Part I
Background of Library Collaboration
Basically there is no single library, however large the library is, which is
able to gather all the information produced by publishers and writers
throughout the world, even for the most specific scientific disciplines.
Realizing this, every library or information center always tries to establish
cooperation with existing libraries or information centers. The definition of
collaboration between libraries is collaboration that involves two or more
libraries. There are several factors that encourage collaboration between
libraries, namely:
3. Progress in the field of technology with its various impacts on industry and
trade and the need for leaders and employees to develop new skills and
techniques. These skills, among others, can be obtained from reading;

isolated;

other libraries that might need that books.

7. Cooperation in Compiling the Master Catalog.
This form of collaboration is carried out by two or more libraries that agree
to cooperate with each other to provide information services. One form of this
collaboration is borrowing between libraries, search services, and
photocopying services. Cooperation like this involves all the resources in the
library. So it is not limited to lending between libraries.

Conclusion
Library cooperation should be a concern with SliMS users, at least for the
adjacent libraries, for example libraries in one sub-district. This cooperation
has at least several benefits: 1. Library cooperation can overcome problems
in the case of lack of funds for the procurement of library materials, especially
for the procurement of supporting collections. 2. The image of the library can
be lifted because "impressed" there is always new library material in the
library, 3. Helping librarians at least in terms of processing, especially if the

library manager is limited, not only limited in the number of human resources
is also limited in terms of classification and cataloging capabilities. 4. Between
library managers can share knowledge of a new thing that he gets. Thus,
actually this can overcome the limitations of the cost of HR development as
well. For library cooperation, it is necessary to have regular meetings to
strengthen relations. Therefore, in this forum we invite library managers to
consider library collaboration more seriously by utilizing this SliMS application.
