CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION IN LIBRARIES: REPRESENTATION OF PENGINYONGAN CULTURAL IDENTITY
Libraries have an important role beyond being providers of information in the world of education; libraries provide space for the preservation and development of cultural heritage. One example is the UIN SAIZU Library. This study aims to analyze the representation of Penginyongan cultural identity through a library based on local wisdom. This research uses a qualitative-interpretative method with an ethnographic approach. The results of the study indicate that the UIN SAIZU library is able to strengthen the representation of Penginyongan culture through: 1) Collections in the form of printed works, artifacts, and even audio-visual materials that reflect the life of the Penginyongan community, 2) Several collections and gates of the "Penginyongan Museum and Library" created by UIN SAIZU have a dialogical interaction between Penginyongan culture and Islam. 3) The collections and cultural values of Penginyongan in the library are reconstructed by the Penginyongan community in everyday life. This research has significantly advanced the understanding of the importance of strengthening culture based on local wisdom in the context of libraries.
