TOPIC 3: LIBRARY AND CAMPUS RESOURCES



Dear Diary,
Today is the day for us Part 1, group RB1B attending Study Skills subject (UED102) in the class for the first time.
At first, I feel awkward because I don't know anyone in here. Time past by, and the whole class is still not making too much noise. My mind were blank when thinking about " Is it my lecturer happy-go-lucky type or he is strict? Honestly, I was scared when people get angry. Maybe I am too emosional. 



A minutes later, there is a guy or maybe a man walking in front of the class. He is standing near his desk.Well, we all though that he will be our lecturer.



"Hello everyone! My name is Mohd Anwar Bin Hassim. You guys can call me Sir Anwar. Congratulation ! Welcome to UITM Raub Cawangan Pahang. Do not be shy. I will teach you with a relaxing mood. But yeah.. not too relax okay." Say Sir Anwar.



At that time, I feel like " Oh Allah, Thanks for sending Sir Anwar to teach our grup".



At 8:15 a.m until 10:05 a.m, Sir Anwar was teaching and gave some advice for us about the subject. He also give us some handout that we must done it before going back. In about 30 minutes before the class end, we go to academy library which is "Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak" to divide us into a few groups and we are discussing about the first topic which is Library resources.

Well, at first, I did not know that there are three types of library but then, Sir Anwar give a simple explanation using his slide which is...


  • Academy resources such as library, information and technology computing.
  • Housing, Dining and Transportation Resources such as buses, dining place.
  • Student Organization Resources such as extra curricular, leisure activities.




The things that I have learned about library resources :


1) four steps that can be use when borrowing books in the library.
first step is, we can access "webOPAC" to find the genre book or maybe to make you be easy finding the book places on the shelf. If your phone don't has that apps, you may use the computer in the academy library. When you are walking inside the academy library, make sure that you watch out when pass through the automatic gate that will be open after scanning your matrics id card. However, if you do not have matrics id card, the worker will help to open the automatic gate to make you pass, so, please register your name to the counter worker manually.

Next, after you find the books that you wanted on the shelf, you may go to the counter and give your matrics id card. The worker will scan the books and the process just took less than a minute. You can borrow maximum 20 books.

After that, wait until the counter worker help you to open up the automatic gate for the second time. You can borrow books for two weeks which is not including weekend.

Lastly, make sure that you send all books back due date to the academy library. Just came back to the academy library and give your matrics id card to the counter worker. Generally, if you are late, you will be fined 10 cent for each day you late. In case you are losing your book, you must pay the book at the counter.



2) For your information, actually you can borrow books in online by using WebOPAC.

First step is, just typing the link http://library.pahang.uitm.edu.my/v1/index.php on google or another browse.  Please enter your student ID. Just ignore the password box. After that, you may select either Pattern, Keywords or Leftstring for search type. Then, you may choose either author name, subject, publication, series, title or call number for access point. Moreover, the desired result per page will show you from the option 10, 25, 50 or 100. when clicking the book you wanted and you will see biographic data of the book. Lastly, for the search text, you just need to search text based on what you have selected at Access Point. This web actually pretty good for us because the cover will be shown. So, it is easier for you to find the actual book you wanted.(http://library.pahang.uitm.edu.my/v1/index.php)




3) KMM


KMM or "Kelas Kemahiran Maklumat" is aiming to give more explanation for the user about their services, convenience, and collection in the library that will conducted during the study session and offered especially to Students / staff of the Faculty of Business Management. . KMM is one of the things Sir Anwar told us that, if we have problems about on how to use WatOPAC and the others, just go to the library and taking this class because if he teach us in class, he will not have enough time to explain one by one.

4)WILS (Wisconsin Library Service)
It is a system from academy library to make the library more advance. 


5)Online Database

Online database is being use to access journal, articles, e-books, news articles, statistic, patents, standards and conference paper by the student when searching evidence or research to do the assignment given by lecturer.(http://online.ptar.uitm.edu.my/databases/)

6)APA Style

As a student, we will learn applying APA style in term papers, research reports and journal articles.The content will teach us steps on writing.


7) EQPS

EQPS is mostly past exam questions paper. Student can print it and do as exercises in free time. Past questions paper may helps student to familiarize with form questions. So, the student will not being shock in the exam.

Okay, that's all for now. This topic is really interesting for me. Hope I can learn more about another things on the next study skills class.
