FUDA I Thursday (03 October 2024) - The Islamic Library and Information Science Study Program held a National Seminar with the theme: “The Role of Atpusi (Association of School Library Personnel) in School Library Development in Banten Province” with speaker ety Widianti, S. E. (Chairperson of Atpusi Prov.Banten) and moderated by Jamridafrizal.
Head of the IPII Study Program Hadian Rizani said in his speech that some time ago we also learned about Records Management in the Metro TV Station. I visited the school library several times, where the development of the library there, is still lacking, in addition to the collection, and librarians, the aesthetics as well. For this reason, Alhamdulillah, today we are again holding a seminar, which in this semester is already the third time.
Vice Dean I Sholahuddin Al Ayubi said when visiting the Alexander Library, I saw an extraordinary collection, from old printing presses to the latest. My son in Malaysia found a bookstore that looks like a library, and in Korea the library is also very extraordinary. Mr. Hadian once asked, where is the library building? I said the library is the heart of the IPII study program.
