Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology and the intensive use of social media among Generation Z have raised significant concerns regarding digital communication ethics. Although digital literacy is considered an important factor in shaping ethical communication behavior, empirical studies examining this relationship, particularly among university students, remain limited. This study aims to determine the level of digital literacy, the level of communication ethics, and the relationship between digital literacy and communication ethics among Generation Z social media users at the Faculty of Languages and Arts, Universitas Negeri Padang. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 98 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation tests. The findings indicate that both digital literacy and communication ethics are categorized as good, and that a strong correlation exists between digital literacy and communication ethics among Generation Z social media users. This suggests that higher levels of digital literacy are associated with better ethical communication in digital interactions. The study concludes that digital literacy plays an important role in supporting ethical social media communication. Its contribution lies in emphasizing the need to strengthen digital literacy programs integrated with communication ethics development in educational settings to promote more responsible digital behavior.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the high vulnerability of rare collections to physical, chemical, and biological deterioration, particularly in tropical environments with limited environmental control. Despite their substantial historical and cultural value, preservation strategies in specialized libraries remain insufficiently integrated and optimized. This study aims to analyze rare collection preservation strategies at the UPT Bung Hatta Proclamator Library based on the Preservation Pyramid Theory and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting their implementation. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Six informants were purposively selected, comprising the head of preservation, preservation team members, a conservator, librarians, and a user. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that preservation strategies have been implemented across four levels: preventive conservation, passive conservation, active conservation, and restoration, with preventive conservation as the dominant strategy. These efforts include environmental control using dehumidifiers, silica gel, and thermohygrometers, as well as restricted access policies. However, several limitations remain, including budget constraints, suboptimal storage facilities, and inconsistent documentation practices. Active conservation and restoration have been relatively well implemented with support from trained conservators, although technical constraints persist. The study concludes that rare collection preservation at the UPT Bung Hatta Proclamator Library has been implemented but is not yet fully integrated across strategic and operational levels. Its contribution lies in demonstrating the relevance of the Preservation Pyramid Theory for evaluating rare collection management in specialized libraries and emphasizing the need for stronger institutional policies, preservation-standard facilities, and enhanced human resource capacity to ensure sustainable rare collection preservation.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of information technology has transformed students’ learning environments, requiring not only the ability to access digital information but also the capacity to regulate learning independently. However, the relationship between digital literacy and self-regulated learning in higher education remains insufficiently examined, particularly among Library and Information Science students. This study aims to identify the levels of digital literacy and self-regulated learning and to examine the effect of digital literacy on self-regulated learning among students of the Library and Information Science Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. A quantitative approach was employed, involving a population of 259 students, from which 72 respondents were selected through stratified proportional sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on validated indicators and analyzed using simple linear regression. The findings show that both digital literacy and self-regulated learning are at a high level. The regression results indicate that digital literacy has a positive and statistically significant effect on self-regulated learning (Y = 11.107 + 0.670X; p < .05), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.378, indicating that digital literacy explains 37.8% of the variance in self-regulated learning. These findings demonstrate that digital literacy plays an important role in enhancing students’ ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning processes. This study contributes to the literature on digital learning and information science by providing empirical evidence of the relationship between digital literacy and self-regulated learning. Practically, the findings imply that strengthening digital literacy through curriculum integration and instructional strategies is essential to support autonomous learning and improve the quality of higher education.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the increasing volume of digital information that may lead to information overload among students, particularly when using digital academic references. The main problem addressed in this research is students’ limited ability to select, evaluate, and effectively use information amid the abundance of available sources. This study aims to analyze the effect of information literacy on students’ information overload in the use of digital academic references. A quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design was employed. The population consisted of students from the Library and Information Science Program at Universitas Negeri Padang from the 2023–2025 cohorts, with a total sample of 73 respondents selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and preliminary interviews and analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The findings indicate that information literacy has a significant effect on information overload, with a significance value of p < .001 and a t-value of 5.611. The coefficient of determination of 30.7% shows that information literacy contributes to students’ ability to manage information overload. These findings suggest that higher levels of information literacy enhance students’ capacity to select, evaluate, and use digital academic references effectively, thereby minimizing the risk of information overload. This study contributes to the literature on information literacy and digital academic behavior by providing empirical evidence of the role of information literacy in managing excessive information exposure. Practically, the findings imply the need to strengthen information literacy programs in higher education to improve students’ critical and effective use of digital academic references.
