The North Sumatra Provincial Library and Archives Office has a collection of 101,331 titles or 191,142 copies that have been input into library automation using the INLISLite application based on Resources Data Access (RDA). The North Sumatra Provincial Library and Archives Office shows that the cataloging system for library materials is also carried out by following standard guidelines for inventory, cataloging, determining subject headings, and classification. To make it easier for library users to find information, these activities should be carried out.
