Abstract

Digital cultural preservation is becoming increasingly important in the digital 4.0 era, where the digital native generation has a central role in the use of digital technology. Libraries and librarians as custodians of knowledge and culture must engage the digital native generation in cultural digital preservation efforts. However, effective strategies and approaches need to be developed to ensure their active participation in this preservation. This study takes a qualitative approach to data collection, including in-depth interviews and a literature review. Data analysis was conducted using thematic techniques to identify strategies and approaches used in engaging the digital native generation. This study found that, several strategies and approaches were found to be effective in engaging the digital native generation in cultural digital preservation. Firstly, libraries should provide easy and intuitive access to cultural digital resources for the digital native generation. Second, a collaborative and participatory approach involves them in the process of curating and determining the direction of cultural digital preservation. Third, training and educational programs should be organized to improve digital literacy and understanding of the importance of digital cultural preservation. This study concluded that engaging digital native in digital cultural preservation requires a holistic and multifaceted approach. Libraries and librarians need to adopt strategies that are responsive to the needs and preferences of digital native. In the digital era 4.0, digital cultural preservation is not just a task for libraries, but a shared responsibility to ensure the sustainability and accessibility of digital cultural heritage for current and future generations.

Abstract

Libraries have long been recognized as key institutions in democratizing access to knowledge and information, yet users with visual impairments still face significant barriers to accessing these resources. The purpose of this research is to explore how adaptive technologies can improve accessibility and inclusivity in libraries for users with visual impairments. Using a qualitative methodology involving in-depth interviews and content analysis of library websites, this study assessed the effectiveness of current adaptive technologies and identified barriers to their use. The results show that, although adaptive technologies such as screen readers and indoor navigation systems hold great potential to improve user experience, there are still gaps in implementation and library staff awareness of the specific needs of visually impaired users. The conclusions of this study emphasize the importance of holistic integration of adaptive technologies in library service strategies to ensure equal access. Based on these findings, this paper recommends better staff training, the development of strong inclusive policies, and collaboration with disabled people's organizations to improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of libraries, thus supporting wider social participation of visually impaired users.
