“…After facilitating students with a leadership development program, the university needs to evaluate its impact on their leadership skills. Milton and Meade (2018) assessed three parameters to reflect on the program: (1) how an individual made meaning of the gained experience; (2) how an individual was engaged in group work to attain the success of the program and (3) how the group could contribute to the community. In addition, Warwick (2016) offers two general dimensions of education for sustainability in framing the development of student leadership, namely holistic relational dimensions (the biosphere dimension which is related to people and planet, the spatial dimension which is related to place contexts and the temporal dimension which is related to time frame) and pedagogical dimensions (the critical dimension which is related to systems of thinking, the creative dimension which is related to creative capacities and active learning dimension which is related to the pursuit of sustainability).…”

“…For example, the university mediates the development of student leadership through a series of activities such as classroom projects and internships through which students can apply theory into practice (Olsen and Burke, 2014). To add, Milton and Meade (2018) open an opportunity for students to participate in the library student liaison program performing basic tasks of the academic library to develop their leadership skills. Also, Fox and Kang (2018) reported that faculty supported international social work conferences organized by undergraduate students to exercise their leadership skills.…”

PurposeThis phenomenological case study reports how 16 participating students built their leadership skill through a community-based service-learning project as a part of their undergraduate program at an Islamic university in Indonesia. Education for sustainability framework promoted by Warwick (2016) was employed to portray students' leadership development and explore their lived experience while doing service-learning project in their neighborhood.Design/methodology/approachPhenomenological case study was employed to portray how the participants engaged in projects that empower the community during their service amidst the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. They were interviewed using online platforms such as WhatsApp and Zoom Meeting. To triangulate the data, the photos elicited during their field study posted in social media were also presented as visual data. The interview data and photo elicitation were transcribed, interpreted using interpretative phenomenological analysis and thematically analyzed.FindingsThe findings of the study showcase that the student participants transformed their sense of agency as learners into leaders. The service-learning program has also become a springboard for them to engage in the community service and build strategy to fill the local community's need, especially amid the pandemic of COVID-19.Research limitations/implicationsThere are two limitations in regards to this study. First, this study only examined data garnered from a small number of participants that could not be used to overgeneralize the results of the study. Second, the participants were interviewed upon the completion of their service-learning project. It did not investigate the sustainability of the projects that the participants had carried out after the service-learning program ended.Originality/valueWhile ample previous studies investigated how service-learning program that involved undergraduate students were enacted during COVID-19 pandemic, the present study specifically looked into how participants exercise their leadership skill upon the implementation of service-learning from education for sustainability framework promoted by Warwick (2016).

“…20 Using the Social Change Model of leadership development, Milton and Meade found that students who learn to promote library resources through experiential learning also grow and develop as leaders. 21 Open communication, engagement within the library community, and constant redevelopment of student employee programs foster opportunities for leadership. However, Charles, Lotts, and Todorinova's survey of 350 student library employees found that while students report a generally positive experience working in the library, they may have a limited understanding of the rewards of their positions, and at the same time the library may not be tapping into the full potential of their contributions.…”

School library, as an information unit will have a good performance if it has adequate management. This study used a qualitative approach with multi-site study design. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of this study are as follows: (1) school library planning is determined by participatory, appropriate processing of library materials, procurement planning of library materials based on bottom-up need analysis, publication activity, funding, and excellent service for visitors; (2) organization of the school library is determined by the availability of organization structure, job division, authority division, command unity, and definite coordination; (3) the success of school library implementation is determined by participatory, the direction and motivation from leader to subordinates, healthy communication and awarding to librarians; and (4) evaluation of the school library is determined by the availability of complete and comprehensive periodic written reports.
