Abstract

Library digitization is key to enhancing accessibility and the utilization of information in order to improve educational literacy in the digital era. South Sulawesi, as part of Indonesia’s rapidly developing region, needs to strengthen its information infrastructure, such as digital libraries, to address users' behavior towards technological advancements. The objective of this research is to analyze the implementation of the library digitization system in South Sulawesi by evaluating implementation strategies, identifying success factors and challenges, and understanding its impact on library services and public access to information. This research employs a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data analysis in parallel. Quantitatively, surveys (both offline and online) were conducted to collect data on implementation strategies, success factors, and barriers to library digitization. Qualitatively, in-depth interviews and document analysis were used to explore the impact of library digitization on services and public access to information. The results show that the level of library digitization implementation in South Sulawesi remains low. Existing digitization strategies vary but are generally hindered by limited infrastructure and human resources. Success factors include government support and collaboration with other institutions, while the main challenges involve insufficient funding, resistance to change, and low digital literacy among the population. The positive impacts of digitization include improved access to information and better quality library services, although there are still challenges in maintaining the systems. Key recommendations include improving infrastructure, staff training, and increasing public digital literacy.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology demands that learners acquire information literacy skills from an early age as part of 21st-century competencies. Information literacy encompasses not only the ability to search for and use information but also the skills to evaluate, process, and present information critically and ethically. In the context of primary education, the curriculum and school library play a strategic role in laying the foundation for information literacy from an early stage. This study aims to explore how the integration of information literacy into the primary education curriculum is implemented in elementary schools in Enrekang Regency, as well as how school libraries contribute to supporting this process. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method in three elementary schools that have active library programs. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with teachers, librarians, and principals; observation of literacy activities; and document analysis (lesson plans, syllabi, and library programs). The findings indicate that the integration of information literacy remains incidental and is not yet structured within the formal curriculum. School libraries have made efforts to become open learning spaces, yet their role has not been fully optimized due to limited resources and coordination among school stakeholders. The implication is that supportive policies are needed to systematically strengthen information literacy through curriculum integration, teacher training, and the revitalization of school libraries as literacy centers and learning resource hubs.
