Analysis of TikTok Utilization as a Reference Source for Students of UIN North Sumatra Library Science Study Program

In the context of the digital era, social media integration has become an integral aspect of daily routines, especially among university students, as part of their social and academic lives. This study investigates the utilization of TikTok as a reference source for Library Science students at UIN North Sumatra. The phenomenon of social media, especially TikTok, has taken center stage in daily life, especially among university students. However, in addition to its benefits, social media also brings negative impacts, including the risk of addiction and the spread of false information. Although TikTok offers educational content, the findings in this study show that not all students use it as a reference source. Some students may prefer other platforms or traditional methods to find academic references, such as books and scientific journals. This suggests that although TikTok has potential as a reference source, its use has not been fully adopted by the entire population of Library Science students. This research uses a qualitative approach by applying Miles and Huberman's theory as the basis for analysis in the process of collecting, reducing, presenting data, and drawing conclusions.

Exploring Students’ Perception of Quizizz as a Learning Media in Higher Education

The use of game in education has been evidenced to improve students’ engagement in learning. However, much research shows that the use of game in learning is only effective for high school students, while its use for students of higher education is limited. Research on game in education has predominantly been occupied by Kahoot! while Quizizz has received less analysis. This research aims to explore student perception of Quizizz as a learning media and the related obstacles experienced in a library science study program of State Islamic University of North Sumatera in Indonesia. The research uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, such as survey and focused group discussion, with a sample of 272 undergraduate students. The study found that the use of games in learning actively increased student engagement and led to a significant improvement in independence and self-control in learning. During the learning activity students maintain that they gain their self-confidence while enjoying the game. The research suggests that to increase learning achievement, educators should use various teaching strategies that encourage students’ active mental and physical engagement. Additionally, it is expected that this learning experience and content will enhance students' retentive memory.

Perilaku Pencarian Informasi dengan Menggunakan Portal Jurnal Elektronik “ScienceDirect” dalam Pemenuhan Kebutuhan Informasi Mahasiswa

This research discusses "Information Search Behavior Using the Electronic Journal Portal "ScienceDirect" in Fulfilling Student Information Needs". The subject matter of this research is the information search behavior of students of the Library Science Study Program at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. This type of research uses descriptive methods, with a qualitative research approach. This approach aims to identify information search behavior using ScienceDirect Information search behavior using the ScienceDirect electronic journal portal has conducted searches using the stages put forward by Ellis. The results showed that the purpose of information searchers using ScienceDirect was to find references in completing coursework and looking for journals only as reading material. The information sought is articles related to courses majoring in library science and looking for scientific papers on losing weight. In Ellis' theory, there are 8 stages that are passed in the information search process, namely, starting, chaining, browsing, differenting, monitoring, extracting, verifying, and ending. From the analysis, it can be concluded that all informants go through these 8 stages to get the information they need. Some of the differences between using ScienceDirect and using other portals: (a) Availability of articles (sometimes in ScienceDirect not in other portals, and vice versa) (b) Articles obtained are in English, other portals use Indonesian (c) Provides scientific papers from international authorized authors Some obstacles in searching for information using ScienceDirect electronic journals: (a) The articles searched are not very complete (b) Articles in English (c) Network constraints (d) Many paid articles (e) Having to register Many articles are paid (e) Must register for an account (f) Search settings are not easy.

Persepsi Mahasiswa Program Studi Ilmu Perpustakaan Di Lingkungan Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri (PTKIN) Tentang Prospek Kerja Lulusan

A SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE EMERGING TOPICS IN GENERAL COMPUTER SCIENCE

Citations have been an acceptable journal performance metric used by many indexing databases for inclusion and discontinuation of journals in their list. Therefore, editorial teams must maintain their journal performance by increasing article citations for continuous content indexing in the databases. With this aim in hand, this study intended to assist the editorial team of the Journal of Information and Communication Technology (JICT) in increasing the performance and impact of the journal. Currently, the journal has suffered from low citation count, which may jeopardise its sustainability. Past studies in library science suggested a positive correlation between keywords and citations. Therefore, keyword and topic analyses could be a solution to address the issue of journal citation. This article described a scientometric analysis of emerging topics in general computer science, the Scopus subject area for which JICT is indexed. This study extracted bibliometric data of the top 10% journals in the subject area to create a dataset of 5,546 articles. The results of the study suggested ten emerging topics in computer science that can be considered by the journal editorial team in selecting articles and a list of highly used keywords in articles published in 2019 and 2020 (as of 15 April 2020). The outcome of this study might be considered by the JICT editorial team and other journals in general computer science that suffer from a similar issue.
