Direct peers

• Perpustakaan Institut Teknologi Bandung: Central library of ITB, Indonesia's leading technology university. Comparable as a STEM-focused academic library with strong digital repository and research support services.

• Perpustakaan Universitas Padjadjaran: Central library of UNPAD in West Java. FPPTI member with analogous service portfolio — physical collections, e-resources, repository, and research training programs.

Broad incumbents

• Perpustakaan Nasional Republik Indonesia: Indonesia's national library and the originator of INLISLite, the open-source platform AILIS is built on. Operates a far broader mandate (national deposit library, public lending, standards) than a single university library.

Emerging players

• Internet Archive: Global non-profit digital library offering free access to books, journals, audio, and web archives. Represents the open-access alternative competing for student research attention that UNAIR Library must contend with.
