2012-09-14T03:58:27Z Surachman, Arif Kesadaran akan pentingnya diseminasi informasi dan ilmu pengetahuan serta perkembangan teknologi informasi telah mendatangkan berbagai upaya dari sebagian atau sekelompok masyarakat untuk mengembangkan jejaring informasi digital. Baik yang awalnya hanya diperuntukkan ‘hanya’ sekedar berbagi informasi bibliografis digital hingga kepada sharing ilmu pengetahuan dan hasil karya yang tersimpan dalam format digital. Mereka berusaha ‘menggabungkan’ dan menyatukan berbagai content digital yang dimiliki dalam satu ‘wadah’ yang diharapkan akan mampu memberikan kontribusi yang positif bagi masyarakat. Di Indonesia, hal ini sebetulnya bukan merupakan hal baru, bahkan sudah sekitar satu dasawarsa lalu (sejak awal millennium) upaya-upaya membangun jaringan perpustakaan digital ini dilakukan. Namun hasilnya sampai saat ini belum terlalu menggembirakan. Beberapa upaya itu diantaranya dilakukan melalui IndonesiaDLN, InherentDL, Portal Garuda Dikti, Jogjalib for All, dan Jogjalib.Net. Apa yang sudah dilakukan bukannya gagal sama sekali, hanya mungkin tidak seperti yang diharapkan sebelumnya. Ada berbagai macam kendala dan pengalaman yang dapat menjadi media pembelajaran bagi upaya membangun jaringan perpustakaan digital ke depan di Indonesia. Tulisan ini mencoba ingin mengulas dari berbagai aspek berbagai hal yang menyangkut upaya membangun jaringan perpustakaan digital di Indonesia. Salah satu faktor utama yang menjadi kendala dari keberadaan jaringan itu adalah masalah kebijakan, aspek interoperabilitas, dan akses oleh pengguna. Disamping tentunya adanya masalah lain seperti kesinambungan, sumber daya, pengelolaan, infrastruktur, dan aspek teknis lainnya. i kajian dan analisis ini merupakan satu bentuk ‘lesson learned’ atau pembelajaran bagi pengembangan Perpustakaan Digital di masa yang akan datang.

2012-09-14T03:56:53Z Surachman, Arif Masyarakat di dunia saat ini sedang menghadapi globalisasi yang sedemikian deras dan kesepakatan pasar bebas yang semakin meluas. Jarak dan waktu seolah sudah tidak lagi menjadi masalah bagi seseorang untuk menjangkau ilmu pengetahuan dan informasi dimanapun, kapanpun dan darimanapun. General Agreements on Trade in Services (GATS) yang digagas WTO, Asia-Pacific Economic Community (APEC), dan Masyarakat Ekonomia Asean dengan AFTA (Asean Free Trade Agreement) adalah merupakan bentuk kesepakatan pasar bebas sebagai dampak dari globalisasi itu. Masyarakat Asia Tenggara pada umumnya dan pustakawan pada khususnya juga menghadapi tantangan ini. Persaingan SDM dalam era pasar bebas juga akan berpengaruh pada persaingan SDM Perpustakaan dalam hal ini adalah pustakawan. Untuk itu pustakawan mesti mempunyai daya saing yang kuat yang dapat dilakukan dengan cara memahami konsep diri pustakawan, peningkatan kompetensi dan profesionalisme, serta memperluas dan mererat jaringan kerjasama diantara mereka.

2012-09-11T15:06:01Z Leitão, Paulo The democratization of access to ICT and the emergence of platforms that focus on publishing content and the socialization of individuals gave birth to a new kind of information consumer, now also a producer. The result of this new role, commonly referred to as user-generated content, is a relatively recent phenomenon, but, thanks to the ubiquity of technology; it has spread, although the behavior of most individuals on the web is guided by other motivations, namely communication. The content produced is manifold, provides multiple levels of granularity, may be original, derivative or the result of a remix, is produced individually or cooperatively on platforms calling for the socialization, and in which few individuals are major producers and most sporadic contributors. The use of such content by the community also seems to follow a constant that translates into the consumption of a large number of content by few people and in a small popularity of many, which nevertheless does not cease to be a new possibility to achieve a diverse number of small niches. The problems of originality, privacy and quality are the most recurrently occur in the discussion of the other side of this coin. Libraries have been tentatively to accept these new producers, even opening their participation instruments of organization and information retrieval that historically were only his, but showing some difficulty in taking the role of producing, in co-operation, new content, than the traditional domain of meta-information. The discussion around issues such as organization, retrieval and preservation of this content is first started, and the management of these communities of users / producers. However, this is a reality that cannot be ignored and it is expected that this contribution will serve to launch the discussion and research library community in Portugal.
