2. FACULTY LIBRARY UNIT
Library of the study program is included in the library of the faculty. Learning facilities that are available in the library include books, journals, proceedings, bachelor theses, master theses, dissertations, and bulletins. All those facilities are available in hard copy and soft copy. The open hour of the library is from 07:30-15:00. Additionally, the reading room is extended from 15:00-20:00. It opens everyday during weekdays.
To support learning facilities of students, the faculty library is also online connected to the university library and post-graduate library (http://lib.ugm.ac.id/) where students can search for learning materials from outside faculty. Otherwise, the students can visit the university library building located in the center of the university to read books or theses directly. The open hour of the university library is from 07:30-20:00 (Monday-Thursday), 07:30-20:15 (Friday), 08:00-12:00 (Saturday).
The e-Library facility eases students to access learning material from anywhere anytime via Direct Access (http://ezproxy.ugm.ac.id/menu). The providers of online journals and e-books available in e-lib such as: ScienceDirect,SciVerse Scopus, SpringerLink (Journals & E-Books), WEB OF SCIENCE & JournalCitation Reports, ACS Publications,AIP – American Institute Of Physics, AJAE –American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Crop Protection Compendium,EBSCOhost, Forestry Compendium, Journal of Agronomy & Crop Science, TheJournal of Enviromental Economics & Management, JSTOR, NetLibrary [EbscohostEbooks] and others. Students report good satisfaction with this service.
