Abstract: Development of human resources that exist within an organization of the library is the most important thing

to do. Librarians can capture the knowledge base library that would have the expertise to advance the library

institutions they manage. As an engine within an organization is certainly the human resources required to

have expertise in need, to avoid mistakes and errors that will be detrimental to the libraries managed. This

study aims to describe the condition of human resource development in the college library. This study used

a qualitative approach with interviews and direct observation.

1 INTRODUCTION

Human resources are a very important factor for

improving the quality of products and services

(Opatha, 2009). No exception in the world of

libraries is essentially an agency that provides

information services that are needed by the user or

the access library (Harisanty, Shafira and Isbandy,

2020). HR is the establishment of an initial

foundation for the organization's management

system to achieve high quality in library

management efforts (Suhariono et al., 2022).

As the times institute libraries are required to

follow the progress of technology in view of the

public who need the information and the more easily

the information search process itself, the library

school, college, or official has the human resources

in the majority have no basis in the library world

(Srimulyo et al., 2020), but the position in the

structure organization for the management of the

library (Romadhona et al., 2022). This is likely to

cause problems for the progress of the library,

especially in the modern era such as this and as

librarians are required to master the development of

technology, if the basic elementary librarian is not

inherent in a librarian, this will certainly be able to

inhibit the progress of the library institution

(Hernoko et al., 2022).

Development of human resources seems to be

necessary to address the challenges of change in its

time (Romadhona, 2020). The development and

progress of technology in this era makes the library

has an obligation to be able to adapt to these

advances, the library and its organization system

should be able to keep up and know what is needed

in the present, so that the role of the library will

remain the same as it should be. The purpose of this

study is to describe the development of human

resources in the library Adibuana Surabaya.

3 RESEARCH METHOD

This study uses descriptive qualitative research

methods (Elliott and Timulak, 2005), to describe the

condition of the human resources in the university

library Adibuana Surabaya. Data collection

techniques with interviews and direct observation in

the library for one month. Informants in this study

was the leader and also the librarian. Results of

interviews and observation and then reduced in

accordance with the required data in this study. The

data is then already in if analyzed with theory and

existing research results to be deduced.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Human Resources Planning

Library

Libraries in the modern era such as this requires a

very SDM can participate in all areas / library

context. Not only can participate, it is also needed

personnel who can improve technically and think

ahead for library development. HR planning itself

should have a manpower recruitment-related

criterion that inevitably will participate in the

development of the modern era library (Subagyono,

Chumaida and Romadhona, 2022). Planning that

will be applied in this modern era of innovation.

which should contain not glued to the last era. Many

HR planning context itself that must be changed

(Romadhona, 2020). Related to human resources

planning are already listed in the Library,

HR Planning emphasizes how the initial steps of

organizing activities. Likewise, the existence of

plans for the process of recruitment and

development of available human resources can be

implemented according to library needs (Sudiarta,

Suhartika and Haryanti, 2016).

Similarly, many human resource planning is to

cover all aspects of labour criteria for later

implemented for the good service to the visitors /

readers to be more interest in the community who

are interested to the world of information library.

Not only to attract the public interest began to

decrease, but there are other purposes such as: avid

reader, skilled in learning, etc.

The results of my research and my colleagues as

follows:

Human Resources Planning Adibuana Surabaya

private library is a library is not directly open a

vacancy that can meet the required criteria, because

the system of recruitment which opened into a single

campus and a lot of labour that do not meet the

criteria (not field). The place where our libraries

have ways Following internship coaching program

as a librarian. Typically, the direct labour be

included into the coaching program 1-2 times. But

many workers who are in the field, and we have

asked that our library system where the internship

does not fix education levels. Most workers still do

not have a college degree, will be asked to open

college to earn a degree.

4.2 Human Resource Development

Library

Human resource management of the library is a way

to increase the existing potential and certainly

beyond the capacity of a standard, namely the

procurement, processing, service. There is one thing

that should be improved by the librarian that

individual motivation in performing existing tasks

(Sunyowati et al., 2022). Due to worry about if there

is no motivation for yourself, as a result obtained is

dormant job / no maximum. And it will have an

impact on library efforts to increase public interest

to prefer it to the library. There is one more thing

that should be improved, namely: skills in one area,

for example: Packaging to increase public interest /

students.

Human resources in an organization occupies a

strategic position in determining the success of the

organization itself. Achievement of the objectives as

determined by the shape of the success of human

resources in the context of the competence and

quality (Suwarno, 2016).

In terms of human resource development library

is required potential for very mature in order to

increase productivity in all context’s library. One

way to increase the productivity of labour is the

work Following training. As can be seen from some

of the famous library. Many of those who do

recruitment but gained even none are qualified in

their field. Therefore, the path to be taken so that the

workforce can improve work productivity is

Following competency training. This method is

proven to improve work skills.

Many universities in Indonesia crave want to be

one of the World Class University, as a proof of

quality and reputable. During this time, the college

less attention to the governance of the library and its

aspects. libraries have more quality time to be

directed to be able to support the college in the level

of the World Class University (Suwarno, 2016).

Development of Human Resources in Library Adibuana Surabaya

In the development of human resources of the

library, of course a lot of obstacles that exist,

especially when the workers are not willing to

develop a broader mind. Of course, it would hamper

the development of library resources. Because,

basically, one of the main things is the development

intention. If the labour force there is no intention,

then there will never be a significant development or

the appearance of half-and-half and not the

maximum.

In the private library Adibuana Surabaya has no

special techniques in developing tablespoons, but

when I was an intern there, there are workers who do

not have a library background but strongly tipped

know about coaching, management of collections

ranging from classification, cataloguing, and also

service at the library. From the results of the

observation interview it was found that they could

be because there was knowledge given by their

seniors, or librarians who knew about the library. In

addition, they are also training on librarianship. In

Adibuana library, knowledge sharing has been

carried out among employees whose benefit has not

been conceptualized.

During the observation in the library many

skilful way that library materials are processed looks

interesting, from what we were taught draw got a

lesson that person's potential not only learned when

he went to school, but he can get when he was

working. Adibuana development library is not

planned and structured, more than that if there is no

funding, training and employees are included. In the

development of human resources in the library

Adibuana Surabaya, need strategies and methods are

appropriate and correct that human resource

development is not misplaced or target, that would

be useful to improve the quality of the library, and of

course, also as expected. Strategies that can be taken

to enable the development of human resources could

produce results as expected. The competence of

human resources is a very important thing in an

organization.

Thus, the success of human resource

development should be realized libraries managed to

compete towards a higher level. Tablespoons needed

must have the intention beforehand to later if there is

a change of era, those who have been prepared to be

able to work more optimally. In building a library

that has the quality, there should be a community

must organize the library itself. Does not escape

from the things that we have discussed above; it

should be optimized is its human resources.

Development of human resources that the library

must have innovation then people who have read the

public interest is not diminished. Many innovations

can be done when the innovation is in the public

interest. As an organization that is expected to meet

the information needs of the community, the library

must have a compatible human resources and

continue to diligently perform a variety of related

innovations to achieve satisfactory quality and the

access of the library who are hungry for knowledge

and information.

5 CONCLUSIONS

The success of an organization can be seen from the

ability of human resources situated therein. If an

organization has a goal to be realized, the human

resources function as an engine is required to have

the ability to move in the field. In many cases, for

example in some libraries in Indonesia, there are

many diversions of resources does not play a role as

appropriate. This is indicated by the large number of

human resources to manage the library but do not

have competence in the field of library and

librarianship. Most librarians do not have the basic

knowledge that must be taken in order to obtain a

condition as a librarian, which should have a library

must have the appropriate human resources to

manage and can promote the library. It has happened

so long and have been entrenched in the library

scene in Indonesia.

In the process of development of human

resources and staff work placement assignments

librarians who have competence in the field of

library needs to be reemphasized and should be of

concern to serve as the basis to build a library that fit

the needs of Indonesian society in the present. By

doing so, the librarian who had already forged the

basic science and library science can easily see the

gap, shortcomings, has innovated creative and

library development strategy that they manage.

There is no doubt that if there is no background

as a librarian, anyone can manage the library with

capital development or several teaching processes,

the disadvantage is that they will become a librarian

at a minimum of new innovations but return to the

library regarding behaviour as information service

providers and are expected to meet people's

information needs.
