Abstract

Background of the study: Increasingly extreme climate change requires libraries to develop microclimate management strategies to maintain valuable ecosystems. Purpose: This study aims to systematically review the literature on best practices for microclimate management in libraries, with a particular focus on temperature and humidity control. Method: Utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, this study screened and analyzed 25 scientific articles published between 2014 and 2024. Findings: The results of this study show that maintaining microclimate stability in libraries requires an integrated approach combining HVAC systems, ventilation strategies, and monitoring technologies. Automated control systems and natural ventilation strategies both play critical roles in achieving effective microclimate management tailored to the specific conditions of each library. Conclusion: Microclimate management in libraries is crucial for ensuring the long-term preservation of collections. Effective strategies tailored to local conditions not only safeguard valuable materials but also contribute to the sustainability of the storage environment. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating appropriate technologies and methods to support the continued conservation of library resources.

Abstract

The preservation of library collections, especially those made from organic materials such as paper and leather, is an important challenge in information management. Environmental factors such as uncontrolled temperature and relative humidity can accelerate the degradation of collections. This study aims to analyze the microclimate conditions in the manuscript collection room of the Universitas Indonesia (UI) Library to evaluate the risks to collection preservation. Temperature and relative humidity monitoring was carried out continuously for one month using data loggers in the UI Library's manuscript collection room. The data obtained were analyzed to calculate the Equivalent Lifetime Multiplier (eLM) value, an index that measures the impact of temperature on the lifespan of collections. The results showed that the average temperature in the collection room was 28.1°C, with an average relative humidity of 70.2%. The eLM value obtained was 0.209, indicating that the collection is at high risk of degradation with an effective lifespan of only 20.9% of its ideal lifespan. Significant temperature and humidity fluctuations were also observed during the monitoring period, especially when the HVAC system was not operating. In conclusion, the microclimate conditions in the UI Library's manuscript collection room are not ideal for long-term collection preservation, with high temperatures and humidity as well as fluctuations that accelerate degradation. This study recommends optimizing the HVAC system, continuous environmental monitoring, and further research to develop effective mitigation strategies.
