1 INTRODUCTION

Library is one of learning source. The Library is the

institution managing the collection of written works,

printed works, and / or professional record work with

a standard system to meet the educational, research,

preservation, information, and recreation needs of the

users. Library as a vehicle for lifelong learning to

develop the potential of the community to become a

human who believes and cautious to God Almighty,

have a noble character, healthy, knowledgeable,

capable, creative, independent, and become citizens

of democratic and responsible in supporting the

implementation of national education (Undang-

undang Republik Indonesia, 2007).

The types of libraries include the National

Library, Public Library, School / Madrasah Library,

Library of Higher Education, and Special Library.

One type of library such as the school library. School

libraries itself are an integral part of learning

resources in schools.

Each school / madrasah organizes libraries that

meet the national standards of the library with respect

to the National Education Standards. The school

library is obliged to have a collection of textbooks

that are designated as compulsory textbooks on the

appropriate educational unit in sufficient quantities to

serve all learners and educators. School libraries

develop other collections that support the

implementation of the educational curriculum.

The school / madrasah library serves students of

equivalency education conducted within the

educational unit environment. The school / madrasah

library develops library services based on information

and communication technologies. Schools /

madrasahs allocate at least 5% of the school operating

budget / madrasah or expenditure of goods outside of

personnel expenditures and capital expenditures for

library development.

At this time there are still many schools that do

not have a library. Below is the data of the number of

SD and SMP libraries in Indonesia based on the 2011

Kemendikbud research results published by

Study of Evaluation of Library Organization with Indonesian National Standard in State Junior High School Bandung.

ISBN: 978-989-758-314-8

Based on the table above, there are many schools

that do not have a library, or there may be a library

but still not meet national standards. The Indonesian

National Standard (abbreviated as SNI) is the only

nationally accepted standard in Indonesia. SNI is

formulated by Technical Committee (formerly

referred to as Technical Committee) and determined

by Badan Standar Nasional (BSN). There are several

SNI especially in the library field, including SNI

School Library.

SNI 7329: 2009, School Library is intended to

provide guidance on library management that is

applicable to public and private school libraries

covering primary and secondary education. This

standard was discussed and agreed with consensus by

the Technical Committee 01-01 Library and Library

on 23 February 2009 in Jakarta and has received

feedback and input from the Indonesian

Standardization Society (MASTAN).

The application of standards is the use of a

normative document (including standards) by

interested parties in production, trade and other fields.

The application of the standard in the definition above

is essentially voluntary and can be done by various

parties concerned with the standards. The voluntary

nature of the application may become mandatory

when the standard is referred to by a regulation

established by a government in a country. Usually a

standard is mandatory when it comes to health, safety,

national economic development, and environmental

sustainability.

Based on the background that has been stated

previously, then the formulation of the problem that

became the focus in this study are: (a). How is the

conformity of library management implementation

with SNI of School Library? (B). What is the

suitability of library human resources with SNI of

School Library? (C). How is the suitability of library

facilities and infrastructure with SNI of School

Library?

Urgency of this research is to know the

implementation of SNI in school library field. SNI

Library School was published in 2009 and is expected

to be realized after 5 (five) years of the regulation is

published. This research is important to measure the

extent of school library supervision in accordance

with SNI of school library that is published by BSN.

School Libraries are libraries that exist or are held

in schools whether it is elementary, junior high

school, high school to high school like college.

School libraries are useful to support the learning

process whether students are in primary school or

high school. Most of the school library books consist

of a collection of textbooks or reading that can

support the learning process. The purpose of the

library is to increase interest and reading habits. But

not the same as the library in general, main purpose

of school library is to read to learn or add insight in

the field of science. Users of school library facilities

is the people who are in the school environment

whether they are students or educators (teachers).

School libraries have a goal that is to support the

implementation of educational programs such as

inculcate or foster children's interest to attract their

interest in reading. The school library is very

important for education.

Bafadal (2009) stated that the organization of

school libraries is not only to collect and store library

materials, but with the existence of school library, it

is expected to help students and teachers to complete

the tasks in the learning process. Suhendar (2007)

mentioned the purpose of the establishment of the

library is inseparable from the purpose of the whole

school education, which is to provide basic skills to

students, and prepare them for secondary education.

The benefits of school libraries according to

Bafadal (2009) are as follows.

 The school library can generate students' love

of reading.

 School library can enrich students' learning

experiences.

 School library can instill independent learning

habits that finally makes students learn

 independently.

 School library can accelerate the process of

reading techniques mastery.

 School library can help develop language

skills.

 School librarycan train students to be

responsible.

 School library can facilitate students in

completing school tasks.

 School library can help teachers find teaching

resources.

 School library can form students, teachers and

school staff in following the development of

science and technology.

In accordance with the library function that has

been stated previously the library should support the

learning process in school. The implementation of the

school library is expected in accordance with the SNI

of School Library field.

BSN (2009) School Library is intended to provide

guidance on library management that is applicable to

public and private school libraries covering primary

and secondary education. This standard was

discussed and agreed with consensus by the Technical

Committee 01-01 Library and Library on 23 February

ICES 2017 - 1st International Conference on Educational Sciences

2009 in Jakarta and has received feedback and input

from the Indonesian Standardization Society

(MASTAN).

The SNI aspects that are studied in this research

such as (1) managerial aspect, (2) human resources

aspect and (3) infrastructure aspect.

2 METHODS

The research method is evaluative research with

quantitative approach. In accordance with the

statement that is proposed by Sukmadinata (2007)

evaluative research is a design and evaluation

procedures in collecting and analysing data

systematically to determine the value / benefit of a

practice (education). The value / benefit of a practice

(education) is based on the results of measurement /

data collection using certain standards / criteria used

in absolute or relative terms.

The evaluative study in this study was conducted

to measure how the suitability of the implementation

of the school library that is being implemented with

SNI which has been established by the National

Standards Agency.

The focus of research is more directed on the

suitability of library implementation with SNI. The

main subject of the research in large scale (research

population) that is all the manager of SMP Negeri in

Bandung. Sampling technique in research can be

done by cluster sampling. To obtain data and

information from respondents of the research above,

then will be developed the tool / instrument of data

collector. Meanwhile to collect data of respondent

from the library manager SMP Negeri Kota Bandung

it will use the instrument in form of Questionnaire.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In general, the SNI of the library field has been met

by the respondents of the research, although there are

still some school libraries and some aspects that are

classified as quite good criteria.

Based on the table above, there are three school

libraries that are still in sufficient criteria, namely

school library with code of B1, B2, and B3. The

school library of B1 is still lacking in managerial and

infrastructure aspects. School Library of B2 is still

lacking in aspects of facilities and infrastructure. The

school library of B3 is still lacking in managerial and

human resources aspects. The A3 school library is in

good category, but still lacking in managerial aspects.

All school libraries are expected to meet the SNI

of the school library. The SNI areas of school libraries

studied in this study are managerial, human resources

and facilities also infrastructure.

Based on the results of data exposure, the

managerial area of the school library is already in

good criteria. However, when each school library is

reviewed, there are still school libraries with good

criteria, namely the school library code of A3, B1, B3.

There is also a school library that has very good

criteria with the code of A1. The rest is on the good

criteria. It can be concluded that aspects of the

managerial field have already been fulfilled by the

school library. Although there are still some school

libraries that have not fulfilled it. The

recommendation is to complete aspects of the

managerial area based on the SNI of the school

library.

Furthermore, the field of human resources school

libraries are already on good criteria. However, when

each school library is reviewed, there are still school

libraries with good criteria, namely school libraries

with codes of A1 and B3. There is also a school

Study of Evaluation of Library Organization with Indonesian National Standard in State Junior High School Bandung

library that has very good criteria namely the A3

code. The rest is on the good criteria. It can be

concluded that aspects of the human resource field

have been fulfilled by the school library. Although

there are still some school libraries that have not

fulfilled it. One indication is that there are still few

libraries headed by librarians, and librarian

development activities for head and library personnel

are still on occasional criteria. The recommendation

is for the future, it is expected that the head of the

library is directly headed by a librarian with a library

background. Then librarian development activities

should always be followed by the head and library

staff.

Furthermore, the school facilities and

infrastructure facilities are already in good criteria.

However, when each school library is reviewed, there

are still school libraries with good criteria that is the

school library with codes of B1 and B2. There is also

a school library that has very good criteria namely the

code of A1 and A3. The rest is on the good criteria. It

can be concluded that the aspects in the field of

facilities and infrastructure have begun to be fulfilled

by the school library. Although there are still some

school libraries that have not fulfilled it. One of the

indications is that there is still a school library that

does not have a library book, a book procurement

program, no computer. Also extensive school library

is still under SNI criteria.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of research and discussion in the

previous chapter, it can be concluded that the

managerial areas, human resources and facilities &

infrastructure of school libraries are on good criteria.

Although there are still school libraries that have not

met all aspects of the field. For example, in the

managerial field there are still school libraries that

have no vision and mission. In the field of human

resources, not all school libraries are headed by

librarians. In the field of facilities and infrastructure,

the extent of school libraries is still under the criteria

contained in the SNI school library.

Recommendations that can be submitted based on the

results of this study are related to the managerial field,

all school libraries should have a vision and mission

that refers to the vision and mission of the school.

With regard to human resources, the library head

should have a library background to make library

management more effective. Also related to human

resources, the development of librarians and

librarians should be intensified more intensively.

With regard to facilities and infrastructure, all school

libraries should have a master book and library book

development programs. With regard to the area of the

first school library room should meet the minimum

area of minimum listed in the SNI.
