PENINGKATAN MANAJEMEN PENGELOLAAN PERPUSTAKAAN PESANTREN MELALUI PELATIHAN SISTEM OTOMASI PERPUSTAKAAN SENAYAN LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SLiMS) DI KOTA JAMBI

Islamic boarding school (pesantren) libraries play a strategic role in supporting learning activities, strengthening literacy, and fostering a reading culture within religious educational environments. However, the management of pesantren libraries in Jambi City still faces various challenges, including limited human resources, manual management systems, and minimal utilization of information technology. This community service program aims to improve the management of pesantren libraries through training on the implementation of a library automation system using the Senayan Library Management System (SLiMS). The program was carried out through several stages, including planning, theoretical and practical training, technical assistance, and evaluation. The training materials covered an introduction to library automation, installation and configuration of SLiMS, collection processing, circulation services, and library reporting. The results indicate an improvement in the participants’ understanding and skills in managing library collections and services more effectively, efficiently, and in an integrated technology-based manner. The implementation of SLiMS is expected to enhance the quality of information services, support students’ learning activities, and contribute to the development of digital literacy within pesantren libraries in Jambi City.
