Analyzing the Conceptualization of and Challenges to Adopt Smart Public Library in Indonesia
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 inventive programs and services that are progressively geared toward achieving the library as a place for the co-production of knowledge. The findings further demonstrate that technology per se is not the most critical challenge for a smart library. The findings highlight data awareness, organizational issues, insufficient policies and regulations, and public concerns as more significant challenges to the adoption of a smart library than technological capability and infrastructure.
