Relasi kuasa dalam pengembangan perangkat lunak open source perpustakaan perguruan tinggi di Bali

Introduction. This research examines the process, form, ideology, and implications of power relations in the development of the open source software. The power relations are between library actors and programmers. So far, research on critical aspect of open source software is rarely done. Data Collection Method. This study used 17 (seventeen) internal and external library actors spread across 4 (four) universities in Bali as interviewees in a structured manner. Data Analysis. This study uses Foucault's theory of power relations as a 'genealogy' method and Derrida's deconstruction. Through these methods, it is hoped that the power of the actors and their relationships will be clearly identified, so that the phenomena behind the development of open source software can be uncovered Results and Discussions. The results showed that the development of university open source software starts from the idea and knowledge of the default system programmer, while the implementation in the library by the head of the library. The power relations of actors are not always parallel, but also in hegemonic and counter-hegemonic relationships. Therefore, Foucault's perspective of power relations is not absolutely applicable in the development. This power relation is influenced by the ideology of librarian, free, mutual cooperation, open source, and capitalist which has implications for libraries, librarians, and visitors. Libraries and librarians have begun to be marginalized, while the information seeking behavior of visitors has changed with the presence of open source software as an electronic library system. Conclusion. The process of developing open source software for universities in Bali shows the power relations of actors based on knowledge. Within these power relations work various ideologies that show forms of relation. The relation has implications related to the social, economic and cultural aspects of society.
