DIGILIB (Digital Library) & Co-Working Space Provides Discussion Rooms with Automatic Room Reservation
Yogyakarta (08/05/2024) - DIGILIB & Co-Working Space FISIPOL UGM is an innovative facility that serves not only as a repository for digital resources but also as spaces to meet the diverse needs of students, faculty, and staff members of both FISIPOL UGM and UGM community. Located within the FISIPOL UGM building, this modern space reflects FISIPOL's commitment to adopting technology and innovation in education while supporting the goals of SDGs point 9, which emphasize promoting sustainable and inclusive industrial development, innovation, and infrastructure.
One of the main features of DIGILIB & Co-Working Space is the provision of specially designed discussion rooms to facilitate academic conversations. These discussion rooms are equipped with the latest audiovisual equipment and comfortable seating arrangements, creating an ideal environment for productive interactions and debate. DIGILIB & Co-Working Space FISIPOL UGM is spread across two floors of the building, offering 5 discussion rooms available free of charge for FISIPOL UGM members. On the 3rd floor, there are 3 discussion rooms available with capacities ranging from 3 to 10 people. Meanwhile, on the 2nd floor, there is one discussion room and one mini theater or cinema room that can be used for academic purposes.
A key aspect of this initiative is the provision of discussion rooms equipped with automatic room reservation technology. This not only enhances resource efficiency but also demonstrates how technology can be used to improve productivity and collaboration. Through automatic reservation, time previously wasted on manual processes can be allocated to other productive activities, aligning with the goals of SDGs point 9. This process is facilitated through an easy-to-use online platform available at digilib.fisipol.ugm.ac.id, where FISIPOL UGM members can easily reserve discussion rooms at their desired dates and times with just a few clicks. This streamlines the booking process and ensures efficient utilization of the facilities.

Additionally, DIGILIB & Co-Working Space facilitates the exchange of knowledge and innovation through an open and inclusive environment. By enabling students, faculty, and staff to collaborate and share ideas, this facility helps strengthen technological and innovative capacities within the academic community. Beyond discussion rooms, there are PCs available to support academic processes that can be freely used by FISIPOL UGM members. This aligns with the principles of SDGs point 9, which emphasize the importance of building local capacities in adopting and developing technology.
Thus, DIGILIB & Co-Working Space FISIPOL UGM not only serves as a modern center for learning and collaboration but also serves as a model for how technology can be used to support the achievement of SDGs point 9. By continuously strengthening technological infrastructure and fostering innovation, this facility plays a role in building a more inclusive and sustainable future for the entire academic community.
