Abstract

SMS looks outdated in todays digital era. Perhaps because of that, library did not chose SMS as media for reference services. Existing research’s results prove different things with this assumption. Libraries in Indonesia itself seem do not use SMS as a medium in reference services. There is only the National Library of Indonesia (Perpusnas) which organized text reference services. This study sought understanding the conditions of text reference service at Perpusnas, including aspects of interpersonal communication. This research uses quantitative content analysis research on recorded text in text reference services. The results showed SMS has the potential to reach a wider market in the community for reference services. Text reference service at Perpusnas needs more planning, implementation, and evaluation which is found that sufficient length of the response time and the duration of the transaction. In addition, a reference librarian who runs the text reference service needs to pay attention to aspects of interpersonal communication which is a positive influence in the transaction reference.

Abstract

Background of the study: The decline in the utilization and user satisfaction of virtual reference services in the Library in Jakarta, Indonesia, indicates organizational dysfunction. Communication can be a cause and symptom of this organizational dysfunction. Purpose: This study aims to identify the source of problems in organizing virtual reference services. Method: This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and document studies. Data analysis was performed through data coding. Findings: Interaction among service team members and with other service teams occurred frequently. In contrast, the interaction between the service team and supervisor, chief supervisor, and unit leader was infrequent. The problem that appears on the surface is the failure of the management function. Conclusion: Examining organizational issues from a communication perspective can help identify the sources of dysfunction in organizing virtual reference services. A team-based work system does not necessarily result in good performance. This occurs because the behavior of organizational members is shaped not by communication within their environment but by their activities.
