Perpustakaan Sebagai Learning Resource Center: Konsep dan Implementasi di Pendidikan Modern
Keywords:
Library, Learning Resource Center, Digital Library, E-learning, Education
Abstract
The development of information technology has driven the transformation of libraries from conventional systems to Learning Resource Centers (LRCs), which serve as learning resource centers in modern education. This study aims to examine the concept and implementation of libraries as Learning Resource Centers and their impact on educational quality. The method used was descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach, collecting and analyzing data from various relevant scientific journals and books. The study results indicate that modern libraries no longer function solely as information providers but have evolved into learning centers integrated with technologies such as digital libraries and e-learning. Furthermore, the role of librarians has also changed to become learning facilitators, supporting the development of information literacy and critical thinking skills. The implementation of Learning Resource Centers has had a positive impact on increasing access to information, learning independence, and learning quality. However, several challenges remain, such as limited infrastructure, human resource competency, and policy support. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed through technological enhancement, librarian competency enhancement, and institutional support to ensure libraries function optimally as innovative and sustainable learning resource centers
