Analysis of the Use of E-resources Applications at the Faculty of Economics, Jakarta State University

This research was conducted at the Jakarta State University library for students of the Faculty of Economics to understand the utilization of e-resources in assisting their learning activities. The study employed a qualitative research design to gain deep insights into social and human phenomena, as suggested by Walidin, Saifullah, and Tabrani (2015). Data were collected over a three-month period using interviews, observations, and documentation reviews. The primary data sources included descriptive data from observable individuals and actors, interviews conducted to exchange ideas and information with respondents, systematic observations of user behavior at the library, and documentation reviews of past events and supporting data from the interviews and observations. The analysis used descriptive methods to systematically and accurately describe the current conditions regarding the use of e-resources. This research aims to provide an in-depth description of the utilization of e-resources and the challenges faced by students. The findings suggest several approaches to encourage the use of e-resources, including active promotion on social media and digital platforms, collaboration with lecturers, and provision of support services or technical assistance.
