Library of Fisipol UGM starting to add the library function as study, learning, experimental place, and discussion. This is so-called library as Learning Commons.

A period of in Sekip (ex. BPA)

Early when I beginning join forces with the library of Fisipol UGM in the early September 1994th, with the Underwriter Reply the Library was Wiyono DA, now he was retired. When I came in the first day work, myself has still confuse what I will do, till temporarily I am in placing at the shares circulations. In the reality in the shares circulations so very tire, with many of visitor which majority of student of Fisipol UGM, every day teh transaction loaning and returned can reach four hundreds of. And surely at that time its service not yet otomatizations with the computer system, was still manually. Costumer who will need some collections is use the catalogue box. While the computer is only for type the letter and data. Book, incoming journal and magazine registered in by general ledger, classified by using UDC, packing into spread sheet paper, afterwards packed into computer, using program CDS/ISI. It is very simple for all existing service, and surely for the activity of other like library promotion, worker of equal ushering library and wearer education is not conducted. Human Resource from amount facet have answered the demand but still less than quality facet, because there's only 2 librarians, 3 grad of library Diploma and 7 people of grad the similar of SLTA without library certificate. Faculty Manager also not yet supported full with the library existence. Possibility because library location are far away from faculty environment, become the library existence less be paid attention to. Faculty officer which is a period will be given the sanction in the form of work gyration or be change by another employee. Impressing library is place of exile or place for the penalization of. That is very regrettably, because library ought to in placing pre-eminent people who, what have a line on the library service.

At June 1999 underwriter commutation reply the library from Wiyono DA. to Endah Choiriyah, that make bringing a changes. The first actions from Endah in executing mass Validations by much more expense of quite a lot at the cost of service time close during a month. This represent the good achievement, because from the first existence the Library of Fisipol UGM in May 1967 have never been conducted by a enumeration repeat the library collections. A lot of missing collection , mowed, destroy and do not in wearing again not yet known its amount. With the existence of validations, becoming accurate and clearer about collection amount which is in owning library.

Certain period the nun of time, Endah get the duty bursary to the Magister, she replaced by e Priyo Dwi Abang Suranto on 2003 . Under leadership by Priyo library more go forward especially from Information Technology side, and the Dean very care with the library, so that facility raised to faculty always in aggreeing. Start this leadership is service system start the automation, by using software IBRA, the masterpiece of Priyo was assisted with its friends. All collection starting sticking on barcode. Membership, lender, return, lengthening, OPAC, ordered and other services have used the computer. Model the membership card and way of service also change, adapted by software weared. Not only that collections start the digitalisasikan, the result of research, journal in every period graduate always increase while storage capacities fall short, thesis some of copy and made by a digital collection. And so it is with other collections. Added again with the free student order [of] book for the condition of graduation is obliged to give soft file their /tesis to library. This add the digital collection amount. free installation Internet for the visitor of provided by 6 computer unit, computer for the searching of collections ( OPAC) 3 unit. Catalogue box have never been used by consumer. practical and Quicker consumer to search by the computer, and surely them can open by them self in faculty, because software IBRA base on the web become can be opening wherever, but whereas still be environmental of UGM, because still have the character of local.


Process The Library Transfer

At September 2007, Priyo replaced by Sri Rumani. Library still continued from Priyo’s programme. Till this moment library building ( Ex. BPA) will immediately used for the activity of administration and to study of entire Program of Magister Fisipol UGM. Because from the faculty not yet had the column which is last for accomodating all library content. At August 2008 library is moving and using the UPT of Library building of UGM Unit and has 1 space on 2nd floor, roominess of about 200m, while in building of ex. BPA was about 400m. During 5 month;moon reside in the 2nd floor, the room felt less and more wide, and seen to oppress and hot. Then the library is moving to the 3rd floor in the same building. In 3rd floor we have room about 400m, more wide, broader, and snugly to accomodate all library content, although still a lot of its weakness.

The Weakness of that room are take possession of column in 3rd floor, without existence of lift and also escalator, added by a too hot column, toilet for the consumer of is not made available, making library visitor are not forbear staying omit prolonging in library. They only borrow or bringing back direct go out. Realizing the circumstance of the room, we are as organizer of library of Fisipol UGM, feel concerned, this represent the problem which must be immediately finished. We think and discuses to take the correct solution to finish this problem. in the reality faculty manager have a good response, and direct them take the decision for make the better library. Then 8 units Air Condition immediately to conduciving this room, this have lessened to feel the existing heat, and make more comfortable for the visitor and worker. Assessed with attached by Air Condition still less , hence faculty manager discuse with us and interior expert, utilize to create the library place become the place which more than library place as usual.

Library will be more functioned than just for study, learning, experiment and discussion. With the expense by lector, library interior is adding and altered. Chairs and desk that older is changed with the circular sofa for the discussion of, and give the widescreen TV by various world channel because various reason is later then changed with the projector board for the studying of presentation and. Spotlight, accessories of wall and plafond making prettier column and respected. Circular counter for the customer service is using like in the hotel and bank. We more satisfy with the attention from faculty, with the support of faculty manager which is enthusiastic so with the library, all officer always giving the motivation to go forward, to more to innovating, because we have been long wanted to make a move, wish to innovate but without support from our faculty manager. But now we more expressing to the the idea that we have, we perform a various activity of like to analize the book, training of software Senayan, ally is library promotion. Grateful in the reality the activity can be told by success with the enthusiast amount which is quite a lot. Till we earn the appreciation from faculty when event of Syawalan as shares innovated.

The appreciation make we pride, and hopefully do not make become dozed for us, but that more motivated for more improving of our service by performing a better activity and more innovating.
