The Head of National Library, Muhammad syarif Bando durig a talk show - 

To achieve the target of increasing public literacy, it is necessary to improve the quality of library service facilities. Such as the transformation of the library as an open public space is also needed, so that it can shift the old mindset about libraries.

One of them is through the Social Inclusion-Based Library Transformation (TPBIS) program, which has been running for four years.

Now it is able to make the library a center of knowledge, a vehicle for learning, giving birth to community innovation and creativity. Even encouraging economic recovery after the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Head of the National Library, Muhammad Syarif Bando, said that the TPBIS program targets marginalized communities, such as people in slum areas, people in poor areas, small farmers, small farmers, workers, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to mothers. -Housewife.

"Through this program, the community is given training to improve skills through applied books in the library," said Syarif, in a talk show with the theme 'TPBIS Smart Solutions for Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery', Thursday (13 /4/2023).

The Head of National Library continued, the purpose of launching TPBIS was to solve problems starting from the grassroots. This is because one of the characteristics of a developed country is being able to provide solutions to problems at the lowest level.

"This is irrelevant attached to anyone who has a position as a state administrator. So, it has to be inclusive. In the past, traditional libraries only collected books and waited for the public to read them, but now that has changed.”

According to a release received by Voice of Indonesia on Thursday, the 18th century the library became a symbol for the nobility, and rulers. Then the library in the modern era how can reach the community. The most fundamental is about how to cultivate a reading culture.

“Don't ask someone who is hungry to read. But, you have to have a strategy on how to look at books that have solutions for solving economic problems, especially during a pandemic," said Syarif.

Syarif continued, in the implementation of the TPBIS program, his party had never guided the public to choose certain skills. The library actually adjusts to the community's desired economic choices in accordance with the existing potential.

"We will contribute to optimizing with all our capabilities to facilitate relevant sources of information," he said.
As for the TPBIS mechanism, continued Syarif, the National Library opens space for regional governments starting from neighborhood associations (RT), community associations (RW), village/lurah heads to regional heads.

TPBIS which is implemented in libraries at the provincial, district/city, to village/kelurahan levels is considered effective and the benefits are felt by the community. TPBIS is a library service approach that is committed to improving the quality of life and welfare of the library user community.

"Bung Karno's message was to stand on one's own feet, starting from imagination by reading (applied) books," said the Head of National Library.

According to Syarif, training and skills improvement for marginalized communities is very important. This is because they have been poor for four reasons. First, mastery of knowledge is lacking. Second, minimal innovation and creativity. Third, access to capital is lacking. Fourth is the culture of the people who speak more than read.

Meanwhile, since 2018, the TPBIS program has provided assistance to 34 provinces. For nearly five years, the TPBIS program has touched more than two million beneficiaries, from the initial target of 100 thousand people. This shows great public interest, and many people have experienced the positive benefits of this program in an effort to improve their quality of life and welfare.

The TPBIS program was enthusiastically welcomed by Member of Commission X DPR RI, Putra Nababan. He supports, and appreciates National Library of Indonesia's breakthrough program, which according to him exceeds the duties and responsibilities that should be//VOI

The Head of the National Library, Muhammad Syarif Bando, when he became the keynote speaker for Increasing the Community Literacy Index (PILM) for Banda Aceh City - 

The rapidly changing world demands changes in various fields. Humans are forced to adapt to change. Like it or not, intelligence capital is needed so as not to be eliminated in the disruption that occurs.

“A smart nation correlates with well-being. And the duty of the library is to educate the nation's children according to the mandate stated in the 1945 Law," said the Head of the National Library, Muhammad Syarif Bando, when he became the keynote speaker for Increasing the Community Literacy Index (PILM) for Banda Aceh City, Tuesday (21/03).

Why do we need an intelligent and literate society? The Head of National Library continued, because soon Indonesia will enter the democratic party.

This is where the potential for information disruption occurs which often leads to hoaxes, so literacy skills are needed to avoid misunderstandings or lack of understanding of information.

In fact, Indonesia still has literacy problems. Low literacy results in a low human development index, low income per capita, and lack of competitiveness.

In the social order it also has an impact on increasing crime rates, declining quality of health so that the poverty rate increases.

"Low literacy has a multiplier effect on development issues," added Syarif Bando.

According to a release received by Voice of Indonesia on Tuesday, the presence of the library does not regulate the tasks of agriculture, the creative economy, nor the role of cooperatives and MSMEs. But the library presents books to educate people with knowledge because a lot of jobs are wasted and taken by other countries because they are braver to see opportunities and are smart.

"There must be awareness," said the Head of National Library

Therefore, the existence of the library must be utilized as widely as possible by the community. For centuries, libraries have been the foundation of education, knowledge, and provide access to information and knowledge needed according to the times.

One of the significant contributions made is the emphasis on social inclusion. Where the library acts as the epicenter of social interaction, where many people learn and grow to be successful.

"Libraries have a big role in helping MSMEs, encouraging economic growth in villages so they can compete in global business," said Regional Secretary of Banda Aceh City Amiruddin.

The active role of local government and all related institutions is needed. They must have new methods, new concepts and theories so that MSMEs are assisted in product dissemination or creativity.

"And that cannot be obtained except by reading," said the Deputy for Development of Library Resources of the National Library of Indonesia, Adin Bondar.

In line with Adin's statement, member of Commission X DPR RI Illiza Sa'aduddin Djamal that humans cannot gain knowledge without reading. The shift in the meaning of literacy is now not limited to reading and writing, but literacy has penetrated technology, culture and other sectors.

"In 2023, Aceh will build a library building worth 10 billion in central aceh district, simelue and sabang city.
When we face the challenge of recognizing the value of our heritage, this has an impact on the difficulty of investing in skills and knowledge in producing quality local products. Local products have special attention, high quality, unique and definitely popular. We must work together to develop an awareness strategy by building networks and demonstrating the value of product diversity. Maximize the role of the library down to the villages"//VOI

e-catalog launching in Jakarta - 

The development of an efficient and effective government is very important in realizing prosperity and progress for all people. Therefore, the government must continue to innovate and develop systems that provide the best service to the community.

The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves), Luhut B. Pandjaitan said that this could be realized through the implementation of the Electronic Based Government System (SPBE) and its architecture.

"Digitalization is very important. Now, I ask that we all integrate. Let's all help the 7 ministries/institutions where I said all must be in one, that's SIMBARA, we'll make one that handles coal now, we'll put it in later. Oil palm, we also include ports. It's suddenly going up, is our tax revenue 48.6% from efficiency because everything is integrated. This is what we are building, an ecosystem so that it will reduce corruption, it will create efficiency. It will also create innovations from young Indonesians," explained Coordinating Minister Luhut.

According to a release received by Voice of Indonesia on Monday, SPBE is a breakthrough to realize excellent service to the community by increasing efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of government performance. In this case, simplicity is key, both in rules, processes, and applications.

Every service element must be oriented to the needs and convenience of the community and business actors. Coordinating Minister Luhut explained that one of them is through digitalization through the existence of e-catalogs.

"I also believe that all of you can do that. Now digitalization is running. You can see that now the e-catalog has 105 billion dollars or 1,600 trillion rupiah, of which nearly 90% of us have imported so far. Now it is gradual, starting from last year.

"We have started to enter the e-catalog, it was 400 trillion rupiah last year. This year the President gave instructions yesterday at Senayan that we have to achieve 90% this year and it can," added Coordinating Minister Luhut.

Furthermore, to accelerate the implementation of SPBE in 7 Ministries/Institutions under the coordination of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.

Coordinating Minister Luhut stressed that SPBE must create citizen-centric services where all service processes and results must be oriented to the interests of citizens and easy to use.

Then, there is a need for data standardization and full interoperability between all applications both intra and between ministries/institutions to ensure SPBE can run in a completely integrated manner.

Closing his remarks, Coordinating Minister Luhut asked for the cooperation of all parties to be able to unite and support service integration through this SPBE.

"Therefore, I ask Ministerial friends who are present here, let's jointly unite us to have this work. I believe once again that our second pillar is digitalization that will make our economy better in the future and I believe that there will be here from East Java, Mr. Anas's IT system is already good, West Java is also good and many places are also good. So, how do we just connect it," concluded the Coordinating Minister Luhut//VOI
