According to the Deputy Chief Librarian, Noorul Farina Arifin, the use of this app supports the UMPSA30 Strategic Objective: Empowering Data-Driven Smart Campus Solutions (Strategic Objective 2A). “It is hoped that the LibGO app will become a catalyst for the transformation of library services towards a more dynamic and sustainable digital ecosystem. “Through this app, users can access services independently, thereby increasing efficiency, productivity, as well as the satisfaction level of students and UMPSA Library users,” she said. Meanwhile, the Senior Library Assistant, Mohd Azfarshah Azizan, said that LibGO has the potential to become the main reference platform for users in matters related to the library. “Although this app began as a material borrowing platform, it can be expanded with various facilities such as online payment, latest information, and other additional functions,” he said. The LibGO app can be used by both Android and iPhone (iOS) users, making it more easily accessible to all levels of the university community, regardless of the type of device used. According to a student from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology (FTKEE), Haikal Mohammed Zubil, the use of LibGO greatly facilitates students in searching for and borrowing books,
