UPT Perpustakaan Universitas Hasanuddin

What UPT Perpustakaan Universitas Hasanuddin does

UPT Perpustakaan Universitas Hasanuddin is the central library of Hasanuddin University, operating as a Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) under Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. Established as faculty libraries in 1947 and reorganized as the Central Library in 1960 before being reclassified as a UPT in 1983, the library serves the academic community of Hasanuddin University in Makassar, South Sulawesi. The institution provides free physical and digital library services to registered students, faculty, and staff, funded entirely through university and government education budget allocations with no commercial pricing model. The four-story, 14,420 m² facility on the Tamalanrea campus houses approximately 516,000 volumes, specialized collections (Sulawesiana regional collection, scientific works, periodicals), and multiple international cultural corners (Japan, Korea-Indonesia, France, Germany, China).

The library's core technology stack includes a digital library management system built on Inlislite automation software, the UNHAS Repository for institutional research outputs (theses, dissertations, research reports in searchable PDF format), an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), and the Kubuku mobile application for digital collection access. Subscription integrations include major research databases — ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Scopus, Clinical Key, Cambridge Core, and World Scientific — alongside national Indonesian platforms (ONEsearch.id, SINTA, Neliti, RAMA, Ipusnas, e-Resources Perpusnas). The library runs an active outreach program through Mobil Perpustakaan Keliling (mobile library vehicle), Duta Literasi (Literacy Ambassador) program, Ex Libris intellectual discussion series, and JUPITER journal publication.

The business model is institutionally funded rather than commercial: there are no user fees for accessing physical or digital resources, and the library derives no revenue from its primary services. Strategic value is created through partnerships — including with MEXT Japan, Kanazawa University, Bank Indonesia, FPPTI Sulawesi Selatan, PT Nasmedia, and other Indonesian universities — which extend programmatic reach, fund cultural corners, and support certification programs. The leadership team comprises six named staff under Head of Library Prof. Dr. Hj. Munira Hasjim (2026-2030), with operations segmented across services and quality assurance, HR development and scientific publication, and public relations functions.
