UIN Jakarta Library, News Online, September 04, 2024 - Still in the activities of Introduction to Academic and Student Culture (PBAK) 2024, the State Islamic University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta Library continues to innovate in facilitating access to academic information for students. On Tuesday (September 04, 2024), new students of the Faculty of Ushuluddin UIN Jakarta were introduced to a digital library platform, called “Touch & Go Mobile Library”. Guided directly by UIN Jakarta Librarians, Mudianah Mahmud and Nuryadi Fasah, who explained the benefits and how to use the application.

“Touch & Go Mobile Library” is a digital library application that allows students to access a collection of books, journals, and other academic resources directly from their hands. With this app, students can search, borrow, and read the various literature they need anytime and anywhere.

“The library is now at your fingertips. No more excuses for not doing academic work, let alone not graduating,” said Mudianah Mahmud in her presentation. She added that the app is designed to make it easier for students, especially those who often have difficulty accessing physical books or are far from campus.

“There are two ways to access this 'Touch & Go Mobile Library',” said Mudianah in her explanation. “First, through the Google Play Store, where users can download the app directly to their Android devices. Secondly, through Windows, which allows access through a desktop or browser application, providing flexibility for users to enjoy this service on computer devices.”

Nuryadi Fasah, on the same occasion, explained the excellent features of the “Touch & Go Mobile Library”. This application is equipped with various conveniences such as quick search, offline reading, and integration with various devices. “We want to ensure that Ushuluddin students, and UIN Jakarta students in general, have quick and easy access to the academic resources they need to support their studies,” he said.

With the convenience offered, this application can be a solution to the various challenges that students often face in finding academic references. However, the success of using this application still depends on students' awareness and ability to utilize this technology to the optimal.

This activity was attended by all new students of the Faculty of Ushuluddin for the 2024/2025 academic year, which was divided into nine sessions every day, until September 13, 2024. Various materials, ranging from the introduction to the use of libraries, online catalogs (OPAC), access to e-resources, to references management tools. In addition to the presentation of material that will be delivered by UIN Jakarta Librarians, new students are immediately practiced on how to use it.
