Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) continues to uphold its commitment to inclusive and sustainable education through the development of the Rumah Ilmu Library’s digital platform, accessible via https://otomasi.unnes.ac.id/. The website serves as an open-access portal that allows the public to explore UNNES’s academic resources, library catalog, and digital services without restrictions, reinforcing the university’s role as a center for knowledge dissemination and community engagement.
The establishment of this platform aligns with UNNES’s identity as a Conservation and Open University, where knowledge is shared equitably to support academic advancement and public learning. Through this website, students, lecturers, researchers, and the broader community can access a wide range of materials, including e-books, journals, reference collections, and library service information, all designed to facilitate continuous and barrier-free learning.
According to the library management, the open-access initiative is a realization of UNNES’s vision to create an inclusive academic ecosystem, enabling both internal and external users to benefit from the university’s vast repository of educational materials. The website integrates modern information systems that provide real-time catalog searches, digital borrowing services, and access to online learning resources, ensuring seamless user experience for both campus members and the general public.
This digital transformation represents UNNES’s broader commitment to the Tri Dharma of Higher Education—education, research, and community service—by extending library services beyond physical boundaries. The Rumah Ilmu Library’s open-access policy demonstrates the university’s dedication to knowledge democratization, academic transparency, and sustainable educational innovation in the digital era.
Through https://otomasi.unnes.ac.id/, UNNES reaffirms its position as a progressive higher education institution that embraces technology to advance equitable access to information, empowering the academic community and society at large toward a culture of lifelong learning.
