<![CDATA[Backgroud: Limited budgets have compelled libraries to innovate in order to ensure their sustainability. One effective strategy for addressing budget constraints is interlibrary collaboration. Interlibrary collaboration involves cooperative activities between two or more libraries and may also include partnerships with other information-related organizations, such as reference centers, data analysis institutions, and others. Such collaboration is essential because no single library, regardless of its scale or resources, can comprehensively collect all available information. Every library faces limitations in fully meeting users’ information needs. Interlibrary collaboration serves to bridge these gaps by enabling access to information that may not be available in a single institution. Purpose: This study aims to explore research on interlibrary collaboration by analyzing its historical development, supporting and inhibiting factors, and its impact on both users and institutions. Methods: The study employs a narrative literature review method, using the Google Scholar database to identify relevant references. A total of 14 journal articles were analyzed. Results: The findings suggest that interlibrary collaboration can be a viable solution for enhancing library collections. It also fosters stronger institutional relationships, as collaboration contributes to collection development and improves overall library quality. However, several challenges persist, such as limited personnel, which can slow down collaborative processes, and inadequate funding, which can hinder the sustainability of such initiatives. Despite these obstacles, interlibrary collaboration continues to evolve, offering opportunities to refine library strategies and improve the effectiveness of cooperative efforts.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The advancement of information technology has transformed the management of microfilm collections through digitization. This process aims to align with the increasingly digital information consumption patterns of society, while also preserving information and enhancing accessibility.Purpose: This study explores the stages of microfilm digitization, the challenges encountered, and applicable digital preservation strategies to ensure the longevity of information.Methods: Conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research collected primary data through direct observation of the digitization process and secondary data from literature review. The data were analyzed by identifying, categorizing, and explaining key elements such as digitization activities, challenges, solutions, and preservation strategies. Results: The findings indicate that microfilm digitization consists of three stages: pre-transformation (administrative and equipment preparation), transformation (microfilm scanning), and post-transformation (quality control and file management). Challenges include the dependency of digital output quality on the condition of the microfilm, limited human and financial resources, and the difficulty of sustaining digital access amid technological changes. Solutions include the use of artificial intelligence to improve OCR accuracy and automate metadata analysis. To ensure long-term access, preservation strategies such as data refreshing, format migration, and digital environment emulation are essential. With these strategies, information institutions can safeguard knowledge and reinforce the role of libraries in the digital era.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The rate of student visits to the STIKes Binalita Sudama Medan library has experienced a significant and drastic decline in recent years. This phenomenon presents a crucial issue as it directly impacts the low utilization of verified academic information sources by students. Furthermore, this situation threatens the fundamental role of the library as a center for learning and intellectual development within the higher education ecosystem, thus requiring an in-depth exploration to understand its root causes.Purpose: This study aims to comprehensively explore the underlying factors contributing to the decline in student visits to the library. Additionally, it seeks to identify and analyze the effectiveness of relevant and contextually appropriate strategies that can be implemented to revitalize the library's role.Methods: This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method to gain a holistic understanding. Data were collected through technique triangulation, which included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and a documentation study. Research informants, consisting of librarians and students, were selected using a snowball sampling technique until data saturation was achieved.Results: The findings indicate that the causes for the decline in visits are multifaceted, stemming from both internal factors (student attitudes and digital preferences) and external factors (inadequate facilities, collections, and promotion). Existing strategies, such as lecturer collaboration and friendly service, have not been optimally effective.Conclusions: The decline in visits is influenced by internal factors and significantly exacerbated by external factors, namely the library's failure to meet basic user expectations. This study provides a critical diagnostic contribution for library management to reformulate more effective, user-centered strategies aimed at enhancing the library's appeal and relevance.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Technological developments are keeping pace with the increasingly complex needs of society. For example, in university libraries, academics demand information technology to effectively support learning and research activities.Purpose: To analyze publication development, country distribution, the most productive authors, and publication theme trends based on the co-occurrence of keywords related to the research topic.Methods: This study uses quantitative analysis with bibliometric data from the Scopus database and the VOSviewer application.Results: This study shows an increase in publications related to the topic of information technology application in university libraries in 2021. This was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated information technology-based online services to meet the needs of the academic community. However, publications declined again in 2025 as the research focus shifted to AI and other emerging issues, aligning with current trends. The country with the highest contribution was China, and the most productive author, Chen, Y., also came from China. This can be attributed to the Chinese government's push to accelerate the digitization of higher education. The most frequently discussed keywords were 'information technology,' 'university libraries,' and 'libraries.' Meanwhile, 'smart libraries' was one of the least researched keywords.Conclusion: This study concludes that developing information technology in university libraries is important for creating more efficient, effective, sustainable, and up-to-date services. Future research could analyze similar keywords using different databases or explore rarely researched keywords to obtain more diverse results.]]>
