1. INTRODUCTION
Toda y technology is experiencing ra pid growth. These technologica l developments a re perva sive in va rious a spects of life such a s, economic, socia l, cultura l, educa tiona l, hea lth, politica l, defense, security, a nd many other a spects tha t begin to follow the development of technology.One of the technologica l developments that we ca n feel toda y is the crea tion of a n informa tion system tha t ca n be used to fa cilita te users in obta ining informa tion.
Libra ry informa tion system is a system in which there is a public service orga niza tion a nd a ims to reconcile the needs of libra ry tra nsa ctions in order to support opera tiona l libra ry tha t is ma na geria l (Sirega r, 2007: 137).
This system helps libra ria ns in a ccomplishing their a dministra tive work in a ddition, libra ry informa tion system ca n a lso help the visitors in getting informa tion rela ted books a va ila ble in the libra ry.
One of the libra ry informa tion system tha t ca n be obta ined free of cha rge is SLiMS (Sena ya n Libra ry Ma na gement System). SLiMS is a n open source libra ry ma nagement system softwa re licensed under the GPL v3. This a pplica tion wa s first developed a nd used by the Libra ry of the Ministry of Na tiona l Educa tion, Informa tion Center a nd Public Rela tions, Ministry of Na tiona l Educa tion. As time goes by, this a pp is then developed by the user community a nd SLiMS a ctivists. The SLiMS system is built using PHP, MySQL da ta base, a nd Git version controllers (Sena ya n Developer Community, 2015: 2).
The a dva ntages of this SLiMS which is this system ca n be obta ined a n d used for free, a ble to meet the needs of libra ry a utomation, SliMS built using the progra mming la ngua ge interpreter other tha n tha t the system is developed by loca l huma n resources, the further a dva ntages da lah insta lla tion of this system feels very ea sy,
system ha s complete documenta tion, clea r development prospects, a nd the la tter ha s a communica tion forum between users a nd developers ma king it ea sier to excha nge informa tion (Aziza h, 2013: 9 ). In a ddition to the a dva ntages, this system a lso ha s a deficiency of the recommended web browser compa tibility using only mozila firefox a nd the sha ring of file permissions tha t still need to be fixed (Aziz a h, 2013: 13).
In a ddition to SLiMS, TeknoLIB (Libra ry Ma na gement System) ca n a lso be used a s a n a lterna tive to meet the needs of libra ry informa tion systems a nd a lso ca n be obta ined for free. This web -ba sed informa tion system using PHP progra mming la ngua ge with CI Fra mework (Codeigniter), a nd MySQL a s its da ta ba se. In the opera tion of this system ca n be integra ted with ba rcode sca nner so a s to speed up the process of recording the code of books a nd members, in a ddition the use of ba rcodes ca n minimize t he error of libra ria ns in entering da ta .
The a dva ntage of TeknoLIB is to ha ve a free libra ry ma il fea ture that can be used to complete the a dministra tion of the users in need, the visitor presence fea ture to fa cilita te the officer in reca ping the visitors , the report print fea ture is a da pted to the needs of the libra ry, a nd the la st is the displa y menu more ea sy to understa nd by the libra ria n. In a ddition to the a dva ntages, this system a lso ha s deficiencies such a s this system only, in a ddition in the regula tion of the a mount of fines on ea ch book ha s the sa me nomina l while the nomina l a mount of fines per book should be different, a nd in this system is still found the length of borrowing equa lly leveled, while ea ch books ha ve different interests a nd lengths of borrowing.
A softwa re is a ssessed through certa in mea sures through softwa re testing. One of the ISO 9126 softwa re qua lity benchma rks ma de by Interna tiona l Orga niza tion for Sta nda rdiza tion (ISO) a nd Interna tional Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). ISO 9126 defines the qua lity of softwa re products, models, qua lity cha ra cteristics, and rela ted metrics used to eva lua te a nd define the qua lity of a softwa re product. There a re 6 qua lity mea sures defined by ISO 9126, na mely functiona lity, relia bility, usa bilit y, efficiency, porta bility, a nd ma inta inability.
The purpose of this study wa s to compa re the qua lity of informa tion systems of a libra ry by using informa tion libra ry systems TeknoLIB a nd SLiMS ba sed on ISO 9126 sta nda rds. In a ddition, this resea rch is a lso expected to provide benefits to developers of libra ry informa tion systems a nd a s a recommenda tion tha t the information system to be built ca n meet the libra ry's functiona l requirements a re independent of ISO 9126 sta nda rds.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
Da ta collection in this resea rch is done through 4 wa ys na mely questionna ire, observa tion, interview, and documenta tion. The questionna ire technique is some questions or written sta tements a bout fa ctual da ta or opinions rela ting to the opinions of respondents, a nd considered fa cts or truths tha t ha ve been known a nd need to be a nswered by respondents (Anwa r, 2009: 168). Questionna ire technique in the form of questionna ire of resea rch instrument with some sta tement based on ISO 9126 sta ndard then developed a nd a da pted to functional requirement of libra ry. The next step is to test the instrument to Libra ria n SMK Tekno -SA Sura ka rta who has experience in using both informa tion systems such a s TeknoLIB a nd SLiMS.
The second wa y of collecting da ta is by observa tion technique. Sutrisno Ha di, in (Sugiyono, 2007: 203) a rgues tha t, observa tion is a complex process, a process composed of va rious biologica l a nd psychologica l processes.
Two of the most importa nt a re the processes of observa tion a nd memory. At this sta ge the re sea rchers observe directly a nd simula te TeknoLIB a nd SLiMS to obta in the necessa ry da ta . In this technique resea rchers try the fea tures conta ined in ea ch informa tion system to determine the involvement of ISO 9126 in building the system.
The third technique is the interview. Interviews a re da ta collection techniques tha t a re ba sed on self -report or a t lea st on self-knowledge a nd belief (Sugiyono, 2007: 194). This sta ge is done by collecting da ta through question a nd a nswer session unila tera lly done in a sy stema tic wa y a nd ba sed on resea rch objectives. This step is done by a sking questions directly a bout the development of ISO 9126 with the a va ila bility of system fea tures to SMK Tekno-SA Libra ria n Sura ka rta .
Documenta tion is to sea rch a nd collect da ta a bout things in the form of notes, tra nscripts, books, newspa pers, ma ga zines, notes, newsletters, a genda s, etc. (Arikunto, 2006: 158). This sta ge is done by studying informa tion rela ted to TeknoLIB a nd SLiMS.
3. RESEARCH RESULT AND DISCUSSION
After the resea rch da ta collected, then libra ry informa tion system TeknoLIB a nd SLiMS a na lyzed ba sed on ISO 9126 sta ndard. Ta ble 1. is a ta ble compa rison system using ISO 9126 sta nda rds tha t ha ve been developed.

Ga mba r 6. The displa y of system menu on SliMS
From the interview, the a uthors dra w the a ctua l conclusions of ea ch system ha s shortcomings a nd a dva ntages.
For TeknoLIB this system ha s the disa dva ntage of ha ving fea tures tha t a re not too complete compared with SLiMS, besides TeknoLIB still need more development to be a ble to provide fea tures more a nd better.The a dva ntages of this system is the menu displa y tha t is ea sy to understa nd, this system ha s a print report fea ture tha t produces reports with a more orderly a rra n gement, in a ddition this system a lso ha s a fea ture of visitor presence tha t we do not find on SLiMS.
While in SLiMS, this system a lso ha s some disa dva nta ges a nd a dva ntages, a mong others, the la ck of this system is the displa y menu tha t is too ma ny fea tures so it looks very confusing, this fea ture a lso provides print report fea ture but the report printed ha s a forma t tha t is not in a ccorda nce with the required, Other fea tures not a va ila ble in this system a re new book procurement request fea tures, a nd the la t ter does not provide visitor a ttenda nce fea tures. The a dva ntages of SLiMS is tha t this system ha s a la rge selection of fea tures tha t ca n be utilized to meet the needs of users
In the observa tiona l resea rch technique the resea rchers found some deficiencies a nd a dvantages in ea ch system.
TeknoLIB system ha s its dra wba cks i.e. ma ny of the fea tures provided is still minima list since it only refers the qua lity of the system on the functiona l needs of the Tekno -SA Voca tiona l High School Sura ka rta ’s libra ry.
In a ddition to support in ma king the system, it still considered deficient. But there a re some a dva ntages of this system is the a va ila bility of visitor a ttenda nce fea tures tha t a re not found on SLiMS, the a va ila bility of new
procurement suggestions book fea tures, reporting fea tures tha t produce print reports with a more orga nized forma t
4. CONCLUSION
Ba sed on the a bove resea rch ca n be concluded tha t TeknoLIB ha s shortcomings a nd a dva ntages, a mong others, TeknoLIB ha s a minima list fea ture compa red with SLiMS a s in Ta ble 1 number 5 so there a re still ma ny libra ries tha t still ha ve to use ma nua l system so tha t this system needs to be developed.The a dva ntages of this system is to ha ve a visitor a ttendance feature a nd book procurement a dvice fea ture tha t is not owned SLiMS, this system a lso ha s a report fea ture tha t produces print reports more suita ble tha n SLiMS for the needs of SMK Tekno-SA Sura ka rta , a nd the la st a dvantage is this system ha s menu fea tures that are more ea sily understood tha n SLiMS a s in Ta ble 1 number 8.
The shortcomings of SLiMS a re in the displa y fea tures of the menu is too complica ted, ma king it difficult for libra ria ns to complete the ta sk a s shown in Ta ble 1 number 8, in a ddition to reporting fea tures genera te print reports tha t a re still not orga nized nea tly a nd da ta flow on the system is too complica ted to be understood a s the extent of Ta ble 1 is number 6, so the libra ria n still uses ma nual wa y to crea te reports. The a dva ntages of this system lies in the ma ny fea tures tha t a re provided, so it helps the libra ria n in completing the ta sk there is a description of Ta ble 1 number 5.
