Mataram, University of Mataram – UPA Library of the University of Mataram (Unram) received a visit from a team of assessor of the Directorate of Standardization and Accreditation of the National Library in the framework of the accreditation visitation of Unram UPA Library. The activity which took place at the Library Building on Friday (11/15) aims to verify and confirm the accreditation documents that have been uploaded as part of the library reaccreditation process.

This activity was attended by the assessor team from the Directorate of National Library Standardization and Accreditation, Mariyah, S.Sos., M.Hum and Anggun Kusuma Tri Utami, S.IPI. who were in charge of verifying and assessing documents. In addition, from the Unram side, the Rector of Unram, Prof. Ir. Bambang Hari Kusumo, M.Agr.St., Ph.D.; the Vice Rector; Head of Bureau; Head of LPMPP; Postgraduate Director; Head of UPA Library; and library staff were also present.

On this occasion, the Rector of Unram, Prof. Bambang, expressed his welcome and gratitude for the arrival of the assessor team. In his speech, he expressed his hope that the Unram library could improve the quality of the library as a high standard information resource center.

“Library is the heart of an university. We hope that we continue to improve the quality so that the library can provide the best and comfortable services for students,” he said.

In line with this, a team of assessor from the Directorate of National Library Standardization and Accreditation chaired by Mariyah, S.Sos., M.Hum. gave the same opinion.

“I agree with what the Rector said earlier, that all students who come to the library must be comfortable and fully facilitated. The library must be able to network with outside parties so that they can exchange data,” she said.

She added that today’s activity was aimed at verifying documents that had been uploaded previously.

“Our arrival here is only to verify or confirm whether the documents that have been uploaded are correct and appropriate. To be able to find out how good and in accordance with the uploaded material. And later whether it is still consistent until now with A accreditation,” she continued.

It is hoped that the results of this visitation will make a positive contribution to improving the quality of the Unram library and strengthening its strategic role in supporting education, research and community service.
