Abstract: Managing e-book collections in digital libraries requires high efficiency and accuracy to meet library needs. The implementation of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with UiPath aims to automate manual processes in e-book management, including retrieving e-book descriptions, downloading covers, and uploading to library systems. This research aims to improve operational efficiency and quality of digital library services by developing RPA for e-book management in digital libraries. This research uses the waterfall model, which is a software development model with a systematic and sequential approach. The development stages are Identification, Analysis, Design, Development and Test, and Implementation. RPA E-book management with UiPath automates the download process of e-book covers, data collection of e-book bibliographic descriptions, and the process of managing and uploading e-books to the library system. The automation process succeeded in reducing manual errors in data input, thereby increasing the accuracy and consistency of e-book information. The research results indicate that the application of RPA in managing e-books in digital libraries is effective in increasing operational efficiency. Scenario-based workflow evaluations indicate that the automated system reduces processing duration from 15 minutes to 2 minutes per e-book. Under standard task-allocation modeling, this represents a 600% increase in output productivity (achieving 700% of the manual baseline output). This automation not only increases efficiency and data accuracy but also allows library staff to focus on other strategic tasks.
