“…It seeks to 1) assess whether gender disparities among librarians manifest in demographic attributes, including age, highest education attained, study program, library type, and length of service; and 2) evaluate the potential association between gender and librarians' self-perceptions of their ICT competencies, as delineated by the 44 SKKNI indicators. The outcomes of this study promise to offer an empirical foundation for the formulation of a tailored LIS curriculum that aligns with the professional requirements of Indonesian librarians, resonating with recommendations by Mo et al (2019).…”

This study evaluates the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competency frameworks for librarians in Indonesia, focusing on gender differences. Despite the critical role of these frameworks in addressing digital age challenges, their efficacy in capturing gender-specific nuances in competencies is underexplored. This research surveyed 208 librarians, employing a questionnaire derived from the 2019 Indonesian National Qualifications Framework for Libraries (SKKNI). The survey, distributed via Google Forms, targeted librarians in various library types across Indonesia. Employing accidental random sampling, this research revealed significant disparities in ICT-related competencies across genders. While gender did not majorly influence the demographic characteristics of librarians in the ICT division, notable differences emerged in ICT competency based on gender. These findings highlight the need for gender-sensitive approaches in developing ICT competencies and suggest revisions to current frameworks to address gender-specific needs better, contributing to a deeper understanding of digital literacy and equity in Indonesian librarianship. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini mengevaluasi kerangka kompetensi Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) untuk pustakawan di Indonesia dengan fokus pada perbedaan gender. Meskipun kerangka ini penting dalam menghadapi tantangan era digital, efektivitasnya dalam menangkap nuansa spesifik gender dalam kompetensi belum banyak diteliti. Peneliti melakukan survei terhadap 208 pustakawan dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang berasal dari Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia (SKKNI) 2019 untuk Perpustakaan. Survei ini, yang disebar melalui Google Forms, menargetkan pustakawan dari berbagai jenis perpustakaan di Indonesia. Menggunakan sampling acak, penelitian ini mengungkapkan perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kompetensi TIK berdasarkan gender. Meskipun gender tidak terlalu mempengaruhi karakteristik demografis pustakawan di divisi TIK, perbedaan yang mencolok muncul dalam kompetensi TIK berdasarkan gender. Temuan ini menyoroti perlunya pendekatan sensitif gender dalam mengembangkan kompetensi TIK dan menyarankan revisi pada kerangka kerja saat ini untuk lebih mengakomodasi kebutuhan spesifik gender, berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang literasi digital dan kesetaraan dalam kepustakawanan di Indonesia

“…Singh and Shahid (2010) examined LIS education in India and found there was a lack of information technology in LIS education, and Tyagi and Yanthan's (2017) study analyzed the ICT contents of postgraduate degree courses in India, subsequently suggesting a more standardized curriculum which would meet international standards. Wijetunge (2009) identified six subject areas which were taught in most of the LIS programs in Sri Lanka, and Mo, Seon, Park and Kim (2020) analyzed the current status of LIS courses in South Korea. In Europe, Juznic and Badovinac (2005) analyzed changes in LIS curricula in the European Union and reported that LIS schools had changed their curricula to embrace the new generation of professionals.…”

“…Since a course can be offered in various credit hours, it is difficult to transfer the credit hours into the course numbers. However, according to Table III-41 (2009 and2020) which provided the list of required courses, 4-6 courses were most frequently designated as required courses. From the ALISE reports it is observed that the trend is towards fewer required courses, as more schools have shifted toward fewer required credit hours as a percentage of the total degree.…”

This study analyzed the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) statistical reports from 1997 to 2020. This study demonstrated that over the past twenty years, the LIS trends of diversity and interdisciplinary work have all been well reflected in the LIS curricula both in iSchools and non-iSchools, and LIS schools are preparing their graduates for evolving information environments.

The relevance of this study is determined by the current instability of the global political climate in the world and the outbreak of a number of military conflicts, which necessitates the study of the mechanisms of activity of structures that protect the interests of the population and the state. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to analyse the algorithm for the activities of civil defence authorities, particularly in wartime conditions. Among the methods used are the methods of logical analysis, deduction, synthesis, induction, functional analysis, analogy. This study provides a detailed analysis of the importance and key role played by civil protection agencies in addressing the challenges of protecting, ensuring security and developing society. The importance of their function lies in the effective implementation of strategies aimed at protecting the population and the state in times of threat and danger. The analysis in this paper takes into account the various components necessary for the successful management of various types of warfare. This includes the study of effective strategies for interaction and coordination between civil protection authorities and military command and control. Particular attention is paid to the key factors that determine the effectiveness of the organisation of interaction between military authorities and protection commissioners. Similarly, significant was the analysis of the demand for the resolution of qualitative foresight implementation tasks. Accordingly, an algorithm that will provide a more detailed and relevant examination of the wartime operational algorithm of the governing bodies has been developed. The practical value of the obtained results is that it will increase the appropriate level of combat alertness, the guarantor of the protection of the national interests of the state and its population, its territorial integrity and will generally raise the level of effectiveness of the relevant bodies considered
