Abstract
Tacit knowledge is implicit knowledge that plays a crucial role in experiential learning within information literacy communities, yet it is difficult to preserve due to its intangible nature. This study aims to identify transfer mechanisms, preservation strategies, and factors contributing to the vulnerability of tacit knowledge in volunteer-based communities. The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines using the Scopus database. A total of 10 articles were analyzed through qualitative thematic synthesis. The findings show that tacit knowledge transfer occurs through shared practices, mentoring, and experience-based learning. Preservation strategies include narrative documentation, reflective practices, and community strengthening. The vulnerability of tacit knowledge is influenced by weak documentation, high member turnover, and dependence on individuals. These findings highlight that preserving tacit knowledge requires strengthening social interaction and collective practices, not merely digitalization.
Bahasa Abstract
Tacit knowledge merupakan pengetahuan implisit yang berperan penting dalam pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman pada komunitas literasi informasi, namun sulit dipreservasi karena tidak mudah didokumentasikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi mekanisme transfer, strategi preservasi, dan faktor kerentanan hilangnya tacit knowledge dalam komunitas berbasis relawan. Metode yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan pedoman PRISMA 2020 melalui basis data Scopus. Sebanyak 10 artikel dianalisis menggunakan sintesis tematik kualitatif. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa transfer tacit knowledge terjadi melalui praktik bersama, mentoring, dan pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman. Strategi preservasi meliputi dokumentasi naratif, praktik reflektif, dan penguatan komunitas. Kerentanan pengetahuan dipengaruhi oleh lemahnya dokumentasi, tingginya pergantian anggota, dan ketergantungan pada individu. Temuan menegaskan bahwa preservasi tacit knowledge memerlukan penguatan interaksi sosial dan praktik kolektif, tidak hanya digitalisasi.
