Development of Slims Framework Modification and Migration for Library Information System in Electrical Engineering Department, Diponegoro University of Indonesia

Abstract

Many libraries have been built for the library management system in a more active era of development, one of which is Slims. Slims is an open-source library management system that aims to simplify book search management while expanding existing capabilities. The Department of Electrical Engineering library initially used a PHP 4 website; however, in the present development, the library is innovating by adopting Slims based on PHP 7.4. The rationale for the change is that the former website had flaws, such as insufficient search tools, a lack of available book data, a less appealing website design, and a manual borrowing process. As a result, inventions and modifications are made to address these flaws. It's vital to map the previous data to make transferring data more accessible. Matching fields from several datasets into a schema or database is data mapping. Thus, innovation and modification are carried out to make it easier for librarians to maintain the library system.
