Abstract

[English Abstract]

Indonesia is a country with more than 200 million of population. While the number of libraries is so huge, there are only three universities opening graduate schools of library and information science and several universities open the undergraduate schools. The three universities (University of Indonesia, Padjadjaran University, and Gadjah Mada University) offer different focuses of librarianship. Gadjah Mada University focuses on literacy and access to libraries. Established in 1996, the school has shift from under the Department of State Administration to Sociology and now it is an independent department. Within the last two
years as an independent department, the students of the Graduate Schools of Information and Library Management, Gadjah Mada University have been directed to manage the
nation’s problem, i.e. illiteracy. However, it seems that students find it difficult to be “outside” of the library. Therefore, the researches they do are still closely related to the management of library operation; instead of the “outside” world of the library.
