Transformation of conventional libraries into digital

Abstract

This research uses the library of the Faculty of Engineering, Muhammadiyah University, Jakarta as a case study. Conventional mode interactions make students face limitations in accessing references due to limited visiting time, manual searches, and limited published information for available, unavailable, or borrowed items. This research aims to make it easier for students to access the library of the Faculty of Engineering, Muhammadiyah University of Jakarta and find reference books or journals that they need in the library more easily, flexibly without time, space and distance limitations. SDLC methodology with a waterfall model was chosen for e-library development to change conventional interactions into digital. Preliminary tests have been carried out through questionnaires to evaluate interactions in the library compared to conventional interactions. A total of fifty students were involved in learning, and were asked whether reference books and journals in the library helped them in doing the assignments given. The result
5.4% of students responded can help and 94.6% said no.
