Information Technology-Based Library to Support Teaching Factory (TEFA) Learning Methods

The library is a supporting facility for the learning process that must adapt to developments in information technology. This study aims to analyze the library’s role as an information source, including its services and features, in supporting the implementation of Teaching Factory (TEFA)-based learning. The method used in this study is a literature review, conducted to conceptually and comprehensively examine the role of information technology-based libraries in vocational education environments. The findings indicate that libraries play a crucial role in the effective implementation of TEFA learning. This includes ease of access to technology, the ability to search for collections aligned with the curriculum and industry needs, and the development of innovative services that can serve as platforms for publishing learning outcomes and fostering connectivity with the industrial sector. These results demonstrate that information technology-based libraries are essential in supporting TEFA-based learning and can be effectively integrated into the educational process.
