JOGJA LIBRARY FOR ALL AS LIBRARY NETWORK IN DAERAH ISTIMEWA YOGYAKARTA
Abstract
Library as a provider of information should meet the needs of diverse users. However, basically library is not able to
collect the information that has been produced by scientists on earth, so it has become a major concern for information
workers.Responding to the problem, library so far has done the effort to fill the needs by making cooperation with
other libraries or other information providers. The model of the cooperation has also evolved and been adapted with
the development of the information and communication technology.Library in each university in the region of
Yogyakarta also has made cooperation and library network such as, FPPTI DIY stands for (Forum Perpustakaan
Perguruan Tinggi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta) Forum of University Libraries in Special Region of Yogyakarta
which is a form of cooperation among university libraries or private university libraries producing the main catalog
named JLA (Jogja Library for All) as a part of the library cooperation. JLA which has been working for 12 years
apparently has minimal utilization, because visitors can only see a list of catalogs and can only use the existing
room facilities without being able to borrow the collection. While in Ohio which is a state of the United States, there
is also a very good cooperation both in terms of systems, content and resources. As well as cooperation carried out by
FPPTI which produces the main catalog website, cooperation in Ohio also produces a website, but not just a main
catalog. This paper will explore the extent of the cooperation in JLA in terms of its problems or obstacles and benefits
for librarians, when compared with the cooperation in OHIO Link.
