Design of a Web-Based Book Collection Management Information System at Universitas Sains Indonesia

Abstract

The increasing demand for efficient library resource management has prompted Universitas Sains Indonesia to improve the way book collections are organized and documented. Accurate data on book availability and quantity is not only essential for day-to-day library operations but also plays a significant role in supporting academic departments during accreditation processes, where detailed reports on available study resources are often required. This study aims to design a web-based book collection management information system for the university library. The system is intended to simplify the management of book data, including recording, categorizing, and tracking the quantity of collections by program or department. Additionally, it provides structured and centralized access to collection data, enabling academic programs to retrieve the information needed for accreditation reports quickly and accurately. Data for this study were gathered through interviews with library staff and academic administrators, as well as through a literature review on library information systems and web-based technology development. The resulting system design includes core features such as book data management, classification by academic program, and reporting tools tailored for institutional needs. It is expected that the implementation of this system will enhance the library’s operational efficiency and provide strategic support to the university’s accreditation process.
