involvement in literacy activities. Children feel free to choose reading material, while volunteers feel they have an important role in educating the community. In addition, internal and external factors were found that influence reading interest, such as personal motivation, environmental support, and the availability of interesting reading materials. The obstacles faced include limited book collections and physical facilities of Lapak Baca. This study provides theoretical benefits in enriching community-based literacy studies as well as practical benefits as material for evaluating and developing the Lapak Baca program by GPAN and related parties. It is hoped that these results can be a reference for similar literacy initiatives in other areas.

Emotional Intelligence of Librarians in Serving Users at the Library of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara
Emotional intelligence is a crucial aspect in enhancing the quality and supporting the effectiveness of librarian services to library users in academic libraries. In the university library environment, interactions between librarians and users are not solely related to the technical aspects of information retrieval but also to the social and emotional dynamics that play a role in creating a positive user experience. This study aims to examine the strategies employed by librarians in utilizing their emotional intelligence to serve users and to identify the challenges they face in applying emotional intelligence in their service delivery at the University of Muhammadiyah North Sumatra Library. This research adopts a descriptive approach to provide an overview of the conditions or phenomena observed. The methodology employed is a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and literature review. The findings from interviews with four informants indicate that librarians with high emotional intelligence are better able to communicate empathetically, assist users more effectively in information retrieval, and provide a more positive service experience for users. The implications of this study underscore the importance of training and developing emotional intelligence among librarians as part of a strategy to enhance the quality of library services.

Pemanfaatan Koleksi Corner di Perpustakaan Universitas Muhammadiah Sumatera Utara
The Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra Library has several corner services that aim to enrich the global insight and literacy of academicians. These services include BI Corner, Thailand Corner, Japan Corner, French Corner, Indian Corner, and Chinese Corner. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the collection available in these corner services is utilized by users, especially students. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through direct observation at the corner service location of the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra Library. In addition, the author also conducted in-depth interviews with a librarian who understands in detail the management and function of corner services, as well as two users who routinely visit and use these services. To support data validity, the author also documented various activities related to the use of corner services during the research process. The results of the study show that students have utilized the collections available in each corner, both for academic needs and as additional sources of information about their respective cultures and countries. However, there are several obstacles faced by the users. One of them is that the collections available in several corners are not yet completely complete and are still limited, thus limiting the space for information exploration. In addition, the lack of promotion and socialization carried out by the library regarding the existence and benefits of corner services is also a inhibiting factor in optimizing the utilization of these collections. Therefore, it is recommended that the library add relevant collections and improve promotional strategies so that corner services are better known and utilized optimally by the entire academic community.

The Relevance of Conventional Reference Services in the Digital Age: A Case Study of the Library of Univeristas Perintis Indonesia
In the midst of the rapid development of information technology, libraries are required to transform in providing information services. However, conventional services based on printed collections still have an important role, especially in supporting specific and in-depth reference needs. This study aims to examine the existence and relevance of conventional reference services that are still organized at the Library of Universitas Perintis Indonesia. The method used was qualitative research with a field study approach through direct observation and interviews with reference librarians. The results showed that printed collections such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, and directories are still actively used, especially by final year students and lecturers who need valid references in scientific writing. The main challenges faced are the limited budget for collection renewal and the lack of user understanding of the benefits of printed collections. However, these services have the opportunity to continue to be relevant if integrated with digital approaches and the promotion of information literacy. This research confirms that conventional services do not lose relevance, but need to be adapted to the dynamics of user needs in the digital era.

This study was conducted using a literature review of publications on green archives over the past decade from the Google Scholar database. The word "green archives" was used as a keyword to search for relevant publications. Then the researcher used VOSviewer to conduct a bibliometric analysis. Research on Green Archives shows interesting and worrying dynamics. There has been a decrease in the quantity of publications, but these studies have shown significant academic impacts. The results of the analysis suggest that research related to the concept of "green archives" as a comprehensive and integrated approach is still minimal or has not been adequately explored. In fact, the concept of green archives has good potential as an innovative approach to environmentally friendly archive management.

Evaluating the Al-Alamanah Islamic School Library Using the GOEM Model: Effectiveness and Learning Implications
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the MA Al-Amanah Islamic School Library service using the Goal Oriented Evaluation Model (GOEM) approach developed by Ralph W. Tyler. This model was chosen because it emphasizes the achievement of goals as the main indicator of the success of a program. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method through observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers, librarians, and vice principals, and the distribution of open questionnaires to 30 students as respondents. The evaluation results show that the library has contributed significantly to the achievement of learning goals, especially in terms of improving student literacy, character building, and strengthening learning independence. Through the seven stages of the GOEM evaluation, an increase in learning motivation, discipline, and active involvement of students in utilizing library facilities was identified. Although there are still limitations in the support of psychomotor facilities and formal evaluation instruments, the library has functioned as an effective and adaptive learning space for students' information needs. This evaluation also shows the importance of developing digital services and improving librarian competence in assisting the learning process. Thus, the application of a goal-based evaluation model such as GOEM is not only relevant for assessing the effectiveness of services, but is also useful as a reflective tool in strategic planning for the development of school libraries in the future.
