Pengukuran Indeks Literasi Digital di Perpustakaan Khusus Indonesia

Abstract

The Ministry of Communication and Informatics has been measuring the level of digital literacy in Indonesia annually since 2020, but the measurement of the digital literacy index does not yet include the scope of libraries. This research focuses on developing a framework for the digital literacy index specifically for libraries, referring to the digital literacy frameworks of UNESCO, ITU, DigComp 2.1, and the DQ Institute. It also measures the digital literacy competencies of librarians and library users in specialized libraries. The objective of this research is to provide recommendations regarding the mapping of digital literacy competencies of librarians and library users based on the measurement results in order to improve the national digital literacy index. Specialized libraries were chosen because the majority of their services are provided digitally, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used in this study is a quantitative method through surveys conducted with library users and librarians in specialized libraries in Indonesia. The results of this study include a specialized digital literacy index framework for the library environment, as well as the mapping of digital literacy among librarians and library users based on the developed index framework. The recommendations based on the findings provided in the conclusion of this paper emphasize the importance of enhancing librarian competencies through training or workshops, and curriculum adjustments to support the improvement of the digital literacy index for library and information science programs at universities.
