Abstract

This study examines the mediation of modern Islamic knowledge through library services in Japan as a response to the increasing demand for Islamic information within a multicultural and predominantly non-Muslim society. This topic is significant because libraries play a strategic role not only as information centers but also as spaces for intercultural and interreligious dialogue in fostering a moderate, inclusive, and academically grounded understanding of Islam. This research employs a literature review method by examining scholarly sources such as books, journal articles, research reports, and library policy documents relevant to modern Islam and library services in Japan. Data collection was conducted through a systematic literature search, source selection based on relevance and credibility, and thematic categorization of the reviewed materials. The data were analyzed using content analysis to identify patterns, concepts, and forms of mediation of Islamic knowledge within library services. The findings indicate that the development of multilingual collections, the provision of academic resources on modern Islam, and information literacy programs are the main strategies used by libraries to mediate Islamic knowledge. Libraries in Japan contribute to presenting a contextual and scholarly understanding of Islam.

Abstract

University libraries play a crucial role in supporting students' academic activities, particularly through their operating hours policies. This study aims to analyze the operating hours policies of Padjadjaran University Library in meeting student needs. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with librarians and students, direct observation, and documentation studies related to service policies. The results indicate that the operating hours policy is divided into regular services and evening services, focusing on the BNI Co Working Space. Despite the relatively limited number of users, the evening service serves as an important alternative study space. Service utilization is influenced by convenience, internet network stability, cost efficiency, and limited study space in student dormitories. During midterm and final exams, students proposed extending service hours, although 24-hour service was deemed unfeasible. As an alternative, implementing a shift-based work system was considered a more realistic way to extend services. These findings suggest that the operating hours policy needs to be understood as an adaptive, flexible, and student-oriented library service strategy.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of library users in using information sources available at the Bosowa University Library. Librarians at the Bosowa University Library assist library users to support improving their literacy skills in meeting their information needs. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to understand library users' literacy behavior through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that library users at the Bosowa University Library have sufficient literacy skills to browse and utilize digital and printed materials. To meet their academic information needs, most users utilize online catalogs, e-journals, and print collections. These results indicate that users' literacy skills are influenced by subjective experiences during the information-seeking process, as described in the relational information literacy model. Users with more experience tend to be more adept at assessing information quality and selecting appropriate sources. This study indicates that despite relatively easy access to digital library resources, many users struggle to evaluate and utilize data optimally.
