Abstract:

This paper is aimed to investigate the social role of libraries in the form of community empowerment. Studies that have been dominant in discussing the existence of libraries as providers of collections for the public to read make this research significant because it attempts to put forward the potential for new study perspectives that can touch the heart of public needs in the social realm. This research departs from the layers of the library pyramid in the form of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. The four layers of the pyramid are used as the existential foundation of libraries in p

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a deeper understanding of how to promote members’ beneficial behaviors toward other members and toward the virtual community (VC). The authors extend Ray et al.’s (2014) framework by developing a more precise definition of community embeddedness, and determining how such embeddedness relates to social support and community engagement. Design/methodology/approach The authors test the proposed research model using data collected from 333 users of online social support communities/groups dedicated to sharing knowledge about pregnancy and child care.

Abstract:

El análisis de los reglamentos de servicios de setenta bibliotecas universitarias latinoamericanas (de Perú, México, Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile y Bolivia) revela que existen enormes diferencias en las maneras en que los bibliotecarios de esta parte del mundo entienden y llevan a la práctica nociones sobre el acceso al conocimiento y el papel de proyección social de las universidades. En algunos países, estas bibliotecas operan como servicios públicos para la comunidad (Brasil, México y Argentina), mientras que en otros se establecen múltiples restricciones a los usuarios externos (con

Abstract:

This study deals with a current concept, that of social inclusion, in relation to the public library – an institution with a strong civic responsibility. Regarding the need of aligning with the dynamics of society, the library is constantly undergoing successive changes, assuming new roles and transforming from a passive space for documents storage, to an active centre for social interaction, a community space, a place of diversity and dialogue, a meeting place for all members of a community. The role of public library in facilitating the process of social inclusion, namely the inclusion of vu

Abstract:

A smart public library holds crucial roles in the current fast-moving smart environment. This study defines what constitutes a smart library and outlines the critical challenges affecting the readiness of the library to adopt a smart library in developing countries. Using a case study encompassing documentation analysis and in-depth interviews with 13 public officials at the Regency of Bojonegoro, Indonesia, this study demonstrates that expensive ICTs expenditures does not necessarily mean achieving a smart library. The findings showcase that a smart library started from the innovative and inv

Abstract:

In pursuing a sustainable future, libraries have emerged as crucial advocates for environmental, financial and social awareness. This paper explores the theoretical review of integrating of smart library elements (smart technology, smart services and smart people) in libraries to promote sustainability. By exploring the seamless convergence of these elements, the paper unveils a new paradigm in which libraries are moving beyond their traditional roles to become dynamic, environmentally conscious places. Smart technologies provide energy efficiency, resource optimisation and digitisation, while

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to discuss the strategies to promote a culture of professional learning within an Australian academic library. As the COVID-19 experience has shown new and evolving roles require skills, knowledge and abilities that current library employees may not have trained for. One framework which supports continuous professional development and employee motivation is the concept of a learning organisation, where staff across all levels of the library acknowledge the value of continuous learning and autonomously engage in activities to keep their skills up to date and

Abstract:

Gender roles typically encompass expectations and norms regarding behaviors, appearances, occupations, and societal roles associated with masculinity and femininity. Gender stereotypes refer to preconceived notions and expectations about the characteristics, behaviors, and roles associated with individuals based on their gender. It is a social construct that varies across cultures and historical periods. In the case of LIS, if it is stereotypically viewed as a female-dominated field, it may discourage male students from considering it as a career path due to societal expectations or perceived

This text addresses the significance and potential of municipal libraries. The author considers the results of research conducted to evaluate the network of municipal libraries in Kraków (a UNESCO City of Literature) and to prepare a strategy for a new cultural institution, the Kraków Library. He considers libraries in terms of “place.” The notion of “place” here involves both the urban dimension of a library (that is, its role and location in the city space) and the architectural sense (its interior and attractiveness). He attaches great importance to a library’s city-forming and culture-form

The changing open science landscape leads to new requirements and expectations in terms of dissemination, communication and outreach. With the increasing importance of micro blogging, social media and other interactive Web 2.0 channels for communicating research outcomes to target audiences outside academia, pressure on researchers to apply more marketing-oriented communication strategies and produce related content increases. In this paper we discuss how research dissemination and communication as well as the roles of researchers and science communicators are transforming in an open science c

Although food and drink have traditionally been prohibited in libraries, in recent years, there have been increased joint ventures between libraries and coffee shops like Starbucks. Although library cafés are perceived mostly for social networking and recreational purposes, an increasing number of students are conducting both their formal and informal learning at the library cafés, instead of inside the physical libraries. Using a quantitative comparative approach, this study also aims to identify the similarities and differences in the usage of library cafés amongst students at three differen
