Abstract

This research aims to understand the impact of the shift to digital technology on the work of university librarians, identify strategies to stay relevant in the digital age, and improve library services. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, collects data through interviews with university librarians who experience changes due to digital technology, and analyzes related documents and literature to identify their patterns, challenges, and strategies in dealing with these changes. This research showed that the shift to digital technology has had a significant impact on the role of university librarians. Librarians must now manage electronic resources and develop new skills, such as information technology, metadata management, and digital preservation. They also need to be able to navigate the complex digital information landscape, promote electronic resources, and collaborate with users in the development of digital resources. In addition to technical ability, librarians must be creative and innovative, willing to experiment with new approaches and technologies, and look at problem-solving options. Innovation is key to staying relevant in the digital age. Previous studies have also highlighted the importance of collaboration with users and a focus on community needs as important elements in developing effective library services. This research reveals that the shift to digital technology has significantly changed the role of university librarians. They must develop in technology skills, collaborate with users, and be innovative in facing digital challenges. The ability to manage, promote electronic resources, and understand community needs is important in maintaining the relevance of librarians in the digital age.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of law has become a significant focus in the evolution of legal technology. The optimization of AI in the utilization of legal references aims to enhance efficiency and accuracy in legal research and analysis processes. This research endeavors to examine how AI can be optimized for managing and leveraging available legal references. This study employs an interdisciplinary approach involving computer science, law, and information science. We will evaluate natural language processing and machine learning techniques that can be employed to recognize, categorize, and organize legal references. Furthermore, legal and ethical aspects concerning the use of AI in a legal context, including data privacy and security issues, will be considered. The outcomes of this research are expected to provide practical guidelines for legal professionals, researchers, and technology developers to harness AI optimally in utilizing legal references. By utilizing AI, it is anticipated that legal research processes can become faster, more accurate, and efficient, thereby supporting a fairer and more sustainable legal system in the future.

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.
