This study used an explanatory survey as a method with a questionnaire as an instrument. This survey collected 93 respondents as a sample from visitors to the Indonesian University of Education library registered as a population. The results showed that the Point of Purchase communication media utilized by the Indonesian University of Education library are leaflets, booklet, poster,X-banner, hanging mobile, table tent.

In addition, table tents and hanging mobile are media that influence visitors in using library collections and services. Meanwhile, booklets, posters, and shelf talkers do not make users use library services
Analysis of Online Accessibility of Public Access Catalogue on Slims and Inlislite Applications Based on WCAG 2.0
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the level of OPAC accessibility in SLiMS and INLISLite applications. Four main guidelines on website accessibility will be analyzed: perceivable, operable, adaptable, and robust. The four guidelines are based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods and data analysis techniques using manual checks based on the WCAG-EM guidelines, which focus on two levels, namely A and AA. The results of the study based on four indicators are (1) perceivable on SLiMS and INLISLite experiencing problems in providing alternative text, (2) operable on SLiMS and INLISLite found problems in the focus element, (3) understandable on SLiMS and INLISLite fail to meet the criteria for providing language, and (4) robust, both applications have succeeded in utilizing HTML syntax according to the provisions. Thus, from the four indicators, the SLiMS and INLISLite applications still need to meet several criteria at level A, namely the criteria for using language, using color, and providing alternative text on non-text elements. Meanwhile, at level AA, there is a failure in the focus element.This study aims to determine the accessibility level of OPAC in the SLiMS and INLISLite applications. Four main guidelines on aspects of website accessibility will be analyzed: perceivable, operable, adaptable, and robust.

This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods and data analysis techniques using manual checks based on the WCAG-EM guidelines focusing on two levels, A and AA. The results of the research based on four indicators are (1) perceivable in SLiMS and INLISLite experiencing problems in providing alternative texts, (2) operable in SLiMS and INLISLite found problems with focus elements, (3) understandable in SLiMS and INLISLite failing to meet the criteria for providing language, and (4) robust, both applications have succeeded in utilizing HTML syntax according to the provisions. So, of the four indicators, the SLiMS and INLISLite applications still need to meet several criteria at level A, namely the criteria for using language, using colour, and providing alternative text on non-text elements.

Information Literacy of First-Year Undergraduates Across Disciplines - Engineering, Architecture, and Information Technology
Full text linkThe literature suggests that students commence university education with limited levels of IL, and this is true for both developed and developing countries. When universities understand entry-level students’ actual level of IL at the beginning of their undergraduate programmes, universities can objectively describe entry-level undergraduates’ IL levels and take steps to improve the levels to match with required revels for academic success. The purpose of the study was to investigate the information literacy of first-year undergraduates of engineering, architecture, and information technology disciplines when they commence their university education, and whether socio-demographic characteristics are associated with the information literacy of first-year undergraduates. 545 first-year undergraduates covering the three study disciplines responded to the survey questionnaire. Quantitative methods were used to analyse the data. Findings revealed that although information literacy exists in undergraduates to a certain extent, these vary by the discipline of study. The findings imply the need of addressing information literacy requirements by the discipline of the study to better serve undergraduates. Overall, the results lead to understanding information skills and behaviour of entry-level undergraduates, and what kinds of library services are appropriate and necessary for undergraduates across disciplines
Bibliometric Analysis of Paper Publication for Artificial Intelligence on Librarianship System with Full and Fractional Method
Full text linkKnowing the bibliometric analysis of AI publications in the librarian system will be a great research opportunity because its development is very high. On the other hand, we can solve the convenience of current bibliometric analysis with bibliometric network applications, such as VOSViewer. However, the calculation is presented with two options, complete and fractional, for analysis. The bibliometric method is used to analyze the trend from time to time regarding AI in this library. The study uses Scopus to get data and VOSViewer to analyze, accompanied by trials with full and fractional methods. Through a restricted search of the past five years. AI has relevance to Librarianship Systems and trends in Digital Libraries. Then, it is found that there are differences in the calculation of the total and fractional methods that stand out in the bibliographic coupling approach. The development of AI in the librarian system is very high and is influenced by surrounding phenomena, while the choice of whole and fractional methods is not found to have absolute differences
