Arabic Education Study Program of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Visited Main Library of UPM Malaysia for International Benchmarking

One form of strengthening the internationalization of the Arabic Education Study Program S1 study program at UIN Sunan Kalijaga is a site visit to the main library of Universiti Putra Malaysia on Friday 18 August 2023. The delegates of ARABIC EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM Study Program of UIN Sunan Kalijaga were Head of Study Program Dr. Nurhadi, M.A., Secretary of Study Program Nurul Huda, M.Pd.I., Dr. Hj Umi Baroroh, M.Ag., Nisa Syuhda, M.Pd., Dr. Agung Setiayawan, M.Pd.I., Nurhapsari Pradnya Paramita, M.Pd.I., Dr. Rohmatun Lukluk Isnaini, M.Pd., Dr. Andi Holilulloh, M.A., Mahmudah, Lc., M.SI., Dr. Zamakhsari, M.Ag.
The main library of UPM is named Sultan Abdul Somad Library and is the landmark of civilization and knowledge in this University. It has two dedicated buildings with a total area of 19,007 square meters. The library provides about 2,000 seats, excluding the facilities of carrel rooms, meeting rooms, discussion rooms, auditoriums and so on. The bookshelves are capable of holding more than 600,000 copies of books.
Alhamdulillah, on this occasion, 3 books by Arabic Education Study Program lecturer (Dr. Andi Holilulloh, M.A.) can be donated to the Sultan Abdul Somad Library UPM Malaysia. The three books are entitled: 1. Directions and Colors of Modern Arabic Linguistics, 2. Summary of Nahwu Sharaf, 3. Alliance of Civilizations. Hopefully these three books from the work of ARABIC EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM UIN Sunan Kalijaga lecturers can be utilized by UPM Malaysia Arabic Literature students.
The role of the library of UPM as a bridge of knowledge to sharpen the minds of UPM Malaysia students and this library has been made the core of the University's academic complex. The location of this library is also surrounded by several faculties at UPM to facilitate students and lecturers to visit the library. When the ARABIC EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM S1 study program delegates came, they were amazed by its magnificent building and complete facilities making it the focus of the campus community. Hopefully with this international activity, the ARABIC EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM study program at UIN Sunan Kalijaga will become the center of academic civilization in Indonesia in the field of Arabic language education).
