Libraries make an important contribution to the disclosure of science information.

This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews and documentation methods.

Review

This paper, titled "Manajemen Pelayanan Perpustakaan dalam Meningkatkan Minat Baca Mahasiswa STIT Palapa Nusantara," addresses a highly relevant topic concerning the role of academic libraries in fostering a reading culture among students. The abstract effectively highlights the foundational importance of libraries as centers for learning, knowledge acquisition, and even recreation, framing them as essential for national education and academic development. The stated research objectives are clear: to understand *how* library services contribute to increasing reading interest among STIT Palapa Nusantara students and *to what extent* these services have been successful in doing so. This sets a clear scope for investigation into practical strategies and their measurable impact. The methodology employed is described as descriptive qualitative research, utilizing observation, interviews with the Head of the Library and students, and documentation. This approach is appropriate for exploring complex phenomena like service effectiveness and student engagement in depth. However, the abstract could benefit from slightly more detail regarding the qualitative methods. For instance, mentioning the number of interviewees (students), the specific aspects observed, or the types of documents analyzed would provide a clearer picture of the study's rigor and scope. While the subjects are identified, a brief rationale for their selection or the sampling strategy would further strengthen the methodological description. The findings presented in the abstract reveal significant deficiencies rather than successful strategies for increasing reading interest. The research concludes that there is a "lack of attention from the school to improving library services," citing insufficient book collections, inadequate facilities, untrained staff, and poor library management. Crucially, these shortcomings are identified as having a *negative effect* on students' reading interest and their inclination to utilize the library. While these findings are impactful and offer clear actionable insights for STIT Palapa Nusantara, they deviate somewhat from the initial research objectives which imply an investigation into *how* services *increase* interest and *to what extent* they *have increased* it. The study ultimately serves as a critical diagnostic assessment, revealing barriers to reading interest rather than successful mechanisms. This shift in emphasis from evaluating success to identifying profound challenges is a key takeaway.
