Abstract

Technology in libraries has played an essential role in serving today’s communities. This study provides an overview of the integrated library systems/software (ILSs) used in libraries in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It aims to highlight the strengths and possibilities of ILSs and briefly explain their advantages and disadvantages along with the cost of implementation. The data was gathered from questionnaires sent via an online survey and from direct interviews with certain academic libraries over the period of 2019 to 2020. Fifty-three of 67 libraries that fulfilled the study have implemented an ILS. To deeply understand the application, a direct interview with some libraries was conducted to learn the advantages and disadvantages. The result of the study showed that the most used ILSs are SLiMS and INLISlite and other programs like Apollo, Athenium Light, Simpus, Spektra, Jibas, KOHA, and Openlibrary. The budget spent is an average of 300 USD. While the ILSs have helped these libraries improve services, IT expertise and adequate resources are needed, especially when the systems present problems. An easy-to-use system that costs less will potentially be used in this area of research. This study will be particularly helpful for any library in Indonesia. These findings may also be generalized to libraries in other countries facing economic and technological similarities.
南苏拉威西省图书馆图书馆自动化系统概述
图书馆技术在服务当今社会方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究概述了印度尼西亚南苏拉威西省图书馆使用的综合图书馆系统/软件(ILS)。研究旨在强调 ILS 的优势和可能性,并简要说明其优缺点以及实施成本。数据来自 2019 年至 2020 年期间通过在线调查发送的问卷和对某些学术图书馆的直接访谈。在完成研究的 67 家图书馆中,有 53 家已经实施了 ILS。为深入了解应用情况,对部分图书馆进行了直接访谈,以了解其优缺点。研究结果表明,使用最多的 ILS 是 SLiMS 和 INLISlite,其他程序包括 Apollo、Athenium Light、Simpus、Spektra、Jibas、KOHA 和 Openlibrary。所花费的预算平均为 300 美元。虽然 ILS 帮助这些图书馆改善了服务,但仍需要 IT 专业技术和充足的资源,尤其是在系统出现问题时。成本较低且易于使用的系统将有可能用于这一领域的研究。这项研究对印度尼西亚的任何图书馆都特别有帮助。这些研究结果也可以推广到面临经济和技术相似性的其他国家的图书馆。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
