Librarian role in research library services in Indonesian Institute of Sciences

Abstract

Introduction.In a research library, researchers are the main players, while . librarians should be the partners in conducting research even though this combination rarely happens. In general, librarians are only involved in a part of research activities as their research assistants to carry out some administrative stuffs, such as distributing questionnaires and sending invitation letters, instead of designing a research plan and/or somequestionnaires or doing data analyses.Data Collection Method. We interviewed librarians in the Center for Political Studies, Research Center for Economic, Center for Science and Technology Development, and Center for Scientific Documentation and Information of Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Jakarta.Data Analyses. Data were analyzed using qualitative analysis methods, through the direct interview, where data categorized by using open coding.Results and Discussions.The results stated that 86.7% of respondents had ever been involved in research activities carried out by the research center in the same or different units. From that result, 53.3% respondents ever engaged research activities up to 5 times in a year. In the other hands, librarians who answer conduct independent research and are often involved in the research are 13% respondents. Some recommendations figured out from this research are (1) a librarian could be a plagiarism examiner for a research proposal, (2) a librarian must be literated in information technologies, (3) a librarian should be involved in examining a literature review of the proposal and writing the manuscripts.Conclusions.The role of a librarian is not just as a research assistant or a data collector but as a research buddy who could help addressing some documentative problems.

“…These include among others, textbooks or literature, journals, papers, articles, research results, and various other sources (Late, Tenopir, Talja, & Christian, 2019).

In normative legal research, the systematic processing of data and legal materials is carried out through first collecting data and legal materials, then processing that data in such a way that it results p-ISSN 2774-7018 ; e-ISSN 2774-700X in coherent results to facilitate conducting the succeeding analysis.…”

The Quantitative Effect of Noise and Object Diameter on Low-Contrast Detectability of AAPM CT Performance Phantom Images

“…The key parameters for determining image quality include noise level and low-contrast detectability [2]. Noise is a fluctuation in pixel values that appear randomly in the image [3], while low-contrast detectability is the ability of the imaging system to differentiate the smallest contrast difference among tissues (objects) having very small size [4,5]. One advantage of CT image over other modalities is its low-contrast detectability [6,7].…”

Libarian Competence Development in Supporting Scientific Publication Guidance Services at Library of Sebelas Maret University

“…Research regarding the role of university libraries in supporting research has been widely carried out in Indonesia [3][4] [5] Currently, there are 44 human resources in the library with various educational qualifications from basic level to master's programs [10]. With such a large number and a high level of education, it should be possible to provide excellent library services.…”
