MEMBANGUN KREATIVITAS PUSTAKAWAN PADA KEGIATAN PENGEMBANGAN KOLEKSI DI PERPUSTAKAAN

Abstract

Building librarian creativity in the collection of development activities is outstandingly needed in libraries. This activity includes the stages of collection development, starting from the legal basis for collection development (community analysis), collection development policy, selection, procurement, weeding, and assessment of library materials. Due to the creativity of librarians in the management of the collection, particularly in the development of collections, it is hoped that librarians can provide a new innovation related to the collection itself. Librarian  must be creative in managing collections because they are needed in the library especially in collection development. Admittedly, collection development activities do not directly meet with the library users, but these activities are very influential, arguably highly important in library because the library originates from this activity. Therefore, the point of every collection management in the library must go through a collection development process first, and in this process, bookkeeping officers are required to be more innovative in completing their responsibilities.
