Analysis of the implementation of Unpad Library Management System using the Technology Acceptance Model: librarian perspective

In 2017 Universitas Padjadjaran introduced Unpad Library Management System (ULiMS). All faculty libraries in Unpad then gradually migrate to ULiMS. The migration from one system to another requires readiness and acceptance of all supporting components, including librarians. This study aims to analyze the implementation of ULiMS by using the Technology Acceptance Model from the perspective of the librarians. This study uses qualitative research methods with a case study approach. Primary data was obtained from the results of observations and interviews with 11 librarians from 11 faculty libraries in Unpad. Triangulation is done by triangulation theory, namely through literature review. The results showed that all faculty libraries in Unpad could receive ULiMS as a system that could integrate all library databases in Unpad. Librarians can understand the weaknesses and advantages of ULiMS. In implementing ULiMS, faculty libraries at Unpad have migrated from the old system to ULiMS. However, some faculty libraries still run the old library management system together with ULiMS to overcome the weaknesses of ULiMS. This research is expected to provide input to policymakers in implementing a new library system so that it can be well received by all relevant components, especially by librarians.
