Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
The academic journey is a journey full of colors and challenges. With all humility, the Library of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, wants to be part of that academic journey. We believe that a library is not just a building; it is the heart of an academic space where we must be an active and contributive part in every collaboration and intellectual interaction among librarians, students, lecturers, researchers, and the entire university academic community.
With the rapid development of information technology, the library is no longer just a place to store physical books. The concept of “Library Every Space” comes as a form of innovation to make the library more inclusive and accessible to the academic community of UIN Jakarta, anytime and anywhere. Library Every Space refers to the transformation of digital libraries that are not limited to physical spaces, but rather extend to public spaces, UIN Jakarta community environments, and digital platforms. The ultimate goal is to ensure that every individual of the academic community, without geographical restrictions, can access the knowledge and information needed.
We, the UIN Jakarta Library Team, are dedicated to being the main driver in facilitating library users in utilizing the available information resources, as well as helping the academic community prepare the skills needed in academic activities and become independent learners.
To realize the academic atmosphere at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, the library strives to be the first choice, a place for the academic community in research and learning. In the library, students, lecturers, and researchers can jointly explore the world of knowledge, find the necessary sources of information, and support the growth of critical and innovative thinking. In addition, we not only provide access to a diverse collection of print and digital resources, but also provide support in equipping academic skills such as reading, writing, research, and understanding information effectively for the entire academic community. Like an academic exhibition hall and gallery, through the library, inspiring works of scholarship, research, and art are displayed that reflect academic achievement, and become a place to celebrate the creativity of every individual in the academic environment.
We recognize that in each of these roles, libraries can be the bridge that connects people to knowledge, provides a platform for intellectual growth, and encourages collaboration between individuals in the production of knowledge and creating new innovations. Libraries are not just places to find information, they are places where the growth of knowledge, skills and intellectual exploration takes place. We are determined to continue supporting academic development, collaboration and innovation for the entire university community. Our commitment is that the library is more than just a collection of books or information resources, but a partner to the academic community in an enjoyable and productive academic journey.
Thank you for your support and participation in building a library into a dynamic and inclusive academic center for all. Let us together realize UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta Library as an inspiring place for the growth of knowledge, creativity and innovation.
Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
