The focus of Golden Indonesia 2045 lies in human resources and mastery of science and technology. Because this is one of the visions of Golden Indonesia 2045 echoed by Bappenas.
Meanwhile, the existence of libraries as providers of information and knowledge plays a role in exploring regional potential through reading materials that are appropriate for the development of community quality. Not only functioning as a repository. The library paradigm requires changes that make libraries open spaces. "And the hope of Indonesia Emas 2045 rests on the shoulders of today's students," said the Head of the Library and Archives Service of North Sumatra Province, Dwi Endah Purwanti.
In line with Endah, the Deputy for Library Resource Development of the National Library, Adin Bondar, emphasized that the open space provided by the library is believed to improve the quality of the abilities and lives of the academic community. Everyone has the opportunity to access, to be creative from the knowledge they gain.
"Economic poverty makes someone helpless because there is no good education process in improving the quality of life. That is why libraries must be included," said Adin.
North Sumatra Province, as the most populous region on Sumatra Island, is also struggling to reduce stunting rates through massive literacy strengthening. The need for reading materials is currently still not reaching the ideal condition with a comparison of the population, even the Pakpak Bharat and Simalungun regions still record illiteracy rates among elementary school students.
The literacy program, reading hobby talk shows, access to digital books (e-books), reading carts, book lending through delivery applications, to the establishment of dozens of digital reading points (POCADI) are expected to be able to be a solution to literacy problems in society.
Meanwhile, Professor of the University of North Sumatra, Prof. Jonner Hasugian assessed that the emergence of industry 5.0 must be addressed by libraries as an innovation in utilizing digital knowledge services.
"The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is an interesting solution and has the potential to optimize the role of libraries. AI encourages unlimited access and unlimited time libraries," he said.
According to him, AI is able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as recognizing objects, speech recognition, decision making, and interlanguage translation. The advancement of AI programming makes the development of smart libraries just a matter of time. "The library is user oriented. Without users, the library will run out," Jonner concluded.
