Abstract

Various articles suggest that artificial intelligence (AI) in libraries can enhance the learning experience, promote lifelong learning, and strengthen digital literacy. However, it is unclear if practicing librarians agree with these benefits. Malaysia and Indonesia, neighboring countries with similar library practices, may have differing or similar views on AI support for learning, lifelong learning, and digital literacy. To this effect, this study was conducted with the aim of assessing librarian perspectives on the support provided by AI in enhancing learning experiences, fostering lifelong learning, and advancing digital literacy initiatives. Additionally, it seeks to compare these perspectives between Malaysia and Indonesia. Using a survey research methodology and an online questionnaire as the data collection technique, the results of the analysis showed that librarians assessed the AI support for learning experiences, lifelong learning, and digital literacy favorably. It was also found that there was no significant difference in the assessments of librarians from these two countries. The contribution of this study is that it has provided empirical evidence regarding AI support in libraries, and developed a scale or measurement for assessing AI support for learning experiences, lifelong learning, and digital literacy. This instrument can be used as a guide when it comes to investing in AI technologies for libraries.

马来西亚和印度尼西亚图书馆员对人工智能支持学习体验、终身学习和数字扫盲的观点的探索性比较分析

多篇文章指出，图书馆中的人工智能（AI）可以提升学习体验、促进终身学习和加强数字素养。然而，目前还不清楚从业图书馆员是否认同这些好处。马来西亚和印度尼西亚是邻国，有着相似的图书馆实践，但对人工智能支持学习、终身学习和数字素养的看法可能不同，也可能相似。为此，本研究旨在评估图书馆员对人工智能在提升学习体验、促进终身学习和推进数字扫盲计划方面所提供的支持的看法。此外，本研究还试图比较马来西亚和印度尼西亚图书馆员的观点。分析结果显示，图书馆员对人工智能在学习体验、终身学习和数字扫盲方面的支持评价良好。研究还发现，这两个国家的图书馆员对人工智能的评价没有显著差异。本研究的贡献在于，它提供了图书馆人工智能支持方面的实证证据，并开发了一套量表或测量方法，用于评估人工智能对学习体验、终身学习和数字素养的支持。该工具可作为图书馆投资人工智能技术的指南。
