  • Handover Of Book Collection Donation By Unikom Library Interns To Dwi Mekar Health Center 

    Handover Of Book Collection Donation By Unikom Library Interns To Dwi Mekar Health Center 

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – As a real form of contribution to community literacy development, students from the Library Internship Program (PKL) at the Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), Japanese Literature Study Program, conducted a social activity in the form of donating a book collection to the Dwi Mekar Health Post, located on Jalan Dipatiukur in Bandung, near the UNIKOM campus.

    The donation was held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, by four PKL participants: Syifa Amelia Hidayat, Elinda Sofyani, Muhammad Naufal Alfariz, and Adrian Virgi, accompanied by their PKL supervisor Maghfira Herdiani, S.S.I., and the Head of the Division of Development and Processing of Library Materials, Sri Utami Lestari, S.S.I. The donation consisted of 20 titles and 20 copies of printed books on Indonesian and international recipes. The collection was received by the Chairperson of the PKK RW 13 Cadre Movement, Indriyani, for use by the cadres and members of the local integrated health post to enhance reading culture and improve the economic conditions of the integrated health post under their care.

    What makes this activity more meaningful is that all the donated books were processed independently by the internship students as part of their learning or training in collection processing during their internship at the Library Directorate. The process included inventorying the collection as property of the RW 13 Integrated Health Post in Lebakgede Village, data entry, classification and cataloging, labeling, ownership stamping, binding, and shelving or arranging the collection to be ready for use. All stages were carried out systematically under the supervision of librarians or internship supervisors. 

    During the internship period, the students not only learned about the theory and procedures of library materials processing but also applied them directly in real-world work practices. The book collection handed over is the final outcome of these activities and serves as a tangible example of the students’ contributions to supporting literacy programs that directly impact the community.

    This handover activity was warmly received by the Dwi Mekar Health Post. The books donated will be used to support community education activities, particularly in mother and child development programs. During the handover event, the students also interacted directly with the Integrated Health Post managers. Additionally, this book donation program is one of the strategies to expand the library’s service reach to the community around the campus, especially local communities with limited access to quality reading materials. Integrated Health Post, as a center for maternal and child health activities, is considered a strategic partner for directly conveying information and literacy to the community.

    The Director of the UNIKOM Library, Ubudiyah Setiawati, S.Sos., M.I.Kom, hopes that this activity can serve as a good example of collaboration between educational institutions and the community in improving access to quality information and reading materials. Additionally, this activity is expected to serve as a trigger for similar programs in the future, whether in the form of community service, literacy training, or support for other reading facilities. With a collaborative spirit between higher education institutions and local communities, literacy among the Indonesian people can continue to grow and develop evenly.

    Such activities equip students with deep social experiences and foster a sense of responsibility as part of an intellectually engaged community. Through this initiative, it is hoped that internship students not only gain technical understanding of collection management but also recognize the importance of libraries in building a smart, literate, and inclusive society.

  • UNIKOM Faculty of Design Holds SCOPA Education 2025 to Highlight the Role of Paper in Design

    UNIKOM Faculty of Design Holds SCOPA Education 2025 to Highlight the Role of Paper in Design

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The world of design remains closely tied to the use of paper, despite the dominance of digital and social media. Realizing the importance of paper quality in supporting the strength of design work, the Faculty of Design at Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) in collaboration with PT Surya Palacejaya organized SCOPA Education (Surya Palace Creative on Paper) on the UNIKOM campus in Bandung.

    The event, which took place on Thursday, April 24, 2025, carried the theme ‘All About Paper’ as part of the Faculty of Design’s 2025 program. This event featured Tommy Wily Bonytua, S.T., from PT Surya Palacejaya as the main speaker, with Dr. Tiara Isfiaty, M.Sn., serving as moderator, as Head of the Interior Design Study Program and Lecturer of the Interior Design Study Program & MDS Postgraduate Program. This activity was attended by lecturers in the Faculty of Design and attended by students from the Visual Communication Design (DKV), Graphic Design, and Interior Design Study Programs, particularly those enrolled in Illustration II for the 2024/2025 academic year.

    This activity was led by Dr. Ambarsih Ekawardhani, M.Sn. as Chief Executive, supported by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rini Maulina, M.Sn., as Vice Chair, along with the committee team from the Visual Communication Design, Graphic Design, and Interior Study Programs. In her speech, Dr. Ambarsih Ekawardhani, M.Sn. said that “With this activity, students gain exposure to various types of specialty paper that are not widely available in the market. One of the interesting papers introduced is a paper that cannot be torn. This activity opens students’ insights that certain types of paper can improve the quality of design work, both visually and through sensory experience. Hopefully, this activity can broaden students’ understanding and appreciation of the variety of materials in the world of design,” said Dr. Ambarsih 

    In his presentation, Tommy introduced various types of imported paper distributed by PT Surya Palacejaya, as well as explained the characteristics and functions of each type of paper in supporting the quality of design work. One of the interesting moments was when participants were introduced to a paper product called Yupo – a synthetic paper that cannot be torn. The participants tried to tear the paper in various ways, but none of them succeeded, which generated a lot of enthusiasm among the participants.

    SCOPA Education also marked the launch of BAKSYA 2025, the Faculty of Design’s Illustration Competition for Creative Design Works. This competition is planned as a national-scale event involving students from various universities in Indonesia, especially in the field of Visual Communication Design. BAKSYA will include competitions and exhibitions of works, becoming a creative platform for design students throughout Indonesia to express their innovative ideas.

    With the implementation of SCOPA Education 2025, the UNIKOM Faculty of Design hopes that students will increasingly understand the importance of choosing the right media in their creative process and strengthen their competitiveness in both national and international creative industries.
