| dc.description.abstract | Professional ethics in librarianship is significant because it sets the framework and
boundaries for librarians to achieve excellent service in the future and be
responsible to each person and society. This research aimed to investigate the
implementation and obstacles of the professional code of ethics for librarians in the
Regional Library and Archive of Aceh Tamiang Regency. This was descriptive
research with a qualitative approach, requiring primary and secondary data with
data collection techniques namely observation, interviews, and documentation. The
7 informants selected by the researcher to collect the data were librarians, head of
agency, and library users. The collected data were then analyzed in several stages:
data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The data were also
validated using techniques, namely source triangulation, technique triangulation,
and time triangulation. The research findings indicate that librarians at the
Regional Library and Archive Service of Aceh Tamiang Regency have attempted
to implement the Librarian Code of Ethics, but have experienced obstacles in its
implementation. This is due to the lack of cooperation between librarians and the
IPI Supervisory Commission in implementing the librarian code of ethics. The
main obstacles in implementing the code of ethics for librarians at the Regional
Library and Archive Service of Aceh Tamiang Regency are as follows: (a)
Unavailability of Supervisory Commission on the code of ethics for IPI librarians
to supervise the implementation of the code of ethics; (b) Lack of interest among
librarians in joining professional organizations such as IPI; (c) Gaps in
socialization and direction regarding the implementation of the code of ethics,
confusing librarians' implementation and evaluation of the applicable code of
ethics. This research concludes that the UMSU Library has implemented the five
promotion mix indicators optimally despite encountering several problems in
planning and implementation. Therefore, librarians at the Regional Library and
Archives Service of Aceh Tamiang Regency experience obstacles in
implementing the Librarian Code of Ethics due to a lack of cooperation with the
IPI supervisory commission. | en_US |
