Abstract

Libraries must carry out essential activities such as preservation and conservation, but in practice, various obstacles arise that prevent them from running smoothly. This study seeks to describe efforts to maintain and protect library items at the Bojonegoro University Library, as well as the challenges associated with carrying out these operations. This study employs descriptive research methodologies and a qualitative approach. Researchers analyzed data gathered through firsthand observations, interviews, and documentation. The Miles and Huberman model is used in the data analysis technique, namely for data reduction, data display, and conclusion drafting. Meanwhile, data veracity is checked using triangulation techniques.
