Abstract

This study analyzes the workload of functional librarians at the Library Technical Implementing Unit (UPA) of Riau University. The aim is to identify the librarians' main duties and responsibilities, analyze the level of workload, and provide strategic recommendations for optimizing job allocation. The research employed a mixed-method approach using a case study design, combining quantitative and qualitative data. Data collection involved observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The research findings indicate that: 1) The main duties and responsibilities carried out by librarians at the UPA Library of Riau University are grouped into four major functions: collection processing/technical services, user/patron services, education and information literacy development, and library management and administration. 2) The workload of librarians at the UPA Library of Riau University is not proportionally distributed, with the majority of time (45%) consumed by technical tasks such as cataloging and classification. This gap creates an overload that triggers psychological challenges and hinders strategic duties such as self-development, information literacy education, and library promotion. 3) The study recommends three main steps: (a) Task redistribution to create a more balanced division of labor. (b) Competency improvement and technology adoption, such as automation, to reduce the manual workload. (c) Performance evaluation based on outcomes to encourage a focus on tasks with greater impact. This study contributes by presenting specific empirical data and tailored solutions for the UPA Library of Riau University, which can serve as a foundation for management in enhancing library efficiency and service quality.

Abstract

The transformation of the role of university libraries requires staff to transform from information curators to educators (instructional librarians). However, the lack of a pedagogical background in education presents a significant obstacle to the implementation of information literacy classes. This study aims to analyze the level of pedagogical competency knowledge and instructional readiness of staff at the University of Riau (UNRI) Library following training in teaching techniques. This quantitative descriptive study employed a total sampling approach involving 30 respondents, consisting of 20 functional librarians and 10 library technical staff. Primary data were collected through a 10-item binary objective post-test instrument based on classroom scenarios (scenario-based assessment), covering four dimensions of pedagogical competency. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed a mean post-test score of 66.33 (Good category), with 66.67% (20 staff) deemed to be in the safe zone of readiness to teach. Classroom management/public interaction (93.33%) and active teaching methods (83.33%) were key strengths for staff. Conversely, aspects of managing user psychology related to mitigating information anxiety/library anxiety (46.67%) and handling sudden technical teaching challenges (50.00%) were critical weaknesses experienced by staff. This study concluded that training interventions were able to improve staff's collective teaching readiness, but strengthening based on psychological empathy and mitigating digital infrastructure remains critically needed. The UNRI Library management is recommended to implement a collaborative teaching system (team teaching) between senior librarians and technical staff to standardize the quality of academic information literacy classes.

Abstract

The effectiveness of the physical management and maintenance of library materials is a crucial indicator in ensuring the sustainability of knowledge transfer in university libraries. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the achievement of quality targets to ensure they are not merely an administrative formality. This study aims to descriptively evaluate the achievement of the Collection Care Quality Targets at the Riau University Library UPA in 2024, identify factors inhibiting the handling of damaged books, and formulate strategic improvement recommendations for management. The research method used is a descriptive quantitative approach by analyzing secondary data sourced from the formal document, the Book Repair Recapitulation Form, document number 12-820/Lib.UR/F-09, through observation and descriptive analysis techniques. The results show that the actual annual performance of the preservation unit reached 95%, obtained from the successful restoration of 424 copies of books from a total of 446 damaged collections. This achievement demonstrates that the institution's Quality Target target (at least 80% per year) was successfully exceeded with a performance surplus of 15%. However, monthly analysis shows fluctuations, with the lowest performance point in November (73%), and a backlog of 22 damaged books at the end of the year. The study's conclusions confirm that preservation governance has been very effective, but operational obstacles remain in the form of workflow bottlenecks due to the high complexity of tracking content or missing pages. As a strategic recommendation, libraries are advised to strengthen component logistics management by establishing a digital critical page database system and digitizing reporting control forms into a real-time monitoring dashboard to prevent a backlog of damaged books at the end of the period.

Abstract

Technological developments and the penetration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have triggered the phenomenon of information overload and information anxiety among students. On the other hand, the utilization of digital assets at the University of Riau Library is still relatively low, thus triggering low-quality references and a high risk of plagiarism in student scientific papers. This study aims to describe the design, implementation strategy, and core materials of the "Academic Information Literacy Class" as a structured intervention step by the library. The program implementation method applies a Blended Learning and Project-Based Learning approach based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum. The core learning materials are focused on three main operational pillars: advanced scientific information retrieval techniques, strategies for selecting reputable journal publication media, and education on the legal and ethical use of AI in preparing research proposals. The analysis results show that the establishment of this structured class has proven effective in improving research independence, the quality of scientific writing, and student awareness of academic integrity. Through this program, the University of Riau Library has successfully adaptively transformed its role from merely a place to store physical collections (book repository) to a driver of academic quality (research facilitator).

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (generative AI) technology and the phenomenon of information overload are changing the research landscape in higher education, requiring a repositioning of the role of librarians. Academic librarians are no longer simply collection managers but must transform into primary instructors in information literacy classes. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the librarian's instructional role by integrating the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Using a contextual-analytical approach, this paper examines how the six threshold concepts of ACRL are applied to curriculum design, critical evaluation of information sources, academic ethics, and navigating the ethical use of AI. Furthermore, this article identifies various obstacles in the field—such as the limited duration of one-shot sessions and gaps in librarian pedagogical competencies—and formulates strategies for optimizing these through blended learning and strengthening structural collaboration with faculty. In conclusion, the integration of the ACRL framework into librarian instruction is an essential pillar for developing students' critical thinking skills and maintaining the integrity of academic institutions in the digital age.
