Abstract

This research analyzes the preferences of Sunan Ampel Surabaya State Islamic University (UINSA) students towards digital libraries and their influence on literacy culture. Using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, this research explores students' experiences in accessing digital libraries. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, with purposively selected participants. The results showed that the digital library infrastructure at UINSA is adequate, but still needs improvement in accessibility, content relevance, and ease of use. Students' preferences are influenced by convenience, academic needs, and time efficiency, which have an impact on the intensity of their use. Strengthening the culture of literacy requires synergy between library managers, lecturers, and students through academic literacy programs. This research provides recommendations for optimizing digital libraries in supporting literacy culture in Islamic universities

Review

This study tackles a highly pertinent and contemporary issue concerning the role of digital library infrastructure and student preferences in fostering a culture of literacy within higher education. Focusing on Sunan Ampel State Islamic University (UINSA) Surabaya, the research employs a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, aiming to delve into students' lived experiences and perceptions. The use of interviews, observations, and document analysis suggests a comprehensive data collection strategy, suitable for gaining an in-depth understanding of the complex interplay between technology, user behavior, and educational outcomes in a specific institutional context. The abstract effectively sets the stage for a localized yet potentially generalizable discussion on digital library optimization and literacy promotion. The abstract highlights several key findings that are both insightful and practical. It identifies specific areas where UINSA's digital library infrastructure, despite being adequate, requires improvement – namely accessibility, content relevance, and ease of use. This provides concrete targets for enhancement. Furthermore, the identification of convenience, academic needs, and time efficiency as primary drivers of student preferences offers valuable insights into user behavior, directly impacting the intensity of digital library utilization. The study's conclusion regarding the necessity of synergy between library managers, lecturers, and students, through targeted academic literacy programs, underscores a holistic approach to cultural development rather than solely relying on technological solutions. While the abstract presents a robust qualitative design, the full paper would benefit from a more detailed account of the purposive sampling strategy, including participant characteristics and numbers, to further establish the depth and breadth of the phenomenological inquiry. Additionally, elaborating on the specific analytical steps taken within the phenomenological framework would enhance methodological transparency. Nevertheless, the research offers significant practical implications for UINSA and potentially other Islamic universities striving to optimize their digital resources and enhance literacy. The recommendations for infrastructure improvement and collaborative literacy programs provide actionable strategies for fostering a more engaged and digitally literate student body, paving the way for future comparative studies or quantitative investigations to broaden the understanding of these dynamics.
