UB Library won third place in the East Java Academic Library Innovation Award (EVALIA) organized by the East Java FPPTI (Indonesian State University Library Forum).
In this category, the first and second place winners were won by Ciputra University and Widya Mandala Catholic University.
During the pandemic there were several innovations that have been implemented by libraries, namely online book lending, free online libraries, online submission of final assignments, access to e-books and e-journals using SSO RemoteXs, online information literacy training, file repository request services, social media and WA hotline.
“During this pandemic, the role of libraries as a center of information and knowledge for the community must continue to run as before the pandemic. Librarians are required to explore various things related to information sources, services, and strategies in order to meet the needs and satisfy the librarians, “said the Head of the Library, Johan C Noor.
EVALA (East Java Academic Librarian Award) and EVALIA (East Java Academic Librarian Innovation Award) have been held since 2017.
