Abstract

Library services is one of the pillars of the library activities. Among the main activities in the field of library services is a service of the circulation. Circulation services is a common activity in which library services consist of sub-activities of borrowing and returning library materials, especially printed books.

By using the automated attendant system equipped computer tools to carry out services. Technological developments did not stop there, the service-based automation system is being developed for the better. One is the development of self-service infrastructure, where library user directly served by the machine. The research outlined in this paper is the development of self-service engineering research. This study includes the analysis and design of computer-based self-service systems, which consist of members of the library system checks automatically, independent book-lending system and the system returns a standalone book. The technology used is a web-based system, by maximizing the use of technology LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP). The results of this study generates a computer-based self-service tools that will be applied in Riau University Library.
