| dc.description.abstract | The use of information technology encourages libraries to transform
through automation systems, one of which is the INLISLite application. The
Department of Library and Archives of Karo Regency has implemented this
system since 2018 to support library management and services. This final
project aims to examine the utilization of the INLISLite library automation
system and to analyze the challenges faced in its implementation at the Department
of Library and Archives of Karo Regency. This study employs a descriptive
method, with data collection techniques including literature review, observation,
interviews, and documentation. The results show that the Department of Library
and Archives of Karo Regency has implemented the INLISLite library
automation system version 3.2. The system is utilized in key aspects such as
improving access to collections and information, facilitating catalog creation,
enhancing circulation services, simplifying collection searches through the
catalog, improving librarian work efficiency, expanding service reach, and
easing collection management and monitoring. This utilization has
positively impacted both the efficiency of librarian work and the quality of
services provided to users. However, several challenges remain, including limited
human resources in technical areas, lack of training, suboptimal use of all system
modules, and infrastructure limitations such as a LAN-based server, which
prevents online access to the system. Despite these limitations, the use of the
INLISLite library automation system at the Department of Library and Archives
of Karo Regency has provided greater ease and speed in managing library
materials compared to the previous manual system. Although access is still LAN
based and the library has not yet joined a union catalog, INLISLite has
significant potential for further development to expand service coverage
and strengthen interlibrary connectivity. | en_US |
