INOVASI DIGITAL DALAM PERPUSTAKAAN MEMBANGUN AKSESIBILITAS TANPA BATAS
Abstract
Abstrak
Inovasi digital dalam perpustakaan telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam cara akses
dan pengelolaan informasi, menciptakan aksesibilitas yang lebih luas bagi masyarakat. Melalui
penerapan teknologi seperti katalog online, buku elektronik (e-books), digitalisasi koleksi, kecerdasan
buatan (AI), serta augmented reality (AR) dan virtual reality (VR), perpustakaan modern mampu
melayani pengguna dari berbagai latar belakang tanpa dibatasi oleh ruang dan waktu. Transformasi
ini memberikan kesempatan bagi masyarakat untuk mengakses informasi secara lebih fleksibel, baik
untuk tujuan pendidikan, penelitian, maupun kebutuhan pribadi. Namun, adopsi teknologi ini juga
dihadapkan pada berbagai tantangan, termasuk kesenjangan infrastruktur digital di beberapa wilayah,
serta kebutuhan akan peningkatan keterampilan digital bagi pengelola perpustakaan dan pengguna.
Artikel ini membahas berbagai bentuk inovasi digital yang diterapkan dalam perpustakaan,
dampaknya terhadap aksesibilitas, serta tantangan dan peluang yang muncul seiring perkembangan
perpustakaan digital. Dengan analisis ini, diharapkan perpustakaan dapat terus berperan sebagai
pusat pengetahuan yang inklusif dan memberikan manfaat bagi seluruh lapisan masyarakat.
Kata kunci: perpustakaan digital, inovasi, aksesibilitas, teknologi, kecerdasan buatan
Abstract
Digital innovation in libraries has significantly transformed the way information is accessed
and managed, creating broader accessibility for society. By implementing technologies such as online
catalogs, electronic books (e-books), collection digitization, artificial intelligence (AI), as well as
augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), modern libraries can serve users from various
backgrounds without being limited by space and time. This transformation offers society the
opportunity to access information more flexibly, whether for educational, research, or personal needs.
However, the adoption of this technology also faces several challenges, including digital infrastructure
gaps in some regions, as well as the need for improved digital skills among library managers and
users. This article explores the various forms of digital innovation applied in libraries, their impact on
accessibility, and the challenges and opportunities that arise with the development of digital libraries.
Through this analysis, libraries are expected to continue serving as inclusive knowledge centers,
providing benefits to all segments of society..
