Serdang, 20 May 2025 – The Tun Seri Lanang Library of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) conducted a benchmarking visit to the Media, Archive and Preservation Division of the Sultan Abdul Samad Library, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) on 20 May 2025.

The main objective of the visit was to gain exposure to archival and museum management, preservation of library and archival materials, as well as the digitization processes currently being implemented by UPM Library.
