Rector of Unud Prof. Ngakan Putu Gede Suardana in his speech said that his party had tried as hard as possible and that many things had been updated and improved of course in order to provide services to the entire academic community on the Udayana University campus. There is already a newly inaugurated building that is being used as a silent room, and this year Springer is joining in an effort to improve services to the academic community so that our education can truly progress.

The library is the heart of campus life. There have been 9 components prepared, hopefully what the assessors ask for can be facilitated by the librarians. Of course, the hope is that library accreditation will continue to achieve excellence, where the results of this accreditation also become a determinant in university accreditation.

The hope is that the value obtained will be in line with expectations. The basis for implementing this activity is Law Number 43 of 2007 concerning Libraries where libraries exist to fulfill the educational, research, preservation, information and recreational needs of users.
