Abstract

Background/Problem Statement: The increasing use of Instagram as a platform for information dissemination encouraged various literacy communities to use it for promotion and education. However, the utilization of the @bengkulu.membaca Instagram account continues to face challenges in enhancing user engagement and expanding user reach. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the utilization of Instagram @bengkulu.membaca through an infopreneurship approach. Method: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with the Public Relations and Documentation (Pubdekdok) team, the community founder, and followers. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Result: Instagram @bengkulu.membaca repackaged information through Canva-based infographics. The use of infographic carousel content as an information repackaging strategy successfully attracted followers’ attention and facilitated information dissemination and documentation. The infopreneurship approach implemented by the account also succeeded in establishing partnerships with sponsors and media partners to support literacy programs such as the donation of 1.000 books, seminars, and mosque reading corners. However, these partnerships primarily contributed to offline activities. Although the Bookstagram concept had been implemented, its effectiveness remained limited, as it had not yet successfully attracted new visitors.   Conclusion: The Bengkulu Membaca Community has used Instagram as a medium for information dissemination and fostering literacy community networks. This study shows that the use of Instagram by literacy communities is more effective in supporting social collaboration activities than in enhancing users’ digital literacy. These findings emphasize the need to strengthen digital interaction strategies so that Instagram functions not only as an information medium, but also as a community engagement platform.

Abstract

Background: Libraries face intensifying pressure to reconceptualise their services and spaces in response to shifting user behaviour and the emergent experience economy. Despite decades of scholarship on information-seeking behaviour, the literature still lacks a unified framework that simultaneously accounts for motivational types, purposive activities, and experiential place qualities in library encounters. Purpose: This paper introduces and empirically validates the Library T–A–P (Tourism Type–Activity–Place) framework, adapting Tongtep et al.’s T–A–P Triangle from special-interest tourism recommendation to theorise information-seeking behaviour dynamics within library environments. Method: A two-phase mixed-methods approach was employed: (1) a systematic conceptual analysis synthesising literature across library and information science, tourism studies, activity theory, and experience design, following Jabareen’s (2009) conceptual framework analysis methodology; and (2) a structured expert validation survey (n = 186 library and information professionals across 12 countries), using a 5-point Likert-scale instrument with T–A–P Coherence Scoring. Inter-rater reliability for data coding was assessed via Cohen’s kappa (κ = 0.81). Result: Eight Information Tourism Types were mapped onto a taxonomy of information activities and library place typologies. Validation confirmed strong T–A–P coherence across all categories (Grand Mean = 4.38/5.00), with Cultural Heritage Tourism (4.77) and Special-Interest Tourism (4.63) yielding highest coherence indices.  Conclusion: The Library T–A–P framework offers a theoretically grounded, triadic, activity-centred paradigm for library service design, space planning, and personalised information recommendation. While expert validation provides the framework's foundational construct validity, future empirical user studies are crucial for demand-side validation.

Abstract

Background: Digital transformation in higher education has encouraged the development of bookless library services as a flexible means of accessing academic information. However, previous studies have predominantly focused on service quality, technology acceptance, and user satisfaction, while students’ lived experiences as primary users of digital library services remain underexplored. Purpose: This study aims to understand students’ experiences in accessing bookless library services at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Method: This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological design. Eight students from different faculties and academic levels were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, limited participatory observation, and document review. Data analysis involved phenomenological reduction, identification of meaning units, theme development, and interpretation of participants’ experiences. Result: The findings revealed four major themes: (1) digital access as an extension of learning space and time, providing greater flexibility in obtaining academic resources; (2) the need for orientation in navigating interfaces and information retrieval pathways, as students still encounter difficulties in understanding available features; (3) the institutional repository as the most meaningful academic resource for thesis preparation and reference searching; and (4) technical barriers and digital literacy disparities that influence the effectiveness of service utilization.  Conclusion: The mobile library service plays a significant role in meeting the information needs of female inmates, but improvements are needed through collection diversification, increased procurement frequency, and the implementation of information literacy programs to make the service more relevant to their needs. Bookless library services have become an important part of students’ academic experiences by supporting flexible access to information and learning resources. Nevertheless, interface simplification, infrastructure improvement, and continuous information literacy programs are needed to optimize service utilization and enhance user experience.
