Abstract

SMAN 1 Cikarang Pusat's Library is a school library located in the Cikarang area. There are several activities at the library, which are data collection of arrival books, borrowing and returning books, creating book catalogues and creating monthly reports. In managing this library there are problems, which are incorrect data, difficulty in searching data, take quite a long time in making a report. This library management becomes less efficient because the recording is still done manually so it takes a long time to do all these activities. In making monthly reports, librarians must take data from previous archive records and perform data collection back in excel. Design and develop an information system therefore, it is necessary to design and develop an information to improve the current system of the library. System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) will be used as a methodology for information system development. The system was developed using Microsoft Access and Microsoft Outlook after identifying user requirements and analyzing the current and proposed systems. The library information system can simplify and speed up the processing of library data, as well as increase the accuracy of the data.The proposed system takes just 0.59 hours, compared to the current system's 2.18 hours. Finally, the proposed system has succeeded in helping librarians to manage libraries more efficiently.
