Abstract

This article reports on a community service intervention to strengthen the STIA LAN Bandung Polytechnic Library's services through collection management, digital content production, and accreditation support. The partner library faced three specific problems: the accumulation of 127 uncataloged alumni-donated books, unverified inventory data for Final Project deposit collections, and a lack of digital content for institutional branding. A service-learning approach was implemented over 25 working days (November 2025-January 2026) through three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation, with achievements measured using indicators adapted from Kirkpatrick's Level 2 (learning) and Level 3 (behavior) models. The results showed that 127 books were recorded in the Master Book; 342 Final Project deposit collections were verified through stocktaking with 94.7percent accuracy; six digital content pieces were produced (generating 1,200+ social media impressions); and one accreditation support report was completed. The novelty of this study lies in the integrated model that combines conventional collection management with digital branding strengthening within a single service-learning framework for the vocational library context. This achievement can serve as a replicable model for strengthening student-centered library services in vocational colleges.

Abstrak

Artikel ini melaporkan intervensi pengabdian kepada masyarakat untuk penguatan layanan Perpustakaan Politeknik STIA LAN Bandung melalui pengelolaan koleksi, produksi konten digital, dan dukungan akreditasi. Perpustakaan mitra menghadapi tiga permasalahan spesifik: penumpukan 127 buku sumbangan alumni yang belum terkatalog, data inventaris koleksi deposit Tugas Akhir yang belum diverifikasi, serta minimnya konten digital untuk branding kelembagaan. Pendekatan service-learning diterapkan selama 25 hari kerja (November 2025-Januari 2026) melalui tiga tahap: persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi, dengan capaian diukur menggunakan indikator adaptasi model Kirkpatrick Level 2 (learning) dan Level 3 (behavior). Hasil menunjukkan 127 buku telah tercatat dalam Buku Induk; 342 koleksi deposit Tugas Akhir terverifikasi melalui stock opname dengan akurasi 94,7 persen; enam konten digital diproduksi (menghasilkan 1.200+ impresi media sosial); dan satu laporan bukti dukung akreditasi diselesaikan. Kebaruan studi ini terletak pada model terpadu yang mengombinasikan pengelolaan koleksi konvensional dengan penguatan branding digital dalam satu kerangka service-learning untuk konteks perpustakaan vokasi. Capaian ini dapat menjadi model yang dapat direplikasi untuk penguatan layanan perpustakaan berbasis mahasiswa di perguruan tinggi vokasi.

Kata Kunci: dukungan akreditasi; konten digital; layanan perpustakaan; pengelolaan koleksi; perpustakaan vokasi
