Abstract

Social inclusion-based library programs have been developed to strengthen libraries as spaces for learning, community empowerment, and equitable information access. However, their implementation continues to face challenges related to promotion, information dissemination, program continuity, and user participation, making evaluation from users’ perspectives essential. This study aimed to describe users’ perceptions of the social inclusion-based library program implemented at the Regional Archives and Library Office of West Sumatra Province. A quantitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. The study population consisted of 474 library users, from whom 87 respondents were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and Likert-scale questionnaires and were analyzed using descriptive statistics through mean and grand mean calculations. The findings revealed that users’ perceptions of the program were categorized as good, with an overall mean score of 3.16. The collection indicator obtained a mean score of 2.96, physical accessibility 3.21, marketing 3.16, partnership 3.18, program implementation 3.24, and training 3.26. These results indicate that the program positively supports information access, service accessibility, activity communication, collaborative engagement, program implementation, and users’ skills development. The study concludes that social inclusion-based library programs contribute positively to expanding learning opportunities and supporting community empowerment. These findings contribute to the literature on inclusive library services and provide practical implications for strengthening collection development, promotional strategies, partnerships, and service quality to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of social inclusion-based library programs.

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the SQ3R method (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) in improving university students’ academic reading comprehension and to identify the factors influencing its implementation in learning activities. The research applied a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytical design. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire based on a Likert scale distributed to 22 students. The research instrument consisted of 20 statements covering reading comprehension, concentration, memory retention, learning effectiveness, and the ease of using the SQ3R method. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and mean scores. The results indicated that most respondents gave positive responses toward the implementation of the SQ3R method. The method was considered effective in helping students better understand academic texts, identify main ideas, improve reading focus, strengthen memory retention, and support learning effectiveness. The stages of SQ3R encouraged students to read more actively, systematically, and purposefully compared to conventional reading methods. Furthermore, students showed a high level of interest in continuing to apply the method in their academic activities. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of the SQ3R method was also influenced by several factors, such as reading interest, study habits, learning environment, and students’ individual abilities. Therefore, the SQ3R method can be used as an alternative reading strategy to improve students’ academic literacy skills.
