Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce Desa Informasi (Information Village), an institutional repository project carried out by Petra Christian University Library in Surabaya, Indonesia, and discuss its potential for enabling academic libraries to remain relevant in the digital era. Definitions of an institutional repository are discussed and a short description of Desa Informasi and its digital contents are given. The potential of the digital contents in the repository as a “new species” of resource, as well as for a base for offering new services by academic libraries, is discussed. Lastly, the possibility of an institutional repository project being used by academic libraries to reach out to society is described, with relevant ex les from the Desa Informasi project. An institutional repository project can result in “new” resources and services for academic libraries, and has the potential to reach out to communities outside their traditional user base. This paper identifies opportunities for academic libraries to remain relevant in the digital era.

Abstract: Content analysis is a well-established and widely used research method. In its early form, it was used extensively in the quantitative analysis of newspapers, and its applications later evolved to include electronic media such as radio and television. It has recently been applied to digital media, including the Internet. However, the use of content analysis in analyzing online content has been chiefly applied to static content, such as ‘static’ websites, in the early days of the Internet. Studies that involve its use in analyzing dynamic Internet content—for ex le, content that resides behind databases—are relatively much less common. This article is not written as a research paper per se. This article will instead discuss reflections on the efficacy of content analysis as a research method when applied to dynamic content such as DRs by using a previous study, which has applied content analysis to the dynamic content of digital repositories (DRs), as a case study. The previous study used as the basis for this article had applied content analysis to several DRs using manual counting by the researcher. In the process, several idiosyncrasies in terms of the way institutions populate their DRs with digital objects and the user metadata to facilitate discoverability of those digital objects were encountered that have introduced some ‘complication.’ This article will focus on how content analysis, as a research method, can be adapted to account for those idiosyncrasies to produce better results. This article will also identify the limitations and challenges of content analysis in dynamic online environments and offer some suggested approaches.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Institutional repositories (IRs) are an accepted part of the open access landscape, and they have a particular role to play in supporting scholarly communication in developing countries, such as Indonesia. METHODS Content analysis was conducted of 52 Indonesian higher education institutional repository websites between November 2014 and February 2015. Assessment included the degrees of “openness” of repositories, the types of works collected, software used, exploration tools, existence of links to institutional website, the language used for access points, and the standard of metadata. The study also gathered qualitative indicators of local practices in the management and population of repositories. RESULTS Only 26.9% of the surveyed IRs provide all or most documents in full-text the most widely included types of work are Theses and Dissertations (84.6%) and Published Works (80.8%), but there is also a high representation of Unpublished Works and University Records. Most IRs (90.3%) provide access points in the form of standardized subject headings, and English is widely used. DISCUSSION The characteristics of the content of the IRs surveyed suggests that many Indonesian IRs were conceived as a corporate information management system rather than as a genuine attempt to support open access. CONCLUSION The findings lead the authors to speculate that institutional repositories serving Indonesian higher education institutions are in their early adoption phase and that initial drivers for them have been corporate information management, institutional prestige, and the need to combat plagiarism.

Abstract: The past few decades have introduced us to the Digital Natives, a generation born in the 1980s, who have been familiar with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the myriads of ICT products since the day they were born. The last decade has also made us familiar with numerous disruptive innovations and technologies that have now been so pervasive in our daily lives and have ‘threatened’ many established practices on how we conduct our lives and businesses, such as ride-sharing (Uber, Grab, etc.), accommodation-sharing (AirBnb), and the blockchain technology that has been applied in more and more aspects of life, with Bitcoin as one of its applications in the crypto currency sector. Those changes and disruptions have not spared the higher education (HE) sector. Nowadays HE institutions need to take into account the characteristics of the Digital Natives, and various disruptive innovations and technologies if they want to remain relevant and stay ahead of the competition in the sector. All aspects of HE – including academic libraries, are not immune to these changes and disruptions. In the past, academic libraries have tended to play their roles as the storehouse of information and the provider of space for in idual learning. The advent of the Digital Natives and disruptive technologies have led some in the HE sector to argue that academic libraries would soon lose their relevance since nowadays information can be accessed digitally from anywhere and at any time. People who believe this line of thinking have given some ex les. One of them is the demise of Blockbuster (movie rental) stores in the United States (US) with the emergence of online video/movie streaming services. However, many forget that libraries, including academic libraries, also have their social functions besides their traditional roles as an information storehouse and in idual learning space. Due to their social functions, libraries have even been viewed as one of the most democratic spaces that societies have. This is especially true in the case of public libraries, but also – to some extent – true for academic libraries, where they also perform their functions as community hubs.
