Abstract

Disaster is an unavoidable event and has the potential to destroy recorded information. Library as an information institution is responsible for preserving all of its collections, including digital collections. Digital collections are collections that require more specialized level of care than physical collections because they require maintenance from both hardware and software. Therefore, digital disaster preparedness is needed to minimize the impact of disasters and build library capabilities that will be needed when disasters come. Librarians need to have a broad view and awareness of the importance of digital disaster preparedness in libraries, especially in university libraries. This research used a quantitative approach with the descriptive analysis method. The result shows that the views of librarians in digital disaster preparedness at university libraries in Jakarta, Indonesia are quite good but there are still a number of things that need to be improved such as a clear written policy to support the ease of flow when dealing with disasters directly. The barriers to digital disaster preparedness encountered by lack of librarians who understand about digital disasters preparedness due to lack of training or further education.

Bahasa Abstract

Bencana merupakan suatu peristiwa yang tidak dapat dihindari dan berpotensi untuk menghancurkan informasi terekam. Perpustakaan sebagai lembaga informasi bertanggungjawab melestarikan seluruh koleksi yang dimiliki, termasuk koleksi digital. Koleksi digital merupakan koleksi yang membutuhkan tingkat perawatan yang lebih khusus karena membutuhkan perawatan baik dari perangkat keras ataupun perangkat lunak. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan kesiapsiagaan terhadap koleksi digital untuk meminimalkan dampak bencana serta membangun kapabilitas perpustakaan yang akan dibutuhkan saat bencana datang, pustakawan harus memiliki pemahaman yang luas dan sadar akan pentingnya kesiapsiagaan bencana terhadap koleksi digital di perpustakaan khususnya di perpustakaan universitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pandangan pustakawan dalam kesiapsiagaan bencana terhadap koleksi digital perpustakaan universitas di Jakarta sudah cukup baik, tetapi masih terdapat beberapa hal yang harus diperbaiki serta ditingkatkan seperti adanya kebijakan ataupun SOP tertulis yang jelas untuk mendukung kemudahan alur saat menghadapi bencana secara langsung. Tantangan dalam melakukan pelaksanaan kesiapsiagaan bencana koleksi digital disebabkan oleh kurangnya SDM yang memahami kesiapsiagaan bencana terhadap koleksi digital karena kurangnya pelatihan ataupun edukasi lebih lanjut mengenai hal ini.
