Title: Indonesian higher education and academic libraries: Perceptions of department heads, faculty members and librarians

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the perceptions of department heads, faculty members, and librarians pertaining to the role of libraries at the universities and teacher training institutes (IKIPs) in Indonesia. The population of this study represented two provinces in Indonesia, Central Java and Yogyakarta, and included 83 department heads, 36 librarians, and 420 faculty members. A questionnaire was a main instrument to obtain data for this study. The questionnaire had three parts. Part I sought demographic information of the the respondents. Part II sought the respondents' perceptions concerning problems of academic library service. Part III sought the respondents' perceptions pertaining to the current and ideal role of the library. The major findings of the study show that a majority of librarians are in the ages of 46-50 years old; and there are more male librarians than female. A majority of respondents were included to agree on inadequate library budget, lack of space, insufficient qualified personnel, and poor collections as the greatest limiting factors for library service. Despite some differences in their perceptions, a majority of the respondents viewed the current activities of librarians are relatively minimal; they felt librarians should be more involved in performing their duties. Among the recommendations are the need for: (1) providing adequate financial support; (2) giving librarians full administrative authority to coordinate all library activities, and (3) establishing a programme to acquire library materials.
