Information comes in different forms, and it influences people’s preference in finding and using information. The covid 19 pandemic which has been experienced by Indonesian undergraduate students may have provide new ways on how they looking and using information related to their study. This qualitative study explores the distance learning experience of undergraduate students in one of the University in Semarang during their study from home. It aims to identify how these students have developed their remote study as well as their strategies on searching and using information. A qualitative method was employed by applying semi-structured interviews for collecting data. The data then analyzed by using Thematic Analysis to uncover the pattern of the distance experience of the students. The preliminary findings show that most of the participants have some issues on using optimizing the learning systems, however they finally able to build their own strategies to cope with this new situation. Electronic resources becomes their main information resources because accessing the physical library building is no longer an option. These preliminary findings benefit not only for the next process of the research but also to inform university library about the way undergraduate students experience information resources so that it can be used for the library for developing their information services to students.

The low literacy of students' listening skill in Indonesia in the era of 4.0 industrial revolution are the center of attention for all education observers today. This is proven by the results of research conducted by Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) in 2017, which placed Indonesia's position ranked 60th out of 61 countries. In addition, problems were also found in listening skills in elementary schools, included: (1) The low of students' listening skill were due to several factors: students' attitude that lowered to the listening skill, a large number of students also influenced the learning environment to be not conducive, and lack of interaction in classroom learning; (2) the learning process in the classroom is still minimal in showing the existence of literacy culture; and (3) lack of local wisdom video media utilization so that the learning process becomes unpleasant for students. Based on these problems, it is necessary to study more seriously the implementation of literacy in the 4.0 industrial revolution era in the context of listening. One of the efforts to overcome the problems and achieve the research objectives is by implementing the literacy based on local wisdom video. This type of research uses a quantitative approach and is quasi experimental research. The results of the research on the implementation of literacy in the era of 4.0 industrial revolution based on local wisdom video can improve students' literacy skills in the context of listening.

Digital, information, and networked technologies have largely affected the academic libraries and their users in support of 21st education. This development places demands on them to endure seriously the assessment challenges in the aspect of users’ utilization of Web-based Information Services, not merely to rely on the implicit value of usage statistics, but also to look into the explicit difference that the specific usage of web-based information services has on users’ experience in the form of their perceived scholarly outcomes. In establishing this paper, scoping approach was used as the methodology for preliminary assessment in exploring and analyzing the published research articles from local and international sources. Based on the literature review, this paper aims to propose a conceptual research framework for Malaysian academic libraries comprising three independent variables, namely, library technology, academic library roles, and library learning environment. Besides, information literacy skill is introduced to gain understanding, to what extent, it has a moderating relationship between the independent variables and the university students’ utilization of WBIS, the predicted dependent variable that constitutes implicit and explicit values. This framework will be measured by conducting a research involving six public universities in the Klang Valley of Malaysia. In the long run, it is expected to propose a research method and instruments to support the academic libraries in collecting and analyzing data about utilization of web-based information services among university students.
