The library has a rule and regulation need to follow there are matric must be displayed at all time, eating/drinking inside the library, the mobile phone must be switch to silent, treat the book well, place the book on the trolley after reading, and do not misuse the internet facilities. Furthermore, the dress code to come to his library is to wear a dress code that has been set by the librarian. However, because of this pandemic happen we are cannot come to the library that's why we are having webinars on zoom instead of UTM place. Therefore, a librarian showing us how we can still use the library on the website. This website is very useful for a student to search a reference on an article that are some of the articles got blocked or must be prepaid to have access to it, so this website is to unlocked almost all of the article for free access. With this website, a student can do their essay or report easier.
Self Reflection
Attending this event of Advance Information Searching Skills on this pandemic Covid-19 happens has made us unable to visit the library to find information and books that are there. but the librarian has created a website for students so that they can still use the library facilities even remotely, namely the library information excellency website. With this library website, all students can still access the library, such as looking for article references that cannot be accessed by Google, such as articles that have been blocked or have to be prepaid to get access. This website is really very useful for me and other students to find references easily and with free access so that I can do essays or future reports more easily. Through this session, I have asked so many things about the new library website and asking a question about the green life event. The thing is I have a wonderful time and gain so much knowledge through this session and knowing the existence of this website has made me more relieved and easier to do the next task
