Current library practices, 2026

1. Provide open source textbooks for all units currently taught in the language of instruction.
1. WU should be able to edit and update textbooks as often as we see necessary.
2. It benefits different parties if WU can distribute open source materials for free.
3. It avoid the kinds of problems that can come with traditional commercial textbooks:
1. WU and students won’t have problems with supply (“Sorry, that book is of print.”)
2. WU and students won’t have delivery problems. The student might have to pay tax on it if it crosses national boundaries, or the book can arrive too late to be used that semester. Sometimes books don’t even arrive at all.
2. Provide selected open source journal articles in the library.
3. Include relevant international standards as needed.
4. Use Google Scholar and Sinta for primary sources.
5. No financial budget is required, although it is costly in term of time.
6. Continually improve all library items over which we have control. (Edit wording, coding, illustrations, etc.), with a priority of current and immediate future units.
7. Continue incidental additions
8. Improve bilingualism in the library, e.g:
1. Bilingual items
2. Increased Indonesian coverage
9. Make optimum use of AI and automated translation

Foreseable future

1. Improve the menu system to be more bilingual so that library users see only sources in their own language, with the option to see both.
