Indigenous knowledge is the knowledge owned by local communities that needs to be preserved and passed down from generation to generation. The objective of this research is to analyze preserving indigenous knowledge in Indonesia based on the World Bank's process of preserving indigenous knowledge. Data for this research were obtained from journal articles on the preservation of indigenous knowledge in Indonesia, published between 2017 and 2023, obtained from GARUDA, Google Scholar, and ProQuest journals. This study has undertaken a systematic literature review using the PICOC methodology. The outcomes explain that the types of indigenous knowledge in Indonesia consist of various categories, namely language, arts, architecture, oral culture, and customs. The study also indicates that in the preservation stage, indigenous knowledge has reached the recognition and validation phase. However, it is still not optimal in implementing other stages, namely recording and documentation, storage, transfer, and dissemination. The results also show that in the process of preserving local knowledge, the tools and techniques used are mobile phones, cameras, computers, social media, online databases, books, photo collections, CDs, and websites.

Supporting Merdeka Belajar Curriculum: An Analysis of Open Educational Resources Policy and Academic Libraries’ Contribution

Heriyanto Heriyanto, Yohanes Hermanto Sirait — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:23:15 +0000

In 2023, the Indonesian government launched the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom of Learning) curriculum to enhance the quality of education in the country. College libraries, as integral components of Indonesia's educational system, were called upon to support this initiative, particularly through the use of Open Educational Resources (OER). However, the development and implementation of OER encountered several challenges, including legal barriers. This study aimed to analyze the legal framework surrounding OER, with a particular focus on the Indonesian context. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving the analysis of legal documents, policies, and relevant literature. The legal documents examined primarily included regulations pertaining to higher education, copyright laws, and licenses. The study found that the lack of specific regulation regarding OER in Indonesia created challenges in defining the applicable legal framework. Although OER practices align with copyright law, the absence of explicit regulation on open licenses places the legal basis on license agreements between creators or copyright holders and OER users. If the license agreement is valid, it becomes enforceable under the pacta sunt servanda principle. However, the study highlighted the need for comprehensive regulations to provide legal security and clarity for creators, copyright holders, and users of OER. It was recommended that the government issue more explicit legal regulations to support the creation, distribution, and use of OER, thereby providing a solid legal foundation for stakeholders, including lecturers, universities, and libraries.

SLiMS 9 Bulian is a widely used library automation system in Indonesian libraries. This study aimed to assess user satisfaction and examine the influence of user characteristics—such as gender, age, and education level—on the performance of the SLiMS 9 Bulian. A quantitative approach was employed, using the PIECES (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, and Service) framework to measure user satisfaction. Data were collected through online surveys over two months (November to December 2023), with a sample of 96 librarians and library staff from 15 university libraries across West Sumatra (45%), Riau (30%), and Bengkulu (24%). After validity and reliability testing, 61 valid responses were obtained. The study found an overall satisfaction score of 4.34 out of 5. Hypothesis testing showed no significant impact of gender, age, or education level on user satisfaction (p > 0.05). The study concluded that user satisfaction with SLiMS 9 Bulian was high and that librarians are a more suitable respondent group for evaluating information systems using the PIECES framework than students. This study provides important insights into user satisfaction with SLiMS 9 Bulian, offering practical recommendations for improving library automation systems. It also highlights the value of selecting appropriate respondent groups in evaluating system performance, contributing to better-informed decisions in the development and optimization of library technologies.

A Comparative Analysis of Citation Counts in Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus: A Study of Journals in Islamic Economics, Finance, and Business

Heri Sudarsono, Kinanthi Putri Ardiami, Mohammad Bekti Hendrie Anto — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:54:45 +0000

This study compared the citation counts of journals in economics, finance, and Islamic business (JEFIB) indexed in three prominent databases: Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus. JEFIB is indexed in Sinta, with citation data also available from the Dimensions and Scopus databases. A total of five journals were selected from each Sinta category, with the highest citation count from each database—Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus—being recorded. The citation data were then tabulated for each journal group based on the highest counts from these three databases. The findings reveal that citation counts in Sinta do not always align with those in Dimensions and Scopus, primarily due to differences in the data sources used for citation tracking. Sinta relies on data from Google Scholar, encompassing a broader range of publications, while Dimensions tracks citations from journals indexed by Crossref. Scopus citations, on the other hand, depend on the total number of citations of journal articles included in the Scopus database. Furthermore, the citation counts are influenced by factors such as the number of journal volumes, the total number of published documents, and the accreditation level of the journal. This study underscores the importance of considering citation data from multiple platforms—Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus—when evaluating the impact of journals within the global academic community.
