Introduction

The presence of a library as a learning source in an educational
institution is a must. UT library has been established since as long as the

establishment of UT as a distance education institution. At the beginning, it was
a part of Educational Media Production , Informatics, and Data Processing Center.

This Center, based on the Letter of Decision from Minister of Education Number
04 70/0/1992 about UT Statute , was then developed into three Centers , namely

Computer Center, Multi Media Production Center, and Library. With the recent
change into UT new structure in 2005, the name of UT library was changed again

to become Library Service Center called Puslata (Pusat Layanan Pustaka).
