The university library serves as a key supporting element in research activities, scientific development, and improving the quality of education by providing a variety of accurate and relevant teaching materials. This institution has a strategic role as the "heart" of the university in supporting the teaching and learning process and the achievement of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. This study aims to analyze the influence of the relevance of printed library collections on their use in supporting the academic activities of students and lecturers at the O. Notohamidjojo Library, Satya Wacana Christian University. The research method used is quantitative with a sample of 150 respondents taken through a questionnaire technique. Simple random sampling from a total population of 13,925 academics. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression through SPSS version 27 software. The results showed that the level of collection relevance was perceived as good with an average value of 4.19, and the level of utilization was at 4.20. The regression analysis produced the equation Y = 25.349 + 0.351X (p < 0.000), which proves a positive and significant influence between collection relevance and utilization. The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.244 indicates a contribution of 24.4%, while the remaining 75.6% is influenced by other factors outside the model. The conclusion of the study confirms that the availability of relevant and up-to-date collections is the main stimulant that encourages intensive use of library materials to support academic success.
