Digitalization of Interior Material Library to Enhance Teaching-Learning Process

Abstract

The concept of the library is evolving from the conventional storage for books into a digital information centre, a place to dive deep into sources of knowledge. The urgency of digitization has led by the requirement of distance learning, the flexibility of accessing resources and building a preserved collection in digital form. Interior Design Department BINUS University realizes the need for digitization could help students and lecturers to cope with the situation. In this research, a study case in the interior material library of BINUS University is conducted to show step by step process of digitizing the material library collection. The approach holds three significant steps; the nomenclature study by making categories and coding the samples, transferring material samples into digital formation, and preparing the digital platform to broaden the users’ access. The result of this research is elaborated, and lessons learned from the process. The review can develop further research in the digitization of the interior material library in the future.
