Analysis of Library Material Collections Printed in the Sari Mutiara Indonesia University Library based on the Regulation of the Head of the Republic of Indonesia National Library Number 13 of 2017

Introduction

In the digital age, libraries play a vital role in providing access to information and supporting the development of higher education. The Sari Mutiara Indonesia University Library is one of the institutions that strive to provide quality library materials to its users. However, the question remains whether the library's collection of printed materials is in accordance with the Regulation of the Head of the Republic of Indonesia National Library Number 13 of 2017. This study aims to analyze the library's collection of printed materials and identify areas that need improvement.

Background

The Regulation of the Head of the Republic of Indonesia National Library Number 13 of 2017 sets the standards for library collections, including the types of collections, local content collections, and processing of library materials. The regulation emphasizes the importance of providing relevant and quality library materials to support the development of higher education. The Sari Mutiara Indonesia University Library, as a member of the National Library of Indonesia, is expected to adhere to these standards.

Methodology

This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis method to analyze the library's collection of printed materials. Data was collected through observation, interviews, literature research, and documentation studies. The informants involved in this study consisted of three people, namely the head of the library, staff responsible for providing book collections, and repository staff. The selection of informants was carried out using purposive sampling techniques.

Data Analysis

The data collected was analyzed through several stages, including data reduction, data presentation, verification, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the type of collection, collection of collections, local content collections, and processing of library materials in this library was in accordance with the regulation of the Head of National Library Number 13 of 2017. However, there are several aspects that have not met the standards, including the number of collections such as journals, scientific magazines subscribe, collections of references, repetition of branding, preliminary activities, and preservation of collections.

Analysis of the Suitability of a Collection of Library Materials

From the results of the study, it is important to underline several things. First, the suitability between the types of collections and library policies shows the commitment of the University of Sari Mutiara Indonesia to the development of relevant and quality library materials. The development of collections that include local content is a significant added value, because this provides better access to students and local researchers to their relevant resources to their context.

However, mismatch in a number of collections, especially journals and scientific magazines, shows the need to conduct evaluations and adjustments. Scientific journals and magazines are very important sources of information in the academic world, and their existence can affect the quality of research and learning. To overcome this problem, the library needs to conduct a more in-depth analysis related to the needs of the user and the latest trends in scientific publications.

In addition, collection and preservation activities of collections are important aspects in library management. The collection of collections that are no longer relevant or in bad conditions must be done to provide space for new collections that are more relevant. Meanwhile, collection of collections requires more attention so that library materials can be used in the long run.

Conclusion

Overall, although the Sari Mutiara Indonesia University library has fulfilled many criteria in the Regulation of the Head of National Library Number 13 of 2017, some areas still need to be improved. Researchers recommend that the library actively review existing collections, ensuring that the collection of scientific journals and magazines in the library can meet the user's academic needs. This step will ensure that the library can continue to function as a vital source of information for students and researchers, as well as support the development of higher education in Indonesia.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:

  1. Conduct a thorough analysis of the library's collection of scientific journals and magazines to ensure that they meet the user's academic needs.
  2. Develop a collection development policy that takes into account the needs of the user and the latest trends in scientific publications.
  3. Implement a collection management system that allows for the easy identification and removal of collections that are no longer relevant or in bad conditions.
  4. Provide training and education to library staff on the importance of collection management and preservation.
  5. Establish a partnership with other libraries and institutions to share resources and expertise.

Limitations of the Study

This study has several limitations that need to be acknowledged. Firstly, the study only focused on the Sari Mutiara Indonesia University Library and may not be generalizable to other libraries. Secondly, the study relied on a small sample size of informants, which may not be representative of the entire library staff. Finally, the study only analyzed the library's collection of printed materials and may not have captured the full range of library materials and services.

Future Research Directions

This study provides a foundation for future research on library collection management and preservation. Some potential areas for future research include:

  1. Conducting a comprehensive analysis of the library's collection of digital materials.
  2. Developing a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of library collection management and preservation.
  3. Investigating the impact of library collection management and preservation on student learning outcomes.
  4. Examining the role of library collection management and preservation in supporting the development of higher education in Indonesia.
