Razib bin Karno, a senior librarian from Sultanah Zanariah Library, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia came all the way from Johor to share his knowledge on related subject.

Penghayatan Sehati Sejiwa CAIS 2017

Several schools were invited to make Penghayatan Sehati Sejiwa CAIS 2017 a success on Friday, September 29, 2017, held at CAIS’ auditorium. The program was organized to promote Malaysia’s independence-related treasures of knowledge resources while providing communities the awareness of independent soul as well as giving the exposure to them about the country’s figures.

Sehati Sejiwa carries the meaning of integrity, unity, mutual understanding, united in the pursuit of success and moment of hardship by all people and society. Unity is meaningless if the individual souls in a society are empty and unknowledgeable. Knowledgeable individuals have the ability to assess in planning and implementing any program with wisdom.

CAIS’ efforts in uplifting knowledge with the community at the school level are noble efforts in order to ensure that the appreciation of togetherness in an independent country can be exploited as early as possible.

KOHA answers call for resource optimization!

UNIMAS’s call for resource optimization was answered by the implementation of KOHA 17.05 in CAIS. CAIS is one of the first few academic libraries in Malaysia who uses KOHA Integrated Library System. Before switching to KOHA, CAIS has been using Millennium Integrated Library System for more than ten years.

Soft launching of KOHA was held on July 14, 2017 with Chief Librarian of UNIMAS Mrs. Margaret Simeng, activating the lending and return services in the Circulation Module. The migration to KOHA was conducted by a System Development Team comprising CAIS’ Librarians and Information Technology Officers, CITDS. The implementation process had taken about three months including the conversion of data from the old system to MARC-compliant format, migrating all records such as bibliographic, acquisition, patron, borrowing and returns, item and holds, and staff training.
