The Library Clinic session was held with the topic "Bibliometrics" on Tuesday (25/2) in the WOW Meeting Room at the UGM Library and Archives. The session, which took place from 9:30 to 11:30 AM WIB, featured Janu Saptari, S.IP., as the facilitator. Participants gained knowledge and skills in conducting bibliometric analysis, a method used to evaluate and map scientific literature.
During the session, participants learned about the fundamental concepts of bibliometrics, data collection techniques, bibliometric data analysis, as well as the application and interpretation of analysis results in a research context. With these skills, they can optimize information resources to support their academic research.
This initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education by providing learning access that enhances academic literacy.
Designed to assist students, lecturers, researchers, and academic staff, the Library Clinic serves as a platform for library users to overcome various academic challenges, particularly in accessing, searching, and utilizing library resources.
The "clinic" concept in the Library Clinic is adapted from medical services, where users facing technical challenges in accessing specific information can consult with librarians as "information specialists" who provide tailored services to meet their needs.
The Library Clinic sessions are held every weekday, from Monday to Friday, with different topics each day. Library users can attend the sessions according to the schedule without registration.
With a more personal and solution-oriented approach, the Library Clinic helps enhance users' understanding and skills in managing and utilizing academic information more effectively.
