Peran Perpustakaan Sekolah Pascasarjana dalam Menunjang Penulisan Karya ilmiah

Abstract

Graduate school libraries play a strategic role in supporting academic activities and student research, particularly in the writing of scholarly works at the master’s and doctoral levels. High academic demands require graduate students to produce systematic scholarly writing based on a strong literature review and supported by credible and up-to-date information sources. This study aims to describe in depth the utilization of graduate school library services in supporting students’ scholarly writing. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with graduate students and librarians, observations of library service utilization activities, and documentation studies of library policies and service reports. The findings indicate that library services such as reference services, print and digital collections, academic journal databases, institutional repositories, and information literacy guidance are significantly utilized by students to support the scholarly writing process. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, including limited user understanding of certain library services, time constraints, and suboptimal dissemination of library services. This study concludes that the utilization of graduate school library services contributes positively to improving the quality of scholarly writing, highlighting the need to strengthen the role of libraries through service development and sustainable user support strategies.
