“…The findings reveal that all of the librarians were implementing the FAIR principles by ensuring that the indigenous knowledge collections they had in their libraries were accessible and findable through the classification and cataloguing processes that were undertaken after the acquisition process (see also Balogun, 2023a; Farnel, 2020; Montenegro, 2019; Nakata et al, 2005). In the academic and special libraries, indigenous knowledge materials were findable via catalogues and accessible through institutional repositories and web portals.…”

“…Librarians play a crucial role in ensuring that these principles are applied when acquiring, preserving and disseminating indigenous knowledge in the digital era. To make indigenous knowledge findable, librarians can ensure that the proper metadata is attached to indigenous data in order to assist indigenous communities and other researchers in identifying and retrieving relevant information (Balogun, 2023a; Farnel, 2020; Montenegro, 2019; Nakata et al, 2005). Indigenous knowledge should have a clear and accessible identifier that makes it easy to find and locate.…”

“…This goes hand in hand with the sustainability and long-term preservation of indigenous knowledge in the digital era. Libraries must ensure the long-term sustainability of digital repositories containing indigenous knowledge (Balogun, 2023a; Tjiek, 2006). This includes addressing challenges related to digital storage, data migration and technology obsolescence.…”

In the era of digital innovation, the preservation of indigenous knowledge stands at a compelling intersection of heritage and technology. Librarians play a crucial role in navigating the complexities of technology while respecting cultural protocols. Through a comprehensive exploration of librarian practices, this study sought to unpack how indigenous knowledge can be ethically preserved in the digital landscape. A qualitative study was conducted with 20 librarians in Zimbabwe, who were purposively selected. Interviews and observation were used to collect data, which was analysed using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that libraries preserved indigenous knowledge in the form of poetry, folklore, drama and artefacts; demonstrated traditional dances; and sometimes recorded live sessions and special collections. The major challenges being faced were the ethical issues in documenting indigenous knowledge. It is recommended that librarians actively work with indigenous communities in indigenous knowledge projects to avoid resistance from knowledge holders.

The study supplements manuscript digitization, which often overlooks owners’ role in manuscript literacy, highlighting their integral connection to preservation efforts. This is particularly relevant concerning Ambon manuscripts in the former Hitu kingdom. The study’s primary objective is to discern optimal practices for sustainable preservation, emphasizing the community owners not as passive entities but as individuals possessing significant knowledge and skills, competencies which can be effectively employed to safeguard and uphold manuscripts. The data collection process encompassed comprehensive literature reviews on digital manuscript collections, interviews with owners, focus group discussions (FGD) involving the younger generation of heirs, FGD with Ambon manuscript researchers at IAIN Ambon, and observations on manuscripts and cultural practices within the community. The findings reveal notable aspects such as: 1) degradation occurs in Ambon manuscripts, both in their physical state and the transmission of knowledge post-digitization, which underscores a deficiency in knowledge transfer between manuscript users and owners, representing an ethical responsibility; 2) within Ambon society, old houses function as literacy centers for the community. Given the substantial quantity of manuscripts, these houses should be recognized as scriptoria and serve as foundational points for manuscript-based literacy development; and 3) traditional practices within owner communities indicate that manuscript knowledge/literacy extends beyond basic reading and writing skills. It encompasses a holistic and comprehensive understanding of knowledge, including its relevance to daily life, categorization, origins, literacy, preservation skills (particularly caring and copying), and utilization (for legitimacy, anticipation/conflict resolution, and even economic purposes).

Currently, material handling systems are fundamental in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and distribution, performing critical functions in the movement, storage, control, and protection of materials throughout production and distribution processes. With the advancement of digital technologies and the emergence of Industry 4.0, there is a growing need for more intelligent and interconnected systems capable of collecting and transmitting real-time data, thus improving operational efficiency and decision-making. The primary objective of this study was to develop a gateway prototype called Gate Move 4.0, designed to efficiently and reliably collect and transmit data in material handling systems. The methodology adopted for the development of Gate Move 4.0 was organized into several stages, each meticulously planned to ensure that the final prototype met the established objectives. The main stages of the methodology included the Requirements Analysis, where the functional and non-functional requirements of the gateway were identified, considering the needs of material handling systems and the technical specifications required by the industry. Different system architectures, communication protocols, and sensor technologies were evaluated to determine the best practices to be applied in the prototype development. The study results showed that Gate Move 4.0 proved to be a functional prototype, meeting the proposed objectives and demonstrating satisfactory performance under various operating conditions. The key results include: Data Collection Efficiency; Connectivity and Flexibility; Performance in Adverse Environments; Ease of Implementation and Use; and Impact on Operational Efficiency. Gate Move 4.0 proved to be a viable solution for data collection and transmission in material handling systems, contributing to the evolution of these systems towards more intelligent and interconnected operations within the context of Industry 4.0.
