The purpose of this study is to analyze the efforts of the Islamic Library and Information Science Program (Prodi IPII) at IAIN Curup in creating professional and competitive librarians for the era of 5.0. This research is descriptive and qualitative. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that Prodi IPII has several strengths, such as an adaptive curriculum in line with current advancements, competent and dedicated lecturers, and various student competence development programs. However, there are also weaknesses that need to be addressed, such as integrating Islamic values into the curriculum and ensuring all lecturers are proficient in information technology.
