    Building Connections, Powering Transformation: Indonesia’s Community Literacy Volunteer Model (RELIMA)
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-23) Wijiastuti, Sadariyah Ariningrum
    What does it take for a library to become a genuine center of community life? This question lies at the heart of IFLA Trend 7, which highlights a growing global demand for social connection. In resource-constrained settings where library infrastructure cannot reach every village or island, the answer may lie not in buildings or technology, but in people. Trusted community actors who connect residents, mobilize participation, and extend the library’s reach well beyond its physical walls. This paper presents RELIMA (Community Literacy Volunteers), a national program launched by the National Library of Indonesia in 2025, as a concrete and replicable response to IFLA Trend 7. In its inaugural cohort, 180 trained volunteers were deployed across 177 districts in 38 provinces from July to December 2025. Of these, 154 continued into 2026 and submitted reflective essays documenting their literacy program, roles, outcomes, community impact, and sustainability plans. Drawing on qualitative content analysis of 90 essays, this paper examines how RELIMA’s grassroots practices align with the six dimensions of IFLA Trend 7. Community network building (T7-6) was the dominant pattern, present in 62% of essays, followed by place-based program delivery (T7-1) at 22%. The analysis also reveals a significant gap: social cohesion (13%), intergenerational connection (12%), and the library as a third place (9%) are underrepresented, pointing to areas where LIS education and program design could offer stronger support. Through cases from Bali, Yogyakarta, East Java, West Kalimantan, and West Nusa Tenggara, this paper shows that RELIMA volunteers do far more than facilitate reading. They rebuild social fabric, one community at a time. The model offers practical lessons for LIS educators and practitioners globally, and speaks directly to the theme of WLIC 2026: Libraries Powering Transformation.

    Manga and Libraries: Bridging Popular Culture and Literacy Institutions in Indonesia
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-23) Wijiastuti, Sadariyah Ariningrum; Yodha, Muhammad Bagus
    Indonesia is home to one of Southeast Asia’s largest manga and anime fan communities. For decades, titles such as Doraemon, Detective Conan, Naruto, and One Piece have shaped youth reading culture and fandom in different ways. Yet Indonesian libraries and cultural institutions have not fully recognized manga culture as part of contemporary literacy practices. This paper examines how libraries respond to manga fandom and youth readership in Indonesia, highlighting gaps in collections, access, and engagement programs, while exploring opportunities for libraries to connect with young readers through popular culture.

    From National Data Platform to Global Knowledge Infrastructure: Metadata Standardization in DataON, Korea
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-23) Rhee, Hea Lim
    When 23 government-funded research institutes produce data under different metadata practices, how does a national platform become a trustworthy participant in global knowledge exchange? This poster presents DataON’s redesigned three-layer metadata standard, developed for Korea’s national research data platform operated by KISTI, serving 2.95 million records, and holder of Korea’s first CoreTrustSeal certification. Rather than a single rigid schema, the architecture combines a national Canonical Core, a FAIR and quality-maturity layer, and governed domain profiles. Layer 1 defines a canonical model built on DataCite 4.7 with full Dublin Core mapping, unconditional and conditional mandatory rules, and a unified persistent-identifier policy connecting datasets, researchers, institutions, and projects. Layer 2 organizes elements into Bronze–Silver–Gold–Platinum maturity tiers, extending toward AI-ready, machine-actionable metadata. Layer 3 operates community-developed domain profiles—geoscience, life sciences, social sciences—through formal approval, core-mapping, and validation rules, aligned with DCAT, OAI-PMH, and PROV-O. DataON’s experience shows that metadata standardization is not merely schema alignment but a socio-technical process—one that lets a national platform evolve into a living, verifiable standard and a genuine bridge to global knowledge infrastructure.
