Dar Al-Hikmah Library, International Islamic University Malaysia WHY TRAIN LIBRARY USERS?

Today many academic libraries are changing their
emphasis from holding a collection of printed
materials to providing access to global information
and other library collections via networked
computers. As a result of this change, the
knowledge and skills that are required by the
library users to exploit the new wired resources and
services are also changing. Library users not only
need to become familiar with resources
available in their libraries but also how to access
information from beyond their libraries. The
knowledge and skills required to take advantage of
the digital resources are completely different to
those which were needed by the traditional library
users (Nieminen, 1998; Ray and Day, 1998).

Workshop on Classification Scheme & Subject Heading on Islam

Workshop on Classification Scheme and Subject
Headings on Islam (WCSI-2017) was successfully held on the
10th of August 2017 at the Library’s Auditorium and
Multipurpose Room, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., officiated
by Prof. Dr. Abdelaziz Berghout, Deputy Rector,
Internationalisation & Industry and Community Relations.

The workshop was organized in conjunction with the IIUM World Prosumer Convention 2017 (IIUM WPC 2017),
taking the opportunity to showcase the ‘IIUM Library Classification System on Islam’ to the Muslim World.
It marked the Library’s initial effort to share and promote an appropriate and suitable classification system on
Islam. It was held with these objectives in mind - to enhance the understanding among the Muslim World, the need
and importance for a unique and authentic classification system on Islam; to introduce to owners of Islamic
libraries or libraries with Islamic collection, an appropriate and suitable classification system on Islam; and to give
a preview of the modified and customized subclass BPA-BPZ based on the pilot run done at the IIUM Library.

A total of forty-four participants had attended the workshop. Among them, five are international participants. As
for organizational representation, thirty-three are from various institutions - IIUM, USM, UKM, UiTM, UTEM,
UNISZA, KUIS, KUIM, UNISEL, IBFIM, Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia (IAMM), Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies
(IAIS) and Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogjakarta (UMY), and eleven are IIUM librarians.

Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas Library
SMNA LIBRARY,
KUALA LUMPUR.

Being a world-class specialist library, the SMNA library offers a substantial paramount collection of materials for
IIUM postgraduates and world’s researchers on Islamic thought and civilization. When ISTAC became part of IIUM in
2002, the library had a total collection of more than 140,000 important works. The research collection comprises
books, old journals (not available online), historical collection, rare books, manuscripts, microfilms and artifacts that
made up the library’s wealth and the number is growing to 160,000 items. Most of the collections can be found on
the IIUM Library OPAC.

Manuscripts and primary sources in various languages are the gem of the library. Researchers will find an
abundance of materials – these resources are waiting to be explored of its contents and history for the search of
truth and invigorating scholarly debate. The oldest manuscript in our collection is a Persian Kitab al-Tafhim li awa’il
sina’at al-tanjim (Instruction in the elements of the art of
astrology) by Abu Al-Rayhan al-Biruni, in 136 leaves, copied
date 1197. Surviving copies of prized rare books and scholars’
collections are our international heritage, preserved for current
consultation and future availability.

-Friends of the CFS Library-

The IIUM Centre for Foundation Studies Library in By:
Petaling Jaya is in the process of launching a volunteer
program this year, called ‘Friends of the CFS Library.’ The NAJIBAH ABU BAKAR
purpose of this program is to involve the students more Head of CFS Library
directly with any library events and activities to bridge the Petaling Jaya, Selangor
gap between students and the library. The students will
also act as library ambassadors and assist the library in
promoting its services and facilities to other fellow students.
At the same time, it is hoped that their involvement would
develop their human and management skills, increase their
thinking skills, competitiveness and self-confidence. These
are all important aspects of character building, which is
one of the main focuses at the Centre.

In exchange for their commitments, the library
would provide certificates of appreciation, priority seats in
library trips, book coupons, extra internet hours in the
library computer lab, exclusive mentorship by the librarian
for library research & meet-up sessions with ‘Friends of the
Library’ from other institutions.

The idea for a volunteer group of this nature in the
library is obtained from similar groups in other institutions and
places. In the United States, for example, many public libraries
have strong support from volunteer groups which are also
known as ‘Friends of the Library’. In Malaysia, USIM Library is
much more advanced in this regard. Its library is very lucky to
have a committed group of students in a program that they call
‘Sahabat Kembara Ilmu (SKIL) since 2012.

SKIL members are involved in every library activities as committees, and they even organized
programs at international levels under the wings of Global Islamic Student Outreach (GISO) in Turkey and
Thailand. A representative from the group had also participated in a library conference as the speaker to
share her experience in helping an academic library.

It is an aspiration of the management in CFS PJ Library to bring ‘Friends of the CFS Library’ to an
international level and for it to become the flag flyer of International Islamic University Malaysia,
in concomitant with planned activities related to books, knowledge and library, all implemented by our own
students.

How to Read a Book :
Sharing Sessions

A pril has always been associated with book celebration in the Western culture. We have all heard of or
participated in some ways in book-related events during the month, such as International Book Giving
Days or Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair (KLIBF). However in Islam, the call to Iqra’ is closely related to the
month of Ramadhan, because the Holy Qur’an was first recited to our beloved Prophet s.a.w. by Archangel
Jibril a.s. on the night of Ramadhan. In commemoration of the significant and historic event of the Revelation,
Dar Al-Hikmah Library at the Centre for Foundation Studies IIUM has held an essential program beginning this
Holy Ramadhan, entitled ‘How to Read a Book’ Sharing Sessions.

This program was organized in four sittings; the first was successfully held on 16 June 2017. Three more
sessions were on 7th, 14th and 21st of July this year. Facilitator for the program, Br. Muhammad Yusra bin
Ahmad Hulaimi, is a 3rd year student of Usul al-Din & Comparative Religion course. He attended Maahad
Hamidiah Kajang before entering IIUM. The Library management chose him to facilitate the program because he
is an avid reader with great selection of readings and most of the titles he chooses to read can be considered as
contributing to the discourse on Western and Islamic civilizations. Other than his skills in reading ‘high-brow’ books,
Br. Muhammad Yusra also sharpened his saw by doing translation. He has translated Naẓm al-Maqūlāt by Baba
Li Chaiya from Arabic to Malay. Baba Li Chaiya was a great Muslim
scholar of the 20th century from Southern Thailand. The book was published by Baytul Hikma in 2016.

The sharing session of ‘How to Read a Book’ is guided by the classical work
written in 1940 by Mortimer J. Adler (1902-2001), who was once the Chief
Editor of the Encyclopedia of Britannica and a well-known figure in the field of
Western philosophy and education. He wrote many important titles that had
all became classics such as the Great Books of the Western World (in 60
volumes) and A Syntopican: An Index to the Great Ideas (in 2 volumes). Both
of these titles are available in CFS PJ Library. ‘How to Read a Book’ has
been translated into many languages of the world including Arabic, Turkish,
Malay, Persian, French, German, Italian, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Spanish,
and Chinese.

During the first session, 28 participants attended the program
including a lecturer and three library staff. The facilitator started the
program with a famous quote by Sir Francis Bacon, “Some books are to be
tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.”
It is hoped that the quote would be the basis for more selective and fruitful
reading in the future, by acknowledging that the purpose of the activity can
be different each time.
Next, Br. Muhammad Yusra shared 4 from 11 steps or rules that Adler had
outlined in his book. The 4 steps were:

STEP 1 - Classifying the book

STEP 2 - Stating its theme in a short paragraph and own words

STEP 3 - Demonstrating the book’s structure

STEP 4 - Stating the problem statement or the author’s goal in writing

The facilitator provided a very clear and precise elaboration to each step to assist the students in applying these
reading techniques in the future. The program started at 10.00 AM continued until 12.10 PM, with many of the
students bringing back their own notes from the session. Hopefully the spirit and meaning behind this program will
spread to others, so that more students will attend the future sessions.
