Bckground of the study: Digital curation activities are necessary for organizing digital archives to be accessible to the present and future. The problem in this research is that information and library management (MIP) students who have previously received records management (MRA) courses through digital curation have not fully implemented digital curation in managing digital archives.Purpose: This study aims to find out how MIP students curate digital archives of their photos and documents on the smartphone.Method: The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive approach and technique. Data used in interviews with five MIP students as informants.Findings: The results show that information in conducting digital curation activities such as digital object evaluation and discussion, life cycle and digital object management on an ongoing basis, and keeping them accessible, each individual has a unique and different way.Conclusion: Factor needs, memories, and usefulness of digital archive become a more determining factor in students in digital curation.
Background of the study: Institutional repositories are considered as one of the appropriate tools used by universities to store, preserve, and disseminate the scientific work of students and lecturers. Open access to institutional repositories allows students to access scientific works openly and they can get more complete parts of the work. However, there is another side of the institutional repository that has not received much attention, namely motivation and awareness about institutional repositories. Supported by data on student access to very high institutional repositories, this research was conducted at two universities in Yogyakarta, UII, and UNY.Purpose: This study aims to find out what motivations UII and UNY students to use institutional repositories and what is the awareness of UII and UNY students about institutional repositories.Method: The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with six UII and UNY students obtained based on snowball sampling techniques.Findings: The main motivation of UII students to use institutional repositories is to obtain references while the motivation of UNY students is because the institutional repositories are easy to use tools. In terms of awareness, UII and UNY students have a different awareness about institutional repositories which lie in knowledge, semester, understanding, medium, and willingness to store academic work in institutional repositories.Conclusion: Motivation and awareness are the two main keys that students must possess to succeed in the sustainability of the institution's repository.
