Abstract

This study examines the management of digital collections at the Library of SMAN 1 Babalan, which has experienced a decline in student utilization due to weak management systems and low digital literacy. The purpose of this research is to analyze how digital collection management can meet students’ information needs and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving librarians, the head librarian, and students. The findings show that digital collection management has not been fully optimized due to limitations in infrastructure, policy, and librarian competencies. However, the study also identifies potential improvement through digital literacy training and the implementation of user-needs-based collection management systems. This research concludes that the success of library digitalization depends on the integration of policy, technology, and information literacy within the school environment.
