Abstract

Background: Public libraries play a strategic role in fostering children’s literacy and lifelong learning by providing services that are inclusive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. However, children’s library services in many public libraries still face structural and managerial challenges that limit their effectiveness.Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the quality of children’s services at the Kabupaten Bandung Library and Archives Office (Dinas Perpustakaan dan Kearsipan Kabupaten Bandung) and to formulate development strategies based on identified conditions. This study fills a research gap by employing SWOT analysis specifically to evaluate children’s services in Kabupaten Bandung public library.Methods: This research employed a descriptive qualitative design with a field research approach. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with librarians involved in children’s services. The aspects examined included collections, facilities, programs and activities, as well as interactions between librarians and child users. Data were analyzed using the SWOT framework to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats affecting children’s services.Results: The results indicate that the library has provided basic child-friendly facilities and implemented several literacy-oriented programs. Nevertheless, key challenges remain, including limited inclusive and foreign-language collections, the absence of a dedicated children’s librarian, and programs that are largely dependent on external requests rather than internal planning. Based on the SWOT analysis, several strategic recommendations are proposed, such as strengthening and diversifying collections, improving child-friendly and inclusive facilities, enhancing cross-sector collaboration, and establishing specialized children’s librarian roles. Conclusion: A structured and strategic approach is essential to ensure the sustainable development of children’s services and to strengthen the role of public libraries as responsive literacy spaces for children.

Abstract

Background: As a disaster-prone nation, Indonesia requires robust disaster information literacy. Generation Z, as active social media users, demonstrates distinct patterns of selective exposure to earthquake information on Instagram, influenced by psychological needs, message relevance, and social context.Purpose: This study aims to analyze the psychological factors, message features, and social contexts that influence Generation Z’s selective exposure to local earthquake information on Instagram within the framework of disaster information literacy.Methods: Utilizing a qualitative case study approach centered on the Sumedang earthquake (June 31, 2025–November 5, 2025), this research employed in-depth interviews with six informants, focus group discussions, and visual discourse analysis of 45 posts from local Instagram accounts (@radarsumedang, @inimahsumedang, @tahuekspress, and @sumedangekspresnews). Interviews lasted 45-60 minutes each and were analyzed using NVivo 12 software.Results: Selective exposure is driven by trust, affective needs, and practical motivations. Message features—specifically Instagram Stories for rapid updates, feed posts for in-depth narratives, and infographics for clarity—play a critical role. Furthermore, the social context, including peer recommendations, comment-based verification, and the editorial strategies of local media, significantly shapes engagement. Generation Z demonstrates situational, heterogeneous, and dialogic interaction patterns with disaster information, balancing cognitive needs for accuracy with affective needs for emotional reassurance.Conclusions: Disaster information literacy for Generation Z requires a hybrid strategy that integrates speed, accuracy, empathy, and interactivity to strengthen community preparedness and resilience. This study extends Selective Exposure Theory by identifying "emotional certainty" as a novel motivation, enriches Uses and Gratifications Theory through situational gratifications, and advances Situational Crisis Communication Theory by emphasizing collective social validation in social media-based disaster contexts.

Abstract

Background: Chin migration from Myanmar to Mizoram has intensified due to political instability. Understanding how displaced populations develop information practices and navigate information barriers through digital platforms addresses critical gaps in Library and Information Science (LIS) research within migration contexts.Purpose: This study investigates information practices of Chin migrants in Aizawl, examining how social media platforms function as alternative information infrastructure supporting everyday life information seeking (ELIS), information literacy development, and participation in transnational information communities.Methods: Convergent mixed-methods research employed questionnaire surveys of 256 Chin migrants (206 adolescents aged 13–18; 50 adults aged 19+) selected via purposive and snowball sampling across four Aizawl localities, supplemented by five semi-structured key informant interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS; qualitative data underwent thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's framework.Results: YouTube (100%), WhatsApp (93%), and Instagram (88.8%) emerged as primary information sources among adolescents, functioning as hybrid information ecosystems. Social media facilitated information-mediated integration: 68.4% reported digital platforms enabled access to local cultural information, while 71% acquired Mizo cultural knowledge through informal digital channels. However, significant barriers persist, including limited information literacy competencies, constrained device access, misinformation exposure, and language-based exclusion.Conclusions: Social media operates as alternative information infrastructure where migrants develop sophisticated information practices to navigate complex information landscapes under displacement conditions. Findings demonstrate how marginalized populations construct information resilience when formal institutions remain inaccessible. Effective information services for displaced populations require: recognition of social media as legitimate infrastructure; mobile-optimized multilingual resources; community-based information literacy instruction; and library-NGO-community partnerships addressing systemic access barriers.

Abstract

Background: Modern libraries are evolving into multidimensional activity centers, focusing not only on providing information but also on comfort and social interaction. Younger generations such as Gen Z and Millennials view libraries as social spaces that blend academic activities with relaxation. One innovation introduced is the presence of cafés, which are part of the "third place" concept—a space outside the home and campus for informal socializing.Purpose: This study aims to determine the influence of café presence on increased visits and user satisfaction, assess the extent to which the third place concept supports social and academic needs, identify the main elements of attraction, and compare perceptions among students.Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach by distributing an online questionnaire to students of Padjadjaran University as respondents. Data were collected in nominal and ordinal forms through open-ended questions, closed-ended questions, and Likert scales. The study was conducted over ten days in the environment of the Kandaga Library at Padjadjaran University.Results: The café significantly increased library visits and satisfaction, with users appreciating its role in supporting both academic work and social interaction.Conclusions: The presence of a café can enhance the appeal and frequency of visits to the library. The café is not only a place to relax but also an informal collaboration space that supports contemporary learning styles.

Abstract

Background: School libraries are often underutilised as centres of learning and literacy development, despite their great potential to support the educational process. The gap between the ideal function of libraries and the actual practice of library services in the field necessitates an evaluation that focuses on users’ real experiencesPurpose: This study aims to evaluate the role of libraries in increasing students’ interest in literacy at Labschool Elementary School UPI Bandung and to identify obstacles in the implementation of existing literacy programs. Methods: This research used field research with an evaluative approach using a goal-free evaluation model. The research subjects included 20 fourth-grade students as survey respondents and library managers as interview informants. Data collection techniques included a three-level Likert-scale survey to measure students’ literacy interest and semi-structured interviews to explore the condition of library services. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to interpret student responses and field findings. Results: The results showed that most students responded neutrally to the school-organised literacy activities. Conclusion: The literacy programs have not been fully able to foster students’ interest in reading optimally. Library services are still dominated by the function of providing Reading materials without the development of innovative and participatory literacy programs.

Abstract

Background: Librarians are required to be assertive amid changing times and the dynamics of Generation Z, which is beginning to dominate the workplace. Assertive behavior is a communication skill that can be learned to reduce conflict. Studies on the application of assertive behavior among Generation Z librarians are still limited; therefore, research is needed to fill this gap. Purpose: This study aims to identify the assertive behavior of Generation Z librarians in conflict resolution and negotiation within library settings, using Janette S. Caputo’s theory. The main research question is: How do Generation Z librarians apply various forms of assertive statements in the context of library service interactions?Methods: This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach. Informants were determined using purposive sampling based on several criteria, and nine informants were obtained from school libraries (SMPN 29 Bandar Lampung, SMKN Padang Cermin, SD Kreativa, SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Metro), universities (Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya, Institut Sains Teknologi Nasional, and Politeknik Kesuma Bangsa), and public libraries (Kabupaten Pringsewu and Kabupaten Pesisir Barat). Data collection was carried out through structured interviews.Results: The study reveals that Generation Z librarians exhibit various forms of assertive behavior. They demonstrate Simple Assertion by facilitating effective information retrieval. Empathetic Assertion is shown through adjustments in communication styles. Soft Assertion appears in the form of support, positive feedback, and appreciation toward coworkers. Anger Assertion is expressed professionally. Confrontation Assertion is reflected in polite renegotiation of work agreements. Negative Assertion involves acknowledging mistakes and maintaining healthy communication. Assertive Disengagement is demonstrated by postponing discussions assertively when conditions are unsuitable.Conclusions: Generation Z librarians apply various forms of assertive behavior in conflict resolution and negotiation in libraries.

Abstract

Background: The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed how cultural heritage is preserved, accessed, and disseminated. While digitalization offers new opportunities to revitalize traditional arts and engage younger generations, it raises concerns related to cultural authenticity, technical capacity, and ethical governance.Purpose: This study examines (1) how digital technologies contribute to the preservation and revitalization of traditional arts, (2) the key challenges faced by artists and cultural practitioners in adapting to digital environments, and (3) the collaborative strategies required to ensure culturally grounded and sustainable digitalization. Methods: A qualitative approach was employed using semi-structured interviews with five informants, including traditional artists, academics, and cultural practitioners involved in heritage-related activities in Indonesia. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns related to digital preservation practices, challenges, and forms of collaboration.Results: Findings show that digitalization strengthens preservation by expanding accessibility, protecting fragile archives, and creating immersive experiences through technologies such as virtual reality and digital platforms. However, informants highlight significant constraints, including digital literacy gaps, inadequate infrastructure, financial barriers, and intellectual property risks. They emphasize that authentic cultural values must remain central in digital transformation. Effective digitalization requires multi-stakeholder collaboration—linking artists, communities, academics, government, and technology actors to ensure accuracy, cultural integrity, and sustainable implementation. Conclusions: Digital technologies hold meaningful potential for revitalizing traditional arts when applied ethically and collaboratively. Sustainable digital preservation requires culturally sensitive approaches, institutional support, and coordinated multi-stakeholder engagement. Future research should involve broader participant groups and comparative cultural contexts to deepen understanding of long-term digital preservation strategies.
