The Determinants of Smart Public Library Roles in Promoting Open Government in Indonesia

This article substantiates the roles and identifies the key determinants of public libraries in providing smart services and programs promoting public engagement in open government. Using data from a survey of public libraries in Bojonegoro regency and Malang city in East Jawa, Indonesia, this study ascertained the public library’s roles in generating values through the provision of means, tools, and improving the public’s capabilities to engage with the government online. This study argues that public libraries in Indonesia strive to provide values by offering smart programs and services focusing on information, technology, and digital literacy training and classes to improve the public’s experience in engaging within an open government environment. Our study further highlights that funding and budgeting systems, policies, regulations, laws, and technological infrastructures are vital in determining public libraries’ roles in providing smart services and programs. Foremost, this study corroborates the crucial roles of policies, laws, and regulations as the fundamental elements determining public libraries’ likelihood of providing values by offering smart programs and services supporting the open government, notably in developing countries with a less stable political situation.

Dluwang Manuscripts from Royal Surakarta, Indonesia: Deterioration Phenomena and Care Practices

ABSTRACT This paper concerns a large Indonesian manuscript collection written on dluwang, a mulberry paper traditionally produced in Indonesia. This study documents the current condition and deterioration of these precious manuscripts at Rekso Pustoko, a royal library at the Mangkunegaran Palace, Surakarta, in the province of Central Java. Rekso Pustoko is one of the oldest libraries in Indonesia. Manuscript and environmental condition surveys and structured interviews were conducted to gain an understanding of the history of care and current condition of the collection and a detailed understanding of the damage that has occurred to the dluwang manuscripts. The manuscripts are in a relatively damaged condition. Most of the damage is associated with use and environmental conditions from pre-modern times, including previous storage conditions and pest damage. Issues discussed are temperature and relative humidity, enclosures, storage cabinets, pest control, access, and handling. The interview responses provide insight into the history of care and the current concerns, which also reveal that limited resources (financial, facilities, training to gain new expertise) are obstacles at present. This study results in recommendations to minimize the risks of future deterioration of the manuscripts. These recommendations include improvements to the depository and storage cabinet environmental conditions and the development of modern pest management following integrated pest management standards, as well as professionalizing holistic preservation care.

A Preliminary Study of Indonesian Academic Libraries Digital Disaster Preparedness

Academic libraries are one of the vital institutions that collect and manage the intellectual and cultural output of human beings, both in print and digital forms. Along with the growth of digital collections, the threats to or vulnerability of those collections are also increasing. This paper aims to describe the digital disaster preparedness measures implemented by respondent academic libraries in Indonesia that participated in the study. The study was conducted in Jakarta, Indonesia. The finding shows that even though libraries have taken steps to protect their digital data and collections, most of the libraries that participated in this study do not have a written digital disaster preparedness policy and had never conducted a risk analysis of the potential for digital disasters in their institutions. This research recommends that the libraries need to do a risk assessment first to prevent and manage any potential disaster.

Influence of satisfaction and loyalty on Net Promoter Score (NPS) in academic libraries in Indonesia

PurposeThis study aims to determine the NPS score of state academic libraries users in Indonesia, the relationship between user loyalty and NPS scores and the relationship between user satisfaction with NPS.Design/methodology/approachThe method used in this research is quantitative explanatory method, which surveyed the relationship between satisfaction, loyalty and NPS variables based on the development of previous studies and existing theories. The population in this study were students visiting the state university library in Surabaya, Indonesia, namely Library A, Library B, Library C and Library D. The total number of samples taken was 200 divided equally to each of the universities, with 50 respondents respectively. Data collection was done with a questionnaire.FindingsThe Result shows that NPS value for academic library in Indonesia was 8. (1) The probability value of satisfaction with NPS is 0.18 (greater than 0.01) so H1 is rejected, meaning that satisfaction has no significant effect on NPS, (2) The probability value of satisfaction with loyalty is < 0.01 so that H0 is accepted. This means that satisfaction has a significant effect on loyalty and (3) The probability value of loyalty to NPS is < 0.01 so that H0 is accepted. This indicates that loyalty has a significant effect on NPS.Research limitations/implicationsTo get user satisfaction, libraries need to improve facilities and services in accordance with the characteristics and needs of users, so that user expectations will be met and achieve satisfaction. When user satisfaction has been fulfilled, user loyalty to library products will be formed, so the NPS score will increase which is manifested by users recommending the library to others. This research has limitations, namely that the object of research is only in public higher education centers, so for generalization it is necessary to add research objects such as private college libraries, public libraries or school libraries.Originality/valueResearch on loyalty by using NPS has not been done much especially in Indonesia. This study also examines the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty on NPS scores.

Hubungan knowledge sharing dengan inovasi pengelola taman baca masyarakat di Jawa Barat

The world is now facing the phenomenon of hypercompetition, where working procedure is required to change to be more dynamic and modern. This phenomenon covers all aspects, including Indonesian library world and Indonesian literacy. Faced with new problems, Indonesian library world and Indonesian literacy has actually been trying to solve its old issue: the low level of Indonesian literacy. Community Reading Park (TBM) exists with the aim of increasing the level of Indonesian literacy. However, many newly established TBMs tend to be static and traditional, which are no longer relevant to modern times. West Java Community Reading Park Forum (West Java FTBM) is present to help TBMs stay relevant with present situation. In its activities, West Java FTBM applies Knowledge Management in general and Knowledge Sharing in particular. This study examines the role of Knowledge Sharing and how much it relates to innovation in TBM managers. Knowledge Sharing itself has two dimensions, namely; Knowledge Donating and Knowledge Collecting. The population in this study was West Java FTBM, with a sample of 67 TBM managers. The method used was quantitative with correlational analysis, and hypotheses testing was done by testing Knowledge Donating, Collecting, and Sharing with Manager’s Innovations. The research results of Knowledge Donating, Collecting, and Sharing each had relationship with Manager’s Innovation, with the coefficient of determination, sequentially, 17.47%; 20.88%; and 27.66%. This shows that Manager’s Innovation in West Java FTBM was not created solely because of Knowledge Sharing, but many other factors affected it, one of which is the length of one's experience in managing TBM. In the future, the implementation of Knowledge Sharing in West Java FTBM is expected to be even more dynamic by expanding references to things innovated and collaborating with other communities, this is to add a new point of view for TBM Managers in West Java FTBM

The usability of the Indonesian Library's website has not been well accepted by students of batch 2016 and 2019, although there are differences in scores between the two batches. Because the SUS score is below average and below acceptable, further research can be conducted using different method or instrument to identify the existing problems.

THE TERM OF DOCUMENTATION IN THE CONTEXT OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE EDUCATION IN INDONESIA FROM THE 1950’S TO 2010’S

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of teaching institutions in Indonesia. The term documentation in the Indonesian library and information Sciences (LIS), which is a translated version of the word “documentatie,” was introduced in the early 1950s by the Training Course for Library Staff as an activity that involves the acquisition, processing, storage and retrieval of documents. Furthermore, the method adopted historically involves the examination of existing historical sources, usually articles, institutional reports, examining textbooks. Moreover, it was reported that documentation is different from library activities, which subsequently extended to the application in government offices. This variation impacts on the daily life, based on the fact that documentation is more concerned with on non-printed materials, laying emphasis on the processing of newspapers and journals, and the movement towards natural sciences. Conversely, the library is concerned with printed data on books, with works that are limited to social sciences and humanities. However, the growing impacts of internet information technology on librarianship and research progress in the aspect of related sciences lead to a query on the similarity and variation between both terms in Indonesia. In the mid-2010s, the Ministry of Research and Higher Education issued a regulation under the auspices of Information Sciences cluster, insinuating the existence of programs, which include (1) Information Science and (2) Library and Information Science (LIS). This paper, however, accepted the concept of variation between Information Science, LIS and documentation, leading to the submission of some suggestions based on its content as a course study in Indonesia. Furthermore, there are no mentions of documentation in this dimension, owing to its obsolete modified meanings. Keywords: Library and Information Sciences, LIS Education, Education program, Documentation Term

MENGUKUR TINGKAT KEMAPANAN PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) DI PERPUSTAKAAN

The implementation of various forms of information technology in the library has been carried out in an effort to meet the diverse needs of library users. One of them is RFID technology. The technology that was originally used in the manufacturing industry has now been used in libraries. Several libraries in Indonesia have implemented this technology since 2007. At this time the libraries were quite familiar with the technology. But the library that applies RFID technology requires a study of the application of this technology. It aims to determine the reliability of the application of RFID technology in the library. In addition to knowing what deficiencies need to be corrected. This article aims to offer a method as a means to measure the level of establishment of a library in applying RFID technology in it. The method offered is with the COBIT framework, or COBIT Framework.

Program Evaluation Certification of Indonesian Library Competence

Librarian Work Competency Certification Program has been implemented since 2013. The significance and sustainability of the program's implementation need to be evaluated comprehensively to give decision makers the sustainability of the program going forward. The evaluation uses the context, input, process, product (CIPP) model by analyzing the objectives, planning, implementation planning and the certification program results. The study was conducted at the Jakarta Librarian Professional Certification Institute (LSP) competency test site. Based on interview data, focus group discussions, observations, and study of related documents it is known that the program has been carried out by applicable procedures and regulations. So that in general, the Librarian LSP is eligible to provide a certificate of competence to the librarian following the results of the competency certification test package that is followed. However, there are still several aspects that need to be corrected and refined immediately, bearing in mind that the certification program has an impact on librarians for career development and increasing competitive value for their parent institutions. Optimizing the performance of Librarian LSPs or the formation of other forms of Librarian LSPs is needed to accelerate the certification of Indonesian librarians.
