A. Learning From History
History has proven that drugs can reincarnate into "mass destructive weapons." A nation's civilization can be destroyed with poison the young generation with the drugs. History of opium war in China to prove that the strength of a nation can be devised with ditaklukkan drugs. British troops kolonialis successfully conquer China after the country is able to make Chinese opium addiction.
Since the beginning of the century to -19, the traders in the UK illicit opium trade to China and get a big hit. Cinalah who bear the consequences arising from the bad this trade. Therefore, the Chinese anti-opium movement do.
Encyclopedia Nasional Indonesia (1997) mentioned in the year 1837, making China the incentive anticandu propaganda and tighten control of trade with the close supervision of the port, an important port for Chinese traders English. In addition, China also apply the death penalty for opium users, including the scholars and the military.
English feel wronged and want to force China to open pelabuhannya for English traders. Tension, and after going over the killing of villagers by British people who are drunk, meletuslah war. China demanded that those guilty are handed to them, but with characteristic British kolonialnya decline.
As a result, the Emperor decided to destroy all the opium warehouse and its contents belong to the UK in Cantonese. On March 1839, terjadilan events beribu burning thousands of chest-owned British opium in Cantonese.
In the UK is also declaring war against China. Some of the coastal city of China attacked and seized by the British. After the war lasted for three years, England have victory and forcing a successful agreement with China. This Agreement is known as the Nanking Agreement signed on 29 August 1842.
In this agreement, among others, set: China must open the port Cantonese, Amoy, Foochow, Ninghsien, and Shanghai to British traders; European people in China get privileges; Hong Kong to the UK; the determination of import duties by the UK government, and China should pay war damages to the UK. Nanking this Agreement trigger kolonialis countries such as France, Germany, and Russia also demanded privileges.
War between China and the UK erupt again in 1856, when the English would wreak with lust kolonialismenya expand trade network in China. France and help the UK respond to demand top terbunuhnya French missionaries in the Chinese hinterland. China again suffering defeat in the war and forced to sign this agreement Tientsien the year 1858.
This Agreement is self-mocking Chinese because English forces melegalkan opium trade. Activists also broke out again until the year 1860. British allied with the French successful jockey howl and ransack property palace. China back howl forced to sign the Convention, which asserts that China is ready to receive the provisions in the Agreement Tientsien the melegalkan Drug trafficking. Of China was subdued in the hands of terrorism drugs that happy smile.
B. Of terrorism
Malik bin Nabi, an intellectual home in the Al Jazair write a book titled Syuruut Al-Nahdhah, wake up and that a failure of civilization depends on who is to be a "panglimanya". He said that a civilization will continue to climb, when the rise to "panglimanya" is the ruh. Ruh With a civilization that civilization will be clean and not terkotori. At the time this will be considered to reach the actual summit.
In the second phase, civilization will have a broadening of the expansion and development is not, when you become a player in the civilization that is preposterous. Of the intellect will be interesting to pull a fast way between the ruh and the chaste. The occurrence of pull interesting result of this will continue to stretch and not to increase value.
In the next phase, a destruction of civilization will experience when the bankruptcy and to "panglimanya" is carnality. At this point the slide will be swift to point the bottom
Malik Bin Nabi expression gives a lesson to us, that human civilization will always be an ebb and flow. When the ruh spiritualisme and morality became the commander of a civilization will be able to reach the peak of civilization. However, when reason and chaste morality has been overcome, then the rocket will fall to zero point.
Chinese civilization is known as the oldest civilization in the history of the world by terrorism feudatory drugs. This is because of this failure to respond to challenges and threats that are evolving. Emperor of China never imagine that opium will be the ringleader of China from the destruction of sovereign nations into a colonial nation.
This is consistent with the A Arnold Toynbee in A Study of History that says, that a bankruptcy is caused by the inability of actors to respond to the challenges that are evolving.
When a nation can not afford to give more answers to the challenges of developing and drowned in kejumudan, it can be ascertained that the decomposition will be. The failure of response to the challenge this indicates impotensi in civilization is.
History will continue to be repeated. The drug at the beginning of the century to -19 has been successfully destroyed the Chinese civilization, is now in the new millennium bereinkarnasi three drugs have become a potential terrorism that destroyed the civilization of mankind.
Drugs together with the advanced technology has modified itself into serious threat to all the nations. In 2005, the UN said that the data habitue drug addict in the world reached 200 million people.
In the land of water, BNN survey in 2006 showed prevalence of drug abuse during life of 8.3%. The higher the education level the higher prevalence figures. Prevalence of drugs in the secondary at 6%, increased to 9% in high school, and 12% in universities. They are a private school in the senior secondary level (10%) and universities (12%) higher prevalence than public schools and religion.
Survey results also show the increasing trend of drug abuse had a number of use of 5.8% in 2003 to be 8.3% in 2006. This indicates that the drug circulation becomes increasingly widespread, visible throughout the province have found a number drug abuse and almost no much difference between the percentage figures in the abuse of the city and district.
More than half of trespasser drugs are on the age group 15-19 years (58%), especially those who sit on benches in the senior secondary school (94%). This may be because dimaklumi in senior secondary school age are in this age range. There are differences between age groups with a trespasser in the city district. In the age group of less than 15 years trespasser more are in the district, while in the age group above 20 years more in the city.
Data above statistics confirm the existence of drugs as the number one terrorist in the world. Why? Because abuse of drugs will trigger a crisis in many areas of life. Drugs produce a domino effect extraordinary.
First, mendegradasikan moral community. BNN research in 2006 said that theft, fraud, spoliation, and hold a follow-crime carried out by the many drugs trespasser. Percentage who had stolen the family owned about 16% in the regular-use group and 24% in the habitue, who had stolen goods belonging to other people is 5% in the group of regular use and 13% in the habitue. While that never deceive, to seize, hold, or about 4% in the regular-use group and 9% in the habitue.
Second, the economic system. Habitue drugs will tend to spend income to buy drugs. Economic losses and social drug abuse in Indonesia in 2004 is estimated Rp.23, 6 trillion, and the number of trespasser drugs estimated 2.9 million to 3.6 million people, equivalent to 1.5% of the population of Indonesia (BNN & Puslitkes UI, 2005).
Third, cause physical and spiritual health. According to Dadang Hawari (Republika, July 2003), people who have been depending on drugs, the life experience of the soul so that the interference is no longer able to function as normal in society. Dadang Hawari research results show that 53.5% experienced heroin users aberration tuberculosis, 55.1% experienced liver function difference, 56.6% have hepatitis C infection, and 33.3% experienced virus infections of HIV / AIDS.
In addition, the RI Department of Health data, during the period of 1987 s / d in 2006 of AIDS cases due to the use of syringe drug penetrate from the 4122 figure (8,194 cases) far above the other factors triggered AIDS. Such as blood transfusion, gay, and perinatal transmission.
C. Character Education
According to Jalal Amin (2006), globalization is the rapid contraction in the distance between the human community, whether related to the transfer of commodities, people, capital, information, ideas or values. This means that globalization is a process of elimination territorial boundaries between one nation with other nations. This process of elimination continues until a step ranah cultural nation.
Ironically, the younger generation we accept globalization without a filter. Pengagungan over the dose of globalization has caused people to lose our roots and cultural history. Foreign culture with all its forms has memarginalisasi national culture and local culture. Three foreign domination product F, food (food), fashion (clothing), and fun (entertainment) in daily life so obvious.
The above phenomena indicate that our youth are very vulnerable to the influence of foreign culture. All things foreign are considered "good and modern." This resulted in the young generation like us to try-try something that is considered representative of modern life.
In the perception of young people, drugs is something that is quite challenging to try. Originally just try, to feel the effects after the grace They hooked. Once hooked they will do anything to get the goods is prohibited. Defense of the future generation is also eventually collapse.
BNN survey in 2005 found that the average age of first drug use around 18-19 years with a range of 10 to 32 years. The reason for using the drug the first time raised a lot of abuse in the household is fun (56%) and because of duress (22%). Whereas in order to abuse drugs in the house kos, the reason for using the drug the first time that many would like to try is raised (62%) and the solicitation / blandishment ternan (18%).
Ironically, most of the respondents in the household and in the house kos pemah with drugs, but who knows what the danger of drugs and drug-only 65% of households and 85% at home. That is, they become the drugs was not caused factors ignorance but exactly because they know that they have on. Know the dangers of drugs but the drugs would still like to try to prove that there was something wrong with our education system.
Education has failed to build national character of our youth. Education produces graduates who simply memorize knowledge not understand, menghayati, and a confident knowledge. As a result, our young generation terbius easy charm by pop culture
Piliang Yasraf According to Amir (2003), in the context of pop culture phenomenon with korelasinya and lifestyle, and how it was built entirely by industrialization and capitalism that makes the current media as the "propaganda" this is it, pop culture is often suspected as a strength that hegemonik fascist, identity and imagination when someone is determined from the top. Clearly, all these have impact on the way to view reality.
Pop culture brings us to the reality that all the surface. Reality that is only just outside the skin, a false reality, a simulakra. Pop culture is capitalism children uterus because it can not be released from industrialization. Recognized or not, pop culture participate in the share distribution of drug abuse. Unconsciously, pop culture has taken the role as a catalyst be adolescent drug abuse.
Sinetron film or glass picisan Is wide and often promote the lifestyle of young people as popular dugem, girls over-dose, oiled-up techniques mabukan even inject drugs. Ironically, that sinetron is that our young people avoid drugs even unwittingly changed to promote the use of drugs.
To fight against drugs, education must prepare a draft national education berkarakter strong. During this learning methodology is only focused on the approach to the left brain / cognitive, that is only require students to learn and memorize the concept of truth and without touching the feelings, emotions, and nuraninya. In addition, there was no practical implementation of the behavior and values of goodness and noble character in the life of the school. This is an error metodologis the fundamental moral teaching in the human.
Because it is not strange if found numerous inconsistencies between what is taught in schools and what is applied to children outside the school. Thus the role of parents in religious education for children formed the characters (read: character) to be very absolute, because the parents also have children's sustainability values of goodness that he was aware at the school.
Without the involvement of parents and the family then any values that are taught in schools will be futile, because character education (or morals in Islam) must contain elements afeksi, feeling, touch world, and practice together in the form of the practice of daily life .
Character education has the meaning of higher education's moral, not just because it teaches the truth, and one which, more than that character education inculcate habits (habituation) of the good things so that students understand a (cognitive aspect) about where the good and one, able to feel (afektif aspects of) the value of the good and want to do it (aspects psikomotorik).
In character education Lickona (1992) emphasize pentingya three components of good character (components of good character) that is moral or knowing about moral knowledge, moral feeling or sense of morality and moral action or moral act. This is necessary so that students are able to understand, feel and do as well as good values.
Foerster describes four basic characteristics that character education is quite important to inject the spirit of anti-drugs in the hearts of students, first, the interior regularity measure each action based hierarchy of values into action every normative guidelines. Students understand the hierarchy of values with good will not be easily tempted by the drug court has a variety of standard values to prevent. Religious norms, community, family, and the country is "immunization soul" to reject drugs.
Second, the coherence that gives someone the courage to make firm on principle, does not vacillate in the new situation, or fear of risk. Hold the principles of truth, courage is required competencies acquired by students. If the school is able to embed with the good nature of this, the outside of the school students will also have the courage to say, "No" on the invitation to friend using drugs interact.
Third, autonomy. Menginternalisasikan someone from outside the rules until a value for time. This can be seen through a personal assessment on the decision without pressure affected the other party. Sovereignty of the soul of students need to be built by educators, they are not easily affected by gentle persuasion-drug demons that continue bergentayangan.
Fourth, dependability and loyalty. Persistence is endurance someone want to be D. Interest Read
Character education can only be implemented if the schools in the ground water can stimulate the growth of interest in the students read. An interest in research to prove that someone reading will affect the character.
Magazine Child Development (January / February 2006) as cited H. Witdarmono (Kompas, 8 September 2006) published the results of research on the relationship between reading ability and aggressive attitude of the elementary school students. Miles Stipek research and find the relation between the level of reading ability and level agresivitas. In this study, aggressive behavior is limited in the four groups, "slasher", "not sabaran", "the love", and "custom pressing other children (bullying)."
Children grade 1 primary school, the reading ability is relatively low, while in grade 3, tend to have high levels agresivitas. Also, children, class 3, which has the ability to read low, tend to have highly aggressive attitude while in class 5. Perhaps, at the same level of association with them, children of low reading ability that is more frustrasinya accumulate. This makes them become aggressive. Conversely, there is relevance between social attitudes and the ability to read. The social attitude is "helpful", "understand the feelings of others," "have empathy," "no attention to the difficult," and "helpful / entertaining friends disappointed." Children's social attitudes that have a good time in kindergarten and grade 1 primary school are more able to develop the ability to read at grade 3 and grade 5 elementary school.
Research proves that the students who have a high interest in reading will tend to have a strong character. This is because reading is a complex process. Not only the process of reading is complex, but every aspect of the process of reading is also working with the very complex.
There are eight aspects of the work when we read, the aspects of sensori, perception, sekuensial (order of administration), experience, thinking, learning, association, and afeksi. Dikata may, during the progress, all aspects of psychiatric work on. The younger generation that this is a strong berkarakter will soon blossom into the next generation anti-drugs. Generation that has a high immunity to the drugs.
Ironically, most of our young generation is the generation of poor interest in reading. Dilansir data that describes the BPS in 2003, the Indonesian age of 15 years in the newspaper only to read 55.11%. Read the magazines or tabloids 29.22%, 44.28% story books, books and other knowledge of 21.07%. From 1993, a tendency to get information through reading only increased about 0.2%, far if dikomparasikan with watching television kenaikannya reached 21.1%.
BPS data show in 2006, the population of a reading as a source of new information about 23.5%. While watching the television 85.9%, and 40.3% listening to the radio. No reports of the World Bank. 16369-IND (in English Education from Crisis to Recovery), Vincent Greannary cite the results in 1998, said that the age-level reading class VI of primary school in Indonesia is only capable of reaching the 51.7 score in the bottom of the Philippines (52.6); Thailand (65 , 1) and Singapore (74.0).
The above facts make our hearts truly worry. In fact, the national education system has failed to bear the next generation to read. Education we just produce the next generation to read so-called "have learned". Generation who read only to reach out stark. Not the generation that continue to read throughout his life. Generation of this kind is potentially a lost generation that embrace the tsunami in drugs.
One method of learning that support the increased interest in reading for students is a method of learning konstruktivisme. According to E. Mulyasa (2002), focus on the approach konstruktivisme not rationality, but on understanding. This is the main reason why konstruktivisme can quickly replace the theory of cognitive development as a basis in research and practice in education. The attractiveness of this model is konstruktivisme on kesederhanaannya
Basic strategy of the model konstruktivisme learning is meaningful learning, which invites students to think and understand the subject material, not just hear, receive, and keep in mind. Each element of learning materials must be processed and interpreted in such a way so that makes sense. Something that does not make sense will not stick long in the mind.
Subjects related to the formation of character of students, such as: religious studies, moral character and moral rightly adopt this model of learning. So that learners can understand, menghayati, and practice religious and moral principle well. During this time, religious lessons in schools to reach a new milestone "penghapalan religion," moral lessons to a new stage "penghapalan moral" lessons and moral character was indeed reached a new stage "penghapalan moral character."
This strategy seeks good students and teachers have to learn the position as subject. As the subject of active learning both claimed to find data, information, and interpretation of the lesson material. Students are required to be kritisisme of the lesson material is not just mimic, copy, paste, and the sap is given by the teacher. With this strategy students and teachers are encouraged to have interest in reading high enough to utilize the school library.
Results obtained with this strategy meaningful learning will be far better than traditional learning by Paulo Freire learning system called the bank. Learn how the bank system will not encourage students to love reading. Next philosopher Paulo Freire encourage that learning should be raised nalar students with creativity and motivate students to learn how to explore data, analyze the data in the actual meaning.
Learn how the bank system will only generate the lesson material that is not comprehensive and IM. Sometimes there are some elements of learning material that is difficult to understand by students, but students are forced to accept such a grind. Model acceptance of the material so that lessons will only produce a poor practice in daily life. As a result learning take place in a static atmosphere, monoton and boring.
Learning strategy is very meaningful learning requires the support the library as a source of learning. Library can be used by students and teachers as a place of learning outside the classroom. Needs students to make active playing (active learning), interpretation (interpretation), make sense (make sense), Negotiation (bull), Cooperative (cooperation), and inquiry (menyelediki) can be done in the school library.
In the library students can also implement the concept of learning to know (learning to know), make learning (learning to do), learn to live in togetherness (learning to live together), a self-learning (learning to be); and learning for life (life long learning).
E. Conclusion
The war against drugs is done without strengthening the nation's character is mubadzir. Why? Because the most powerful defense against the temptations of drugs have themselves individuals themselves. Drugs will not be powerless if dealing with the generation of the nation berkarakter strong. Strength of character will continue to grow and develop in accordance with the increased interest in reading.
BNN can use the school library and public library to inject the spirit of anti-drug. Books, VCD, magazines and brochures about the anti-drug campaign can dilayankan in the library. In fact, if possible BNN can invite National Library of Indonesia to create a shared network, the network with the anti-drugs. This will involve the whole library is in the ground water.
Thus, the synergy between character education and reading interests will bear the future generations who know, understand, menghayati, and believes that drugs are poisons that must be dijauhi, dimusuhi, been, and the doghouse. This is the generation that will produce state officials, law enforcement, educators, and the state apparatus to be hard drugs. A nation that is able to transform knowledge into action and real morality, "War Against Drugs, and Win!".

Thus the gulf between ideals and moral application in daily life can continue dipersempit. Maturity of the four characters is possible through a stage of human individuality toward personalitas.

The World of Bank, the World of Read the forgotten
27 Jan 2008 ago, Mrs. Ani Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has been a year in 2008 as the Year of Education Banking with the theme''Come to the Bank''. Now in the year 2009 this program should still be running without pencanangan .. Given that education is conducted to provide an understanding of the broadest community of services offered by banks.
Education is a conscious and systematic effort to reach the standard of living or better progress. Education banking is basically a process to educate the public to better understand the specifics of banking, to achieve better standards of life.
Education banking is basically a learning process for both the bank and the community. Both objects are at once the subject of study. In this case the banks to function as "teachers" and public works as "learners." Between the banking community must be involved and effective communication pattern, and efficient.
With knowledge and understanding about the world of good banking will be able to encourage people to make the process of self-empowerment. This strategy can be implemented with the approach literasi information.
Approach Literasi Information
Literasi own simply defined as the ability to read and write. In the context of community empowerment, meaning literasi have the ability to obtain information and use it to develop knowledge useful for the community.
According to HAR Tilaar (1999), the ability informative someone is the ability to analyze and explore the benefits of the information obtained. There are different between the data and information. Data that has been processed to be changed and this is information that has utility in the development of science or the application of science and technology in human life.
In fact we need is to control the information processing capability to think. Information obtained in the learning process is not the information that each stand alone, but that information is a series in the network so that a pattern has a meaning. This information is the result of the work of many experts, so that later would result in something creative and meaningful.
Cultivate literasi information in the life of a nation and state is a must. Banking education process must be defined as a process of nation building literasi.
UNESCO report in 2005 entitled Literacy for Life said that there is a close relationship between literasi with poverty. In many countries, where high poverty, low levels tend literasi. Literasi cause perkapita low income level. As happened in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Nepal, and Mozambique. More than 78 percent of the population, earnings per day under 2 U.S. dollars.
Man who has the ability literasi economy will be more easy to access business information and memberdayakannya become an independent business. Man with this kind of qualification that will be able to utilize various banking services to improve the quality of life.
Banking education efforts directed towards the need to improve the economic literasi community. To realize this every bank in the soil water can make the program read in every corner waiting room bank. Corner read this collection must be supported with books, magazines, newspapers, brochures, audio-visual collections, and digital collections that support the banking education program.
During this waiting room is a public space that's quiet activities that are useful and productive. Sit still, "chat", "ngerumpi" and watching television is an activity that is common in the waiting room. In the waiting room as if the brain functions stopped.
The presence of a corner in the waiting room reading a bank other than to kill the boredom is also a media customer communications for the bank to make the process of banking education. This is read in a corner of the community can learn more in-depth calculation of interest on savings, term popular banking, banking mediation, anti-money laundering, with the alert that arouse bidding, electronic banking, call center and benefit the bank.
There is a reading corner also in line with the spirit of the law library. Law Number 43 Year 2007 About Library, said that the craze in the cultivation is done through the provision of public library facilities in public places an easy, affordable, and quality (Article 48 paragraph 4).
According to the explanation of the law, is a public place is the office, waiting rooms, terminals, airports, hospitals, markets, malls and others.
The presence of a corner in the waiting room reading is expected to be one of the power bob up and down to change the culture of oral culture to be read at the same time increase economic literasi community. Read books while waiting for a call from a bank teller certainly better than just sitting and waiting "bengong." Daya bob up and down this strength is very large because the growth of the banking industry has been very rapid and even penetrate through to the village level.
If every bank customer can transmit this to the reading habits of families and the neighboring environment, it will accelerate the process of going public realize that love to read. Reading habit, which continues to grow in turn will result in a literate society alias "awake" for information. This is a literate society that will support the educational program and succeed banking.
Education tersosialisasi banks will be well in the middle if people read this corner also give to the community. That is, the general public especially the students are free to access this reading corner.
Read the corner in each bank will be more useful than the existing hotspots in public spaces. This is to remember at this time Laptops can only be accessed by community groups of middle to top, while the corner can be read and enjoyed by anyone from anywhere without know the social stratification.
Participation in the banking sector to bring a corner reading this will make banking education slogan "Come to the Bank" will be more valuable instructive. Why? Because people will go to the bank not only to save but also to read. Saving and reading in the bank is certainly in line with the educational program at the same time will accelerate the banking culture to spread in the community.
Education-based banking literasi is an effort to empower the community. The aim is that the more people understand the banking sector as well as invite people to love reading. In turn this will improve the quality literasi community. Improvement is the key note literasi to improve the welfare of the community.

Through promoting the Library Blog
By Romi Febriyanto Saputro *
According to Wikipedia, a blog is an abbreviation of "web log" is a form of a web application that resembles writings (published as a post) on a public web page. The writings are often published in the inverse order (newest first new content and then followed by the content of a more long), although not necessarily so. Web sites like this usually can be accessed by all users of the Internet in accordance with the topics and goals of the user's blog.
Media blog first dipopulerkan by Blogger.com, owned by PyraLab before PyraLab diakuisi by Google.com at the end of 2002. Since then, there are many applications of open source is for the development of the blog author.
Blog has a very diverse functions, from a diary, media publications, media campaigns, through programs and media companies. Some of the blog maintained by a single author, while in part by several other authors.
Blog features interaction with its visitors, who can approve its visitors to leave comments on the contents of any posts that are published. However there is also a vice or a non-interactive.
The description above indicates that the blog is a cheap media campaign to make gay and publications both for individuals and an organization. Blogs do not need a server as a website. Just start an email, someone can create a blog for free. In the virtual world, make this activity more often referred to by the term "blog".
Blog world is a world full of color. Ironically, to this day I still often see the presence of a public library district / city in the world blog. While the media is a blog that is quite appropriate for a library to publish teak himself in the virtual world for free.
Sepinya world blog from the library this is the voice that encourages writers to create a blog in order to bring UPTD Library Sragen Regency in the world with the virtual address www.perpustakaansragen.blogspot.com.
With this same article, the author invites readers to visit us in the virtual world. Give your suggestions and criticisms to us for perfection our blog. Given that we are still in the learning process and continue to learn the blog that has a library for the public benefit.
This step is a little late because the author did indeed end of September the new library we get internet access from the official Government of Sragen Regency. But, as saying the words, "Better late than not at all."
Sragen blog in this library, visitors can enjoy the library, the library profiles, news photos, race events, opinions, book reviews, and digital collections.
Blog world and the world has a library function that is almost the same distribution of information to the public. Public Library District has a moral obligation to not only present in the real world that serve only one community district / city only. But also present in the virtual world to serve the community across districts.
This is indeed a library function, a transport that is capable of literasi information across territorial boundaries. The feel of a national decline even without the international feel of the local.
Blog world allows a library to promote the value of a library more. Since the presence of the Internet, the role of the library seems to be marginalized. Kesaktian search engines such as google and yahoo seems to disappear as a function of the library information center. Communities prefer to browse the information on Google than in the library.
For this is certainly the necessary steps a breakthrough that is capable of change challenges into opportunities to step further. The presence of a search engine like google, there would be more easier for the library in the vision and mission.
With google, the library can make a collection of articles, scientific papers, and journals based on their subject knowledge. Collection of information that is terolah like this has a power of attraction when displayed diblog library.
In other words, google provides the raw material, perpustakaanlah the process become so ready to be consumed by the public users. The specific subject of this collection of information will have better value in the virtual world and in the real world.
In addition, a blog is an arena for the librarian to conduct self-actualization. Blog arena can be a fairly representative for the librarian to learn to write.
Write ideas freely without power should be limited by the newspaper editorial staff. When the writings librarian can not be published in the print media, blogs can be an alternative for ideas, ideas, creativity and librarian. Express the aspirations of the library to the world.
Blog land is wet for the librarian to search for additional credit numbers. Why? Because one of the requirements so that any posts to get a credit number is publicized through the mass media. Writing in the blog include this category because the blog has now become a body mass media that can be accessed online by millions of people on planet earth.

The meaning is to Interest Read
Great. That response to news that Indonesia could become a model for the eradication illiterates in the Asia Pacific region. Rating given the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Since 2007, adult illiteracy in Indonesia declined 1.7 million people, to be 10.1 million. Around 7 million of them women. Success adult illiteracy eradication program, among other support 59 universities and the private sector in various regions in Indonesia. Window open more world-wide for their literacy.
However, the figure was not in line with UNESCO's survey results indicate that our interest is very low reading. Two years ago we are the lowest in Asia. Meanwhile, the International Educational Achievement record reading ability of Indonesian students in the lowest areas of ASEAN. Conclusions drawn from the research over 39 countries. Indonesia ranks to 38. Two among other things that cause the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) put us in the order in the case of low development of human resources.
Reality-reality was to prove, literacy does not guarantee increased interest and ability to read. We need to be concerned. Without reading interests, from which we can obtain fresh ideas and new? Seen from the number of our population and the number of daily circulation each day, the percentage of reading newspapers is very small. Surrounding the 1%? UNESCO set, as 10%.
Editorial Media Indonesia Monday and discussed this matter. Among others The progress of electronic media one of the factors that hamper the participating interest in reading speed. Indeed, the first since we rely much more oral than written culture. Community we prefer to watch the puppet, for example. That the number of books in local languages does not mean, confirming the assumption was. But we are not too surprised when we see people now spend far more time in front of the television than reading. Symptoms of this actually exists in all countries, depending on the citizen groups, watch, and the type of reading material there.
There should be social pressure influence. For example, if the interest and ability to read a requirement for social classifications? In the lower level, our people are illiterate, or the ability to read less, work more difficult to find sufficient if compared with their more educated. This should encourage people to learn to read better.
The situation with other people in developed countries. Reading seems to have become a part of life. Read also entertainment. Systems and facilities built to support it. Once the cumulative readings of the meaning of the history of solid, scientific meaning, or the solid values of humanity, moral and spiritual, and entertainment, so that people choose to live in it. Reading has become part of their lifestyle.
Alex Inkeles, sociology professor emeritus at the Hoover Institute, Stanford University, once said the main purpose of economic development is to achieve a decent living standard for all people. However, it seems we agree, the progress of a nation can not be measured only from the GNP per capita of its people. Development also includes ideas mendewasakan political life, such as tecermin in the process of government that stable and orderly, who supported the inclination of many people. Also includes a comprehensive education for the people, including the development of arts and culture, communication facilities, and the enrichment of all forms of recreation. In conclusion, development requires changes in attitudes and behavior of humans. Need of transformation. The most powerful means of communication for the transformation. Including the reading.
So far, we seem confused about the idea of transformation. Reasonable demands because of the transformation changes the way of thinking. The little we should leave the way of thinking that has long sediment in the culture and we have expired. Already tens or even hundreds of years. Leaving it as leaving the principles of our original life. Drag overextend contradiction about this is still happening until now. In the case modernization, our heterogeneous society.
According to Inkeles, the characteristics of modern humans, two; the external and internal. The first related to the environment. The second is about the attitudes, values and feelings. The external changes are easily recognizable. Urbanization, mass communication, industrialization, political life, and education, all the symptoms of modernization. However, even the modern environment, we did not by itself a modern human. Just when we successfully change the way we think, our feelings change, to change our behavior, then we can call themselves a modern human.
The characteristics of modern man if he is willing to open themselves to new experiences, innovation and change. Then the world will open the window. That can all happen in the beginning through the reading of modern humans because not only limit the horizon in the neighborhood environment, but want to widen horizon to horizon other.
The problem now, how to increase interest in reading, and improve the quality and quantity of reading materials in accordance with the needs of modern society? About illiterate, we are considered a model for the eradication illiterate, the system is, of course we will continue. If you can, mempercepatnya. Kartini (1879-1904) is more than seabad and berprakarsa teaching reading and writing of his people even though he himself only completed primary school. Now there are 7 million illiterate women. Fact is deplorable and should be lamented. The possibility that they live in villages and remote areas that are difficult to reach.
About the quality and quantity of reading material, actually two things, the interests and reading, forming a vicious cycle. Interest can be read by reading material quality and / or a decoy. If the interest amount read a lot, a lot of quantity. So forth. Quality and quantity of the book insuffcient, and affordable price, can keep people from temptation, temptation other entertainment that is not quality.
That the people, from children to parents, often glued to watch television, as throughout their spare time. Perhaps because there is no other entertainment, or because there is no requirement for children to read more at home. In addition, there is no obligation for parents to give example. About keteladanan parents, in the Public Library of Sarawak, Malaysia, by requesting the cooperation parents to inculcate reading habit. People tualah the loan book. In several weeks, officials Public Library come back to replace the books with the new.
Experience is presented by the representatives of Malaysia when attending international seminars Movement facility Interest Read (GPMB) on Reading for All. GPMB social organization founded in October 2001, initiated by, among others, National Library and the Ministry of National Education. He works to be partners both central and local government efforts to increase interest in reading people. However, despite seven years standing, gaungnya not we hear more. Perhaps the public is also not too concerned when it concerns the interests read.
Seminar on Reading for All held two years ago, also attended by representatives from Japan, the Netherlands, Australia, and Singapore. They concurred that the increase interest in reading can be done to foster the reading habit in a discipline via the formal education. Speakers from Japan, for example, say they now have a principle; best friend is sitting book. Everywhere in public places we see them reading. The habit is maintained. Schools in Japan require students to read for 10 minutes before learning activities. Methods of education are made in such a way so that students are actively pushed to read.
Read about the Japanese interest rates, already since the Meiji Restoration more seabad ago, Japan has the determination to pursue the progress of Western culture. Until now also thousands of foreign books, especially from the United States and Europe, have been translated into Japanese. As people thirst, they are not constantly gain knowledge and knowledge through reading. For approximately 125 million people, in there every day tens of million copies circulating newspaper, monthly circulation of hundreds of millions of copies of magazines and similar types of publication, and printed each year more than 1 billion books. World record holder. More than 50% of workers handling industry knowledge.
Exposes the envoy abroad seminar in Reading for all the spark the public to read avidly in Indonesia. Essentially they assert, not to advance the interests read closely associated with the increased progress of a community. And increased interest in reading is the most effective channels through which formal education. In the Netherlands, the increased interest in reading circumvented by requiring students to enrich the knowledge of reading, support the library system that meets their needs. In Singapore, the interests of the students read been grown through the curriculum. For example, teachers require that students complete school work with the support of as many books. In Australia, students have the kind of card to write down the title of the book reads. Note the results of reading and assessment of the books that do read every day, before classes start. Teachers told students told the contents of each book has been dibacanya. This system is now also in Indonesian schools affiliated with the Australian schools.
To support the increased interest in reading, it will not be enough with only imbauan and hoots. Many more serious problems faced by the community so that the increased interest is not considered to be read directly into their responsibility. Therefore, these policies must be made in the system, especially in the formal education system. Beyond that, awakening the system and facilities to be supporters hope many people, including the procurement of books that quality affordable price and the number is sufficient. Also, the library, a library that amount sufficient to schools from primary level to university libraries and public-library. For example, other than that owned by the government, will be very ideal if every neighborhood, or at least every RW, berprakarsa build a library or reading hall for the residents. A number of cultural activists have done so.
Hopefully we can prove it, what benefits menggulirkan tradition of reading for human development of modern Indonesia for the future. Books reading children that fairy tales and stories challenging or mysterious, for example, can develop the imagination of children know, without limit. If they are strong enough imagination, they probably will not leave without trying to achieve. Similarly, through reading, we will be willing to leave the narrow views that are not in accordance with the time. Many of the books that solid information about the development of knowledge and experience of the world community in turn will be berpacu we make progress in pursuing that also be tried nations.

If Lord Care Library!
by Romi Febriyanto Saputro Read Kompas Central Java on 6 May 2006 entitled "Regional Library lament" make the author feel concerned. This is considering the fate of the world's libraries in this country do not predicate a number of environment that disandangnya. Warehouse science, the world's window, it education, and ocean knowledge is at once sweet, sweet talk crap to laud the world's libraries. Why? Some praise was never blossom in the natural reality. It is only in the imaginary nature called with hopes, dreams, ideals, and obsession. Look at our education! The world has a hobby curriculum change was not giving adequate library space to the interests of children read this. Library dipojokkan in the "rest room", "narrow space", while "space behind." Sometimes not even given the same room once in a world that, according to the official state able to improve the nation. In some elementary school libraries really become the "warehouse of knowledge." Perhaps because so love with the "knowledge warehouse," teachers in the school forgot to open the door to the library. Day, a week ..., .. a month, ... .. and may be the year the library locked left the meeting. Really become a warehouse of knowledge, the "tersucikan" from the touch of human hands of children, I once ... ... not a science building. Then, ... whether conditions in the high school library better? In fact, three-quarter money. Although the "little king" in junior high and high school is always after the four-wheel drive "rise throne," the fate library unremitting increase in dignity. Library left "live shrink, I would die." King always toss a small song "no funds" discussed when to decorate the library with a row of books of quality. He is quite happy with the decoration books package that really terpaketkan have been evacuated because of the expiration. He seems never to forget "1001" range of charges from students with various labels for the sake of education. BOS funds that now when I meet with the library will soon turn sigapnya face with Buuussssss ... .... Bablassss angineee. Now let us continue to travel higher education. Universities in Indonesia can not manage to have in the library. According to the Chairman of the FPPTI Abdul Rahman Soleh ideally each university to allocate funds as much as 5% of the household budget for the library. However, based on the survey, only five universities that have been allocated a fund of 5% for the library, the remaining funds allocated under 5%. In fact, 40% from universities to allocate funds under 2%. The results of the survey also revealed that books in the library most universities have expired. (Media Indonesia, 24 September 2003) Portrait opaque world of the library in the land of water The portrait is a reflection of the ruler of this nation. Rulers who prefer the skin than the content. No need to wonder if the building PKK (the wife of prominent dinahkodai by the district / city) is far more "wow" from the public library building. Do not be surprised if the cost of the procurement office, a car far more than the cost of collection for the new library. Yes, my Lord! Why all the elements of authorities that no one seems to care about the library? Library seems to have become a monster frightening the Council for the country. Ask at the library guard, now pack of governors, regents, mayors, representatives of the people, rector, deans and lecturers take the time to predict the moment the library? What he is a respectable set foot in the building of this knowledge? If not, please be advised if they consider the library as "another world". Library in the dictionary of life they may be just a "warehouse of books", "consoles", "space dust", "unemployment arena" and other paintings completely black. This all-black paintings lead to forget that they need the library building, budget, human resources, new books, information technology, and facilities adequate to house a learning community. This forgetfulness is certainly a thorn for our work in the library world. Then I had to appear anecdotes, the budget will suffer itching eyes when met with the library budget. Finally eye library budget is dicoret. Passivity of the authorities to make the library the library's position "on the subject under the subject". It is difficult for libraries to a community while satisfying demands for political will never satisfy the ruler of the library. How might a local library to increase public interest in reading if only boosted the amount of zero percent from the coma about budget? Would the beauty of the authorities if we have a high awareness of the library as the ruler of the Khilafah Banu Abasiyah (750 - 1258 M). It is a golden period of science, marked by a high government attention to the library. Authorities at that time to paint the library with gold ink. One of the famous library and the largest is the Baitul Hikmah. Librarian at the time it is a prestigious position. No one can work in the library, except have a tradition of reading, writing, and scholarly strong. Al Khawarizmi Math scientists is one example of librarian-born scientist who at that time. | ||

By the facts taken from this site Romi Febriyanto Saputro
This article has been published in the Daily Kompas, 11 October 2004
World Bank Sanctions Committee has issued a black list containing the names 10 individuals and 26 companies that are considered to have been doing shady practices and corruption in the implementation of the Project Development of Books and Reading (Book and Reading Development Project / BRDP) in Indonesia worth 53,232,000 U.S. dollars, funded by the The World Bank.

Library And Meaningful Learning
By the facts taken from this site Romi Febriyanto Saputro
This paper has been published in the Daily Banjarmasin Post, 2 February 2005
Increasing interest in reading people is the main mission of the library trustee according to the founder of this nation in the opening of the 1945 Constitution, which took life of the nation. One of the characteristics that people are smart have read that interest is high enough. Even in the Qur'an is a command to read the first paragraph down. This means that high-low interest read a nation will determine the high and low culture in the nation before other nations in the world.
HAR Tilaar (1999) revealed, read on the fact the process is to have the knowledge. The process has the science is a process that is known to learn more. Learning is the core of education dominated most of the reading activities. Knowledge that is growing very rapidly, no longer can be mastered through the hearing process or the transition from the source of knowledge (teachers) but through various sources of knowledge that can only be known through reading.
One of the methods that support for increased public interest in reading is a method of learning konstruktivisme. According to E Mulyasa (2002), focused approach konstruktivisme not on rationality, but on the understanding. This is the main reason why konstruktivisme can quickly replace the theory of cognitive development as the basic research and practice in education. Attraction of this model konstruktivisme is on simplicity.
The main strategy of konstruktivisme model of learning is meaningful learning, which invites students to think and understand the subject matter, not just hear, receive, and remember. Each element of the subject matter must be processed and interpreted in such a way that makes sense. Something that is not reasonable, it will not stick long in the mind.
This strategy requires both students and teachers have a position as a subject of study. As a subject of study, both charged to the active search for data, information and interpretation of the subject matter. Students accused kritisisme disposed of subject matter, not just mimic, copy and paste the mug given teachers. With this strategy encouraged students and teachers have read that interest is high enough to utilize the school library.
The results obtained with this strategy meaningful learning, will be far better than traditional learning by Paulo Freire called learning how the bank system. How this will not encourage students to enjoy reading. Next recommend philosopher Paulo Freire, the process of learning and teaching logics should inspire students with creativity and motivate students to learn how to find data, menganalisisnya in the actual meaning.
Learn how the bank system will only generate understanding of the subject matter that is instant and not exhaustive. Sometimes some elements of the subject matter is understood that troubled students, but students are forced to accept it with the sap. Model acceptance of the subject matter so, will only lead to the understanding that easily forgotten. As a result, the process of learning takes place in an atmosphere of static, monoton and boring.
Support Library
The strategy is very meaningful learning requires the support of the library as a source of learning. The library is expected to meet the needs of most students learn in order to obtain the optimal results. Borrowing terms from the theory of two factors, Frederick Herzberg, the role of the library is a factor higinis. Work dissatisfied prevent students in search of information and data that are needed. Higinis factors not directly associated with student achievement, but without the provision of adequate school library can disrupt the smooth process of learning and teaching.
The library can be used for teachers and students as a place of learning outside the classroom. Needs students to play active (active learning), interpretation (interpretation), make sense (reasonable), Negotiations (exchange ideas), cooperative (cooperation) and inquiry (menyelediki) can be done in the school library. In the library students can also implement the concept of learning to know (learning to know), learning to do (learning to do), learn of life in togetherness (learning to live together), a self-learning (learning to be) and lifelong learning (long life learning).
During realize this or not, the role of the library as a marginalized in the domain of national education. In Act No. 20 of 2003 on National Education System, not a single article that I pronounced the word library. This of course is a phenomenon that is quite unfortunate. According to UNESCO, education for all (education for all) can be more successful if equipped library.
Relations between the library and education depicted by the Soetarno NS (2003). According to Soetarno, because education is a process of expropriation and the development of science and the school library as a medium, the development of education related to the presence of the library. Consistent progress of science and technology, education also grew, so between education and libraries are like two sides of the same currency value and can not be separated. Both complement each other and fill.
Education Writing
To further bolster the success of students in meaningful learning, education, writing as the subjects need to be segregated. In English writing a term known as the subjects stood apart. With writing as solitary subjects, since students are trained to love writing. This is supported by the data research by Tizard and friends (Suyanto, 2003), namely from 108 students in the elementary grades 2 English who have the ability to write in a book of 24%, 23% of descriptive writing, writing stories, 19%, 11% writing news , 10% of beautiful writing, writing greeting cards at 7%, labelisasi on the image of 3% and writing poetry / drama 2%.
Lessons will be writing to motivate students to enjoy reading. Only with diligent reading, students will have the information and data to support his writings. Lessons to be considered eligible to write a significant interest in stagnation read our community, including students, and students. With the assumption of the theory of X Douglas Mc Gregor, the students who most need to be less avidly read 'forced' to read in the library with the lessons of this writing.
Quo Vadis Materials Procurement Reader?
By the facts taken from this site Romi Febriyanto Saputro
This paper has been published in the Daily Post Solo, 3 February 2007
Procurement of materials libraries are important icons in the library. Procurement of library materials into the mirror not a good library. A good library should be supported by an adequate number of collections both in terms of the diversity of titles and the number of copies.
Procurement of library materials must be oriented on the user's library. Sound library users should be heard more than personal ego management of the library. The synergy between the users and managers of the library will determine the success or not of a material library.
In selecting the materials library, the library should consider the level of topicality, the existence of new ideas, and the depth of the content / discussion of a book. Libraries must select books that can provide enlightenment of life for readers.
The urgency of the procurement of library materials for a library is to maintain the freshness of the material collection library. This is important to maintain and increase interest in reading people.
Swimming like fish, if you have never experienced the addition of water will become cloudy. Similarly, with a library. If you never make a purchase of a new library that will make the user bored with the existing collection.
The more often and more and more libraries in the procurement of materials will create more library users by the disaster. In the library did not update the collection will be abandoned by users.
Reality
Description above shows the importance of library materials for a library. Ironically, the reality says another. There are several phenomena that make the procurement of library materials is not healthy.
First, the project mentality. Cause of the project orientation of library materials shift from satisfying the needs of library users to be satisfying the desires of "those projects".
All efforts are taken in order to benefit the most. Shortcut is appropriate. When the start of activities in the brain those projects is how to get discounts as much as possible.
To obtain large discounts are usually those projects will choose books that minimal variations in the maximum copies of the title. One title could reach five to ten copies. In addition, the minimal variations in the publisher. If the book comes from only one publisher, then the benefits will be greater.
Of the project also cause the selection process library materials to be neglected. Quite a lot of public libraries and schools and universities so that only "Mother bongkokan" with the books presented by publishers and book distributors. They are too lazy to prepare thousands of titles from different publishers.
HaI this is a form of pathological bureaucracy that overrides the world's libraries. Model of books that will only lead to "fool the library."
Second, the imbalance between the aspects of sociology and psychology. Procurement of materials libraries should be a good addition to considering aspects of sociology readers also consider the psychological aspects of the readers.
Aspects of sociology readers include the conditions of the family, education, type of job, social status and living readers. While the psychological aspects include the taste of readers and readers age readers. Both these aspects can not be separated, because separate a whole unit (integral).
Elementary school library, for example, the social environment dominated by children aged 7 - 13 years old, according to the aspects of sociology must be supported with library books that support learning in the classroom. For the books that are featured books in science and technology.
However, from the psychological aspects of the procurement of library materials to the school library that contains only basic books of science and technology will be felt flat. Students are already burdened with various serious lessons in the classroom need a little relaxation.
Stages for the relaxation of the need books that they can entertain people. Books about popular fiction, religion, and popular psychology can fill this space serve as the basic sense of the school library. Divers think this role is to stimulate interest and to grow again read the students who have been buried various television spectacle.
The balance of sociology and psychological aspects of this need to be adjusted to the age of the students. For primary schools, libraries, library collections basic recommended by experts is 70 percent fiction and 30 percent of non-fiction. Non-fiction books also cultivated selected books that are designed with a format that is friendly with children.
Third, procurement of the long-winded. Currently, procurement of goods and services are set by government decree No. 80 of 2003, enhanced with the Education Tax 32 2005.
Goals decree is quite good, namely that the procurement of goods and services the government can be implemented effectively and efficiently with the principles of healthy competition, transparent, open, and fair treatment for all parties, so the results can be accountable both in terms of physical, financial, and the benefits for the smoothness of the government work and community service.
However, if applied in the procurement of library materials pose little distortion. Especially if the literature concerning the procurement of materials with a value of more than Rp 50.000.000, 00, which must be implemented with the auction.
Auction procedures are very long-winded, so it takes a long time. Start from the pre / post-qualification, the document pre / post-qualification, pengambalan bidding documents, explanations (aanwijzing), importation documents, to determine the winner of an auction takes at least three months.
Procurement of the long-winded this cause timeliness library materials decreased slightly. Because the title of the libraries organized in the early years, to new users at the end of the fiscal year.
In addition, if in the middle of the year there are new books published, the library experienced difficulties to buy them. This is because the procurement of library materials must be in one activity. Can not be separated, separate follow the latest developments perbukuan world.
As a result, access to library users to enjoy a new book published should be delayed until the next budget year.
To overcome this problem, the government should publish a special regulations on procurement of library materials that can maintain the level of topicality of the libraries without ignoring the financial liability of clean and transparent. So that the language between the library and financial language can be met in one point.

Bill Library Quo Vadis?
By the facts taken from this site Romi Febriyanto Saputro
This paper has been published in the daily Republika, March 13, 2007
Plenary meeting of the House of Representatives building in the DPR / MPR Jakarta, on Tuesday, 23 January 2007, led by Vice Chairman of the House of Representatives, Muhaimin Iskandar approve the bill as a library initiatives proposed in the House of Representatives for the Government to be passed Act (Act).
-Wing faction in the House to convey views of the end of the ratification bill is related. All the faction to approve the bill on the Library is set to become law so that a plenary meeting to run smoothly (Media Indonesia, January 24, 2007)
Library Bill be by the depth of concern about the condition of libraries in the ground water. Indifference to the library occurred in almost all areas of life.
Education has long been our role to leave the library. Learning in schools is left running without adequate support for the library. Libraries are often symbolized as "it education."
Ironically, the world has tens of years without running the national education "heart". As a result, our education work better as a factory certification. The education we have failed to stimulate the growth of learning to read and relish the students.
The effect of regional autonomy for the government to accelerate development in the region, lead to obscure the central and local authorities in the field of libraries.
Commentary by the diversity of the library of local governments - both provincial and disrupt the kabupaten/kota- empowerment efforts in the area of the library. Regional autonomy create the position of the public library more marginalized.
Bill Library, which consists of 25 chapter and 57 articles has a goal to provide a clear legal umbrella for development and the development of libraries in the ground water.
During not regulated by law apart, the existence of the library will only dihukumi with "sunah" studios. Bill Library is expected to make the government more serious build the world's libraries equal to other development sectors.
The outline of this bill have to give answers to various problems around the library. However, after reading the contents, the bill is felt less bite. The content is too flat. Have not touched the root of the problem is fundamental.
The author captures some weaknesses, first, aspects of institution / organization. Bill is only set the normative institutional library. During this institutional aspects of the library is still not clear, is still riding on other legislation.
Bill spiked to more explicitly the need to determine the status echelon for each type of library. Public library provincial shaped body (echelon II A), a public library district / city shaped office (echelon III A), a public library district shaped UPTD (echelon IVA), the village library and school bereselon IV B. With these rules library will be more attention by the local government ..
Second, the budget. Bill is only set the budget allocation for school libraries and universities. For the second type of library is defined as 5% of the budget the school / college.
Bill is sure to set the budget allocation for the library provinces, districts, subdistricts and villages. So that libraries can do a lot of areas, the budget for the library area also need to set at least 5% of the budget.
Third, human resources. Article 37 states that the library staff consists of labor and non-librarian librarian associated with the library, documentation, and information.
Again, the bill is sure to touch the heart of a problem. Currently the problem is that local governments do not have the good intention to open a librarian for the formation of public library districts, subdistricts, villages, and schools.
In each of CPNS, only a handful of district / city governments to open the formation of a librarian. It is the only public library for the district / city, while for the school library to this day "has not been heard." School library is still a "business casual" of a language teacher who already have a lot of the burden in their work.
To that end, this bill must emphasize that the district / city governments are obliged to take all the energy librarian for the library owned by local governments. Besides the need to set the composition of energy and non-librarian librarian as much as 70: 30 percent. Currently, the number of librarian is still quite rare, and even many libraries that do not have a special energy librarian.
Fourth, the collection. Currently, the number of library collections in the ground water average is not comparable with the mission to increase public interest in reading. Public library district / city with a population of 700,000's 900,000 people on average have only a collection of numbers below the 100,000 books by adding the number of books per year less than 10,000 books.
Article 13 bill is too flat because it just requires the government to support the development of the program library collections. If only provides collection, the government has already done so. The problem is the amount budgeted government collection is not sufficient to improve the reading public interest.
Library Bill must set the amount of the collection is ideal for a library. For example, to the public library district / city: the number of collections is at least a third of the number of people with the addition of collections per year like the population. For the school library: a collection of the amount is at least ten times the number of students, with the addition of new collections per year like the number of students.
Without such provisions, this bill will only become a mere paper tiger. In addition, the number of collections that are not adequate will also complicate the librarian in collecting credit figures. Not a domino effect?
Bill libraries should be made clear by the language and more "spiked". Because, if too normative and the public will rise to slit-slit law for local government in order to avoid the obligation to promote the world's libraries.
I really, National Library has dissipate golden opportunity for the Library Bill powerfull.

Public library provincial shaped body (echelon II A), a public library district / city shaped office (echelon III A), a public library district shaped UPTD (echelon IVA), the village library and school bereselon IV B. With these rules library will be more attention by the local government ..
Second, the budget. Bill is only set the budget allocation for school libraries and universities. For the second type of library is defined as 5% of the budget the school / college.
Bill is sure to set the budget allocation for the library provinces, districts, subdistricts and villages. So that libraries can do a lot of areas, the budget for the library area also need to set at least 5% of the budget.
Third, human resources. Article 37 states that the library staff consists of labor and non-librarian librarian associated with the library, documentation, and information.
Again, the bill is sure to touch the heart of a problem. Currently the problem is that local governments do not have the good intention to open a librarian for the formation of public library districts, subdistricts, villages, and schools.
In each of CPNS, only a handful of district / city governments to open the formation of a librarian. It is the only public library for the district / city, while for the school library to this day "has not been heard." School library is still a "business casual" of a language teacher who already have a lot of the burden in their work.
To that end, this bill must emphasize that the district / city governments are obliged to take all the energy librarian for the library owned by local governments. Besides the need to set the composition of energy and non-librarian librarian as much as 70: 30 percent. Currently, the number of librarian is still quite rare, and even many libraries that do not have a special energy librarian.
Fourth, the collection. Currently, the number of library collections in the ground water average is not comparable with the mission to increase public interest in reading. Public library district / city with a population of 700,000's 900,000 people on average have only a collection of numbers below the 100,000 books by adding the number of books per year less than 10,000 books.
Article 13 bill is too flat because it just requires the government to support the development of the program library collections. If only provides collection, the government has already done so. The problem is the amount budgeted government collection is not sufficient to improve the reading public interest.
Library Bill must set the amount of the collection is ideal for a library. For example, to the public library district / city: the number of collections is at least a third of the number of people with the addition of collections per year like the population. For the school library: a collection of the amount is at least ten times the number of students, with the addition of new collections per year like the number of students.
Without such provisions, this bill will only become a mere paper tiger. In addition, the number of collections that are not adequate will also complicate the librarian in collecting credit figures. Not a domino effect?
Bill libraries should be made clear by the language and more "spiked". Because, if too normative and the public will rise to slit-slit law for local government in order to avoid the obligation to promote the world's libraries.
I really, National Library has dissipate golden opportunity for the Library Bill powerfull.
Interest Read, Key Success ECCE
Interest Read, Key Success ECCE By the facts taken from this site Romi Febriyanto Saputro This paper has been published in the online mediaKabar Indonesia, 23 May 2007 Early childhood education has an important role in the national education system. Like a house, early education is pondasinya. Research in the field of neurological state during the first years, infant brain develops rapidly with the result that many neurons exceed demand. The connection must be strengthened through various stimulus because the connection is not strengthened with the stimulus will atrohy (dwindle and destroyed). This is the great number of connections that affect children's intelligence. Dose of stimulus that is precise and balanced will be able to redouble capability 5 - 10 times the capacity before. One of the stimulus that is needed by young children is a stimulus to read. Motivation to read is to make young children have a high interest in reading, although they can not read. Experience Marcia Thomas, a mother in Memphis, Tennesse, as quoted Fauzil Adhim (2007), prove that the activities read books on early childhood can melesatkan intelligence brain child. Marcia Thomas talked, "Our Children, Jennifer, born in September 1984. One of the first gifts we received is a book The Read-Aloud Handbook. We read the introductory chapter, and we are very impressed with the story Cushla and their families. We then decided to give a "diet" to the children of women with us at least ten books a day. Then, he must undergo in-patient in hospital for seven weeks because of interference heart and corrective surgery. Thus, we began to read books to him when he was still menjalanai intensive care, and we can not emergency, we leave a tape recording contains stories and ask the nurse to turn to make our children. Marcia Thomas of the business so vibrant is not futile. At elementary school age, children always get the highest score for reading lessons. There is no predilection that preferred by Jennifer exceed read. However, it is not the most felicitate the parents. Marcia Thomas said, "What makes the story of our valuable is that Jennifer was born with Down Syndrome. At the age of two months, Marcia was told that Jennifer almost to blindness, deaf, and mental retardation is severe. When a test at the age of four years, only IQ-III. " Story above shows that the activities read books on the baby to give a positive impact: first, to foster interest in reading. Infants who have been introduced since the beginning of the book will be the book "no more than" just a game of campaigning. The book will be regarded as a friend to play the fun. This impression will be recorded in the memory strong baby until the next growth. Second, increase the vocabulary of infants. When a mother reading books on baby, the baby will feel are invited to speak by the mother. This is important in order ability to stimulate the baby talk. Third, improving the relationship between maternal love and children. Read books on the baby is one of the activities for the issue of the relationship parents and children. Children will feel observed by the parents. To foster interest in reading is far more important than to teach young children "can" read. Why? Because how many children of this nation who can read but poor interest in reading. When they still kindergartens so in the spirit of reading, but when the primary interest on all "retrograde". This is due to the practice in the mall early childhood education in the country. Teachers and parents are too demanding to children to be able to read. Each day the children "didrill" with reading lessons. As a result, children experience a summer. Reading, which is a preoccupation as a game, has now been changed to "monster" that frightening. Reading has now been changed to the burden. Moreover, the education curriculum, we anticipate solid enough to make children more lazy to read. What happens when millions of these students land in the water "forced" to read so-called "have to learn." They were "forced" to read in order to pass the exam with good value .. Actually, better education is education that produce graduates who continue to read throughout his life. Learning to read with interest read only will robots smaller than a clever strike in the letter. This will be a different result, if the children been grown motivation, taste, and his desire to read. The process "can be" read will be achieved by itself in line with the interests memuncaknya read. The main obstacles to reading interest in early childhood is the lack of public access to books. The book is still the goods too expensive for most Indonesians. Parents will feel put aside objections to "bribe his life" to buy the book. Library Village For that, the government should make policies that parents can access the books easily and cheaply. Government needs to re-draft mengaktualisasikan village library. Library village, which is regulated by Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs and Regional Autonomy No. 3, 2001, can be used to improve community access to lower secondary education services to young children. Article 2 paragraph 2 of Kepmendagri and Otda mentioned that the Establishment of Library Village should be agreed by the people through the process of deliberation in the forum and Rural Community Board to include the existing educational institutions. In this village library can open the service group play. In India, precisely in the State of Kerala, village library successfully eradicate illiteracy. The achievement of India to open this horizon we think, that the village library is not only melayankan books, but also can be used to improve the quality of education. Government we can emulate India's success, by empowering the village library to improve the quality of early childhood education. Focus Group Play services (KB) is to seek to have children love, interest, and "madness" to the book. This is in the world of education is often referred to by the term pre-reading education. To realize this idea, the village will need to complete the library's collection with books early age. Education pre-reading this could actually be given by anyone who has a devotion to the world and the world of children's books. Instructor enough to motivate the children to have a high interest in reading. Motivation can be provided through the play, sing, spin a yarn, or read books on children. To be more efficient, the village library can also embrace the Garden Education Al Qur 'an (TPA) to teach reading interest in students. Interest should read also been grown on the children learn that Al-Qur 'an. So that when they read Al-Qur 'an understanding solemnly with interest, interest, and a strong devotion to Al-Qur' an. Thus, children will have a strong belief in the characters. During this, the landfill only to educate children to read and memorize Al-Qur 'an, without understanding the characters. As a result, when they depart adults, Al-Qur 'an only a reading of the dry without meaning. Utilizing the village library to open Group Play service will bring a double impact, namely, improving community access to the middle of early childhood education, improve the quality of early childhood education itself. | ||
Bulk Program Book Cheap
By An. Ismanto
The government increasingly progressive in utilizing technology to support progress in education. Recently, the Ministry of National Education has been providing services that will make many students' parents more relieved smile.
After had become a polemic, eventually purchase the copyright text books by government studies showing the benefits can begin. Text books are now running lessons at a site called Book School of Electronics (BSE) belong to the Ministry of Education, which is part of the Bulk Program Book Cheap.
In addition to the beralamatkan http://bse.depdiknas.go.id BSE, the government also provided some support site. Namely SIBI (http://www.sibi.or.id) and PUSBUK (http://www.pusbuk.or.id). Site SIBI (Indonesia Perbukuan Information System) is the main supporter and BSE is a global network of information provided by the Center Perbukuan Ministry of National Education. It is expected that all people can obtain information perbukuan Indonesia quickly, easily, and accurately. While the site is the official website PUSBUK Center Perbukuan the Ministry of Education.
In his speech at the BSE site, National Education Minister Bambang Sudibyo explained that until the launch, the site provides a 407 titles each year will increase. Book-of textbooks has assessed the feasibility of life by the National Education Standards Agency (BNSP) and have been determined as of textbooks that meet the eligibility requirements in learning through the Regulation of the Minister of National Education (game) 46 Year Tax 22,007, the game number 34 in 2008, Tax and the game 41 years old in 2008.
Maybe that will make the student's parents are relieved that the text books can be duplicated, printed, difotokopi, dialihmediakan, and / or traded by individuals, groups of people, and / or legal bodies in order to ensure access and an affordable price book by the community . People can also download (download) directly from the Internet if the device has a computer that is connected to the Internet, and save the file of textbooks is.
The Ministry of Education appears to have also anticipate the possibility of commercialization of the books. To keep the price of these books are still cheap, but for the multiplication of commercial price, the sale must meet the conditions specified government (15 percent profit projection). Thus, the purpose of this progressive program can be achieved, namely to provide a text book more accessible so that students and educators at schools throughout the country and abroad can be used as a source of learning quality and affordable.
There are some things that should come to the attention of the government in connection with the Bulk Program Book Cheap this. First, the availability of the Internet network in schools. The availability of Internet network in schools and private homes until now has not been evenly distributed. Most of the network was only installed in schools around the urban area. Even in these areas are also available for book stores that sell textbooks conventional. As a result, the cumulation of lessons in the area, while in remote areas of the city remain subject rare books.
So, the availability of educational sites such as BSE must also be balanced with the Internet network infrastructure that is more widely and evenly. In addition, this program must also be complemented with socialization and the campaign to disseminate information about BSE and sites supporting the parents of students and educators.
Second, it must also be considered that the use of computers in schools and at home still as additional facilities and curriculum have not yet become a major for students. When teaching the computer at school and at home is still limited in application Word Processor and Spreadsheet, for example, the BSE will be redundant. Thus, educators and parents of students should be able to behave bertransformasi internet friendly so that they can guide their children in internet education. This is important because as we know, the Internet is a democratic media free for all and contains all (free for all people and contain all things).
Educators and parents must understand that the content of the Internet, including sites that dangerous for school-age children, such as porn sites and violence. Do not be until tuition Educational browsing activity in its''lost''to these sites. So, educators and parents who have been friendly Internet will be charming to set a search engine that does not show the sites that are hazardous in the search results. For example, the Google search engine that popular, educators and parents of students can set up the safe search feature in a position''on''(in the preferences) to sites that do not appear dangerous.
BSE and sites supporting evidence that the government is now more responsive to the development of technology to support education. However, when progresi this is not done carefully and consider the threat, other than the power and benefits of technology, internet, then he can become a boomerang that will be sesali together in the future.

Transportation Literacy, Role of the family National Library
By Romi Febriyanto Saputro
This article defined as the champions I hope the Article Writing Competition On Kepustakawanan Year 2007 at the end of the National Library.
A. Introduction
According to Decree No. MenPan 132/KEP/M.PAN/2002, the library is a work unit that has a human resources, special rooms, libraries and collections of materials comprising at least 1,000 titles from various disciplines of the appropriate type of library concerned and managed by a certain system.
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) interpret as a library collection of printed material and non-print media and sources of information or computer in a prepared systematically used for the user. Webster's Third Edition International Dictionary, said that the library is a collection of books, Manuscript, and other library materials that are used for purposes of study or reading, comfort or enjoyment.
From the various definitions of the library at the top, there is a red thread can be drawn that the library is a place for melayankan information through the library collection of materials held. The existence of a library is to empower communities to have an awareness of good information. Awareness of the importance of information is commonly called literasi information.
Literasi information is the soul of a library. National Library characterize the ability of this informative in a logo consisting of an open book; flame torch; terkatup two hands with five fingers stake; five primary and five supporting-ray jet with the background color of the blue circle.
Open book symbolizing the source of knowledge is always evolving. Flame torch symbolizes the light in the business life of the nation. Terkatup two hands with five fingers symbolize sustain the new knowledge can be achieved through the development of education with fully supported by a complete library facilities. Five basic supporting and emblematize five rays shoot out the basic philosophy of Pancasila in science produce fully human Indonesia, which is useful for the homeland and nation.
Background circle symbolizes the determination to realize equity in the business of education for all people of Indonesia. While the color blue is the color that has a calm nature and give the impression depth. So, the blue logo of the National Library is the tranquility of thinking, and the depth of knowledge that is owned by a foundation of dedication to the community, nation and homeland.
B. Literasi Civilization
Literasi information is a skill to get the exit from a problem that exists. These skills include skills to identify problems, find information, sort, prepare, utilize, and efforts to evaluate the results of the questions or answers from the problems.
Literasi own in a simple defined as the ability to read and write. In the context of community empowerment, meaning literasi have the ability to obtain information and use it to develop knowledge for the benefit of the community.
Literasi have important functions in life. Awareness berliterasi will deliver a civilization in a respectful position. The nation is literate nation that is able to answer the challenges of the age. Conversely, people who are not literate will become a weak nation. Weak this nation will never be able to respond to the challenges and obstacles in the future.
This is in accordance with the J Arnold Toynbee said in the book A Study of History, which states that the bankruptcy of a civilization is caused by the inability of the perpetrator of civilization is to respond to the challenges that are being developed. When a nation no longer able to provide answers to the challenges of developing and submerged in kejumudan, it can be ascertained that civilization will experience decomposition. The inability to respond to the challenges of this indicates the existence of these platforms in civilization.
Berliterasi civilization that is always marked by a high awareness of the library. The library has always been a transportation literasi when civilization reached a peak of the golden. History of science and technology throughout human civilization can not be separated from the library.
Ancient Greek civilization, which is rich in science and technology has delivered the prestigious libraries in the period. Pisistratus, was recorded as the first person to establish libraries in Greece in the 6 century BC. In the next period people Athens have already started a collection of books personal. When the philosophy of life Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) have established a library it up as a center of research and education companions followers.
Similarly, the medieval Islamic civilization, the library will become a transportation science and technology. Especially in the Abasiyah Dynasty (750 - 1258 M) at the time that Europe is experiencing darkness. Golden era is marked by the development of science and development is accelerated with the establishment of libraries, library.
One of the famous and largest is the Baitul Hikmah. Random people can not work as a librarian there. Only those who trust the caliph and Sciences that it can work. Among them is Al - kindi, Al - khawarizmi, a famous mathematics Sciences at that time. They are the scientists who worked in the library Baitul Hikmah. They are Scientist-librarian. When the existence of library books and is very respected, even when the office becomes a librarian primadona. librarian obtain a very large salary from the government Alayyubi Andy (2001).
Civilization post-Renaissance Europe also marked by the development of the library and the development of science and technology. When the existence of the books will improve the social status of the community. After the invention of paper by the Chinese and the invention of printing by Johann Gutenberg of Germany, the development of books, libraries, and Science and Technology increasingly bright.
Library appears in almost all the land known Eropa.Di French Bibliotheque Nationale, a collection originally came from private property kings of France. British Library is known in the Oxford and Cambridge University, and also the British Museum, which then become the national library.
In this millennial era, the library remains the icon of a nation that civilization has a strong scholarly tradition. The United States has the largest library at the present time, namely the Library of Congress with a total collection of 86 million library materials in 470 languages, including 22 million books and brochures. It is interesting that there are some 30,000 books and training lessons in Braille letters, pertitur music, and recording media for the disabled. Meanwhile, the UK has the British Museum Library with a collection of 11 million books.
C. Cultivate Literasi
According to HAR Tilaar (1999), the ability informative someone is the ability to analyze and seek benefit from the information obtained. There are different between the data and information. Data that have been processed information to be changed and this has in the pertinence in the development of the science or the application of science and technology in human life.
That we actually need is control of the information processed ability to think. Information obtained in the learning process is not information that each stands alone, but the information is a series of patterns in a network that has meaning. Information is the result of many experts that the paper will produce something creative and meaningful.
Literasi develop information in the life of the state and is a must. The development process should be defined as the process of nation building literasi. This can be built with literasi in various fields of life.
First, literasi education. This data that describes the BPS in 2003, Indonesia's population aged above 15 years of reading the newspaper only 55.11%. Read the magazines or tabloids 29.22%, 44.28% story books, books and other knowledge of 21.07%. From 1993, a tendency to get information through reading only increased about 0.2%, far if dikomparasikan watching television with the increase reached 21.1%.
BPS data show 2006, the population of Indonesia, which makes reading as a source of new information about 23.5%. Meanwhile, the 85.9% watch television, listen to the radio and 40.3%. No report of the World Bank. 16369-IND (in English Education from Crisis to Recovery), cite the results of Vincent Greannary 1998, said that the level of class VI to the age of primary school in Indonesia is only able to reach a score of 51.7 in the Philippines (52.6); Thailand (65 , 1) and Singapore (74.0).
Facts on the truly make our hearts worry. However, the national education system has failed to bring the reading generations. Education we only produce the next generation to read so-called "have to learn." The only generation to reach graduation studios. Not generation continues to read to get the death throughout his life.
Literasi education requires learning-oriented improve students' reading interest. One of the methods, which strongly supports increased interest in reading for students learning is meaningful, which invites students to think and understand the subject matter, not just hear, receive, and keep in mind. Each element of the subject matter must be processed and interpreted in such a way that makes sense. Something that is not reasonable, will not stick long in the mind.
This strategy requires both students and teachers have a position as a subject of study. As a subject of study both charged active search for data, information, and interpretation of the subject matter. Students are required to behave kritisisme to the subject matter is not just mimic, copy, paste, and memorize what is given by the teacher. With this strategy of the students and teachers are encouraged to have an interest in reading high enough to utilize the school library.
Second, literasi technology. Indonesia is currently experiencing gaps in technology that can make U.S. behind in all sectors of other countries. The gap is clearly visible on the delay in the U.S. to develop nano technology. Nano technology is an engineering technology by utilizing the character of material on the size of a nanometer (one billion seper meters). This technology can be utilized in various fields such as health, construction, and energy future.
Understanding of the technology gap has been experiencing its own distortions.
Multinational companies often make us think that the technology gap is the difference between those who can access technology, and that is not. In the technology gap is a gap between those who can take advantage of technology and which are not.
They affect us to be more focused on access, not on how to achieve the benefits of technology. If you continue to apply this in mind, then the U.S. will only become a victim of a product without ever multinational can be independent. By pursuing the technology gap, India can catch up various sectors such as economy, politics, and culture.
Utilizing technology is the core of literasi technology. During all this is actually consume various products of technology. Indonesia became the target marketing of products, technology developed country. Cars, motorcycles, computers, laptops, digital cameras, and television technology has become the day-to-day. Ironically, we are only technology user, not a producer of technology.
Indonesia has long had the Bandung Institute of Technology but has not yet been able to produce car and motorcycle products in the country. Earth's rich natural resources but the government has been entrusted to the parties of foreign eksplorasinya. Indonesia is the country producing oil but the price of fuel be with the fuel in Singapore Unsurprisingly, that is not producing oil. This is because the country is not able to process crude oil into fuel ready for use.
Third, literasi economy. UNESCO Report 2005, entitled Literacy for Life stated that there is a relationship between literasi with poverty. In many countries, where poverty is high, the level literasi tend to be low. Literasi cause low levels of income per. As is the case in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Nepal, and Mozambique. More than 78 percent of the population, revenue per day below 2 U.S. dollars.
Men who have the ability literasi economy will be more easy to access business information and memberdayakannya become an independent business. Conversely, the weak ability of human literasi will generate the type of workers, laborers, and employees. Human literasi poor do not have confidence that high to open independent businesses.
Ironically, poverty is contagious literasi to the government. Government to give free space for people too capitalist. Wages cheap labor as the lure to attract transnational companies to invest in Indonesia. Even workers also have the human desire to live decent. Now, after working class demands of welfare, transnational companies such as Nike threaten to hengkang from Indonesia. Without concerned with the fate of thousands of workers that companies become suppliers of Nike.
Even in the context of social welfare, as quoted Faisal Basri (2007), Bung Karno emphasized that poverty can not be there in the earth Indonesian independence, there should not be dominated capitalist nation, and the welfare of the evenly to all people, not the welfare of a person. Clearly, however, it is not the basis of ideological libertarian, but social democracy.
In economic life, our constitution is not that the spirit antisipatif, but also does not explicitly give all economic affairs in the market economy. So, did not correct the impression that, in line with market demand so that more role in advancing the economy, the role of the state should be reduced. The market mechanism means that the taboo is not the role of the state. Thus, the greater role given to the market, the role of the state must be strengthened to achieve the welfare of justice.
Fourth, literasi price themselves. In the book "Can Asians Think?", Kishore Mahbubani (2000) stated that Asian people may think it is not because of the influence of colonialism. The influence or impact that is not very painful, but the influence of the physical impact of mental kolonialisasi from it. Many countries in Asia, including several countries in Southeast Asia that the European people better than people in Asia. This is the impact that until now inherent in the very heart of Asia.
Kishore Mahbubani analysis on the knife is very appropriate if directed to the analysis in Indonesia. The nation Patrol has been for 350 years by the Netherlands and Japan by 3.5 years is a nation that suffered the most arcane of birth and any Asian nation. During the colonization has caused the nation watched this disease suffer low self. Indonesia is the loss of human capacity and kemandiriannya in thinking.
Colonialism has caused the growth mentality that considers former colonial nation is a nation of more superior. Without realizing it, the success of Dutch colonialism in memperdayai Prince Diponegoro to give the impression of depth psychology in the Indonesian human nature that we may not be able to compete with the victorious people of Europe. In the extreme, this will impact on the human form of the birth of the Indonesian low self-worshipful sky while foreign nations.
The virus is so low self-evident in the Defense Cooperation Agreement (Defense Cooperation Agreement - DOA) between the Republic of Indonesia - Singapore one package with the extradition agreement on 27 April 2007. In the agreement the sovereignty of the country pawned. Indonesian Armed allow Singapore to run the military exercises in the sea, land and air in the areas of Indonesia with third parties using bullets and cartridge control four times in a year.
Fifth, literasi characters. According to Mochtar Lubis (1977) there are seven Indonesian human characteristics, namely: hypocrite, ostensibly happy; reluctant responsible; spirited feodalis; believe in the takhayul; spirited artistic; even weaker, imitative and less patient, jealous and envious quickly.
Think of the seven characters, the only one who is a positive character that is now artistic. Mochtar Lubis not invent any. Transportation accidents land, sea, air and came silih switch is the indicator that the nation is less discipline in traffic. Accidents often occur because the perpetrators are not blind to the rules of transportation, but because they are less concerned about the regulations.
According to Wynne (1991), the word character comes from Greek that means "to mark" (mark) and focus on how to apply the value of goodness in the form of action or behavior. People who behave honestly, like helping people as saying that noble character. So the term character in such close relation with (personality) a person, where someone who can be called character (a person of character), if appropriate, what to do with morals theorem.
Literasi emphasize character pentingya three components, namely the good character of knowledge about the moral, and moral feelings about the act with morality. This includes the morality of God and love all the brothers' self-reliance and responsibility of discipline, honesty, trust and wise, respectful and polite, magnanimous like mutual help and mutual help, self-confident, creative and hard work, leadership and justice, good and low heart and tolerance, peace, unity and
Foerster (2000) describes four ways to change someone's character, first, of the interior of the measure every action based on the value hierarchy to become normative guidelines every action. Understanding of religious norms, community, family, and the country is the "soul of immunization" best to deny the emergence of a negative character.
Second, the coherence that provides the courage to make a firm hold on principles, not vacillate in the new situation, or fear the risk. Third, autonomy.

Fourth, persistence and loyalty. Persistence is the power to hold someone wants what is considered to be good, while loyalty is a basic reverence for the commitment of the chosen. Fortitude and commitment to moral values is the main goal of character education.
Thus the gulf between ideals and moral implementation in daily life can hold was reduced. The fourth character of this withdrawal allows people to pass through stages individuality personalities
D. Developing strategies Literasi
Better late than not at all. The expression is indeed in accordance with the conditions literasi this nation that is still alarming. Tracing the literasi other countries in the world, Indonesia is on the order of-95 from 176 countries, under the Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines. National Library must work very hard to build a culture literasi land in the water.
Strategies that may be the National Library is the first, made the National Library as a means of transportation literasi information. This can start with the present library site more interesting. Ashadi Siregar, as cited by Joseph Fitr (2004) revealed, at least, there are three main things that must be met by a media organization in building good communication with his audience.
The first issue, related to the substance of the information published. If only contact with only one party (read organizations), without considering the other hand, of course, the other party does not feel necessary to respond to such information. Communication is difficult measured clockwise course kemanfaatannya.
The second issue, related to the language and format of delivery information. If the language used is understood only by the organization, the information submitted will not be understood by other parties. Examples of convenience, information verbally will be applied more appropriate if the person who can not read the writing.
The third issue, concerning the accuracy of the information submitted election time. Delivery is too slow will make the communication is not the way.
During the official site owned by the National Library still remain stagnant. Not yet make a breakthrough for the interests of internet users to search for information. Internet users still prefer to find information through search engines or google yahoo. National Library should be in the forefront of guards in the search engine information to create "a sense of Indonesia." Not just show the index articles or books but digital clipping that can be accessed by the public directly. This certainly hope not excessive in order to cultivate the land and water literasi.
In the future, the official site is the ideal library, which functions as a central reference information society. Thus, the National Library is claimed to work as a "news online." Libraries can mimic the online newspaper that raise various information from the public and melayankannya also to the community. In this community works as well as user information.
Second, to bring mobile library. During this additional service cellular operators made with business partners (content provider) tend to kill literasi nation. Klenikisme hedonism and very dominating. Cargo heresy represented by the prediction stars, horoscope, Moron, and hong Shui. Nuance hedonism represented by sms celebrities, humor, love and dating.
In addition to providing information that is not quality, extra services are also sold with the price too expensive. As a result, many consumers of mobile headache because of a sudden loss of balance. When they realize it is very difficult to stop. Why? Because the service provider does not usually include how to unsubscribe. They include the only way to subscribe.
Mobile library is a smart step for the National Library to feel smart in the world of cellular water in the soil. Moreover, in the era of technology, 3 G, the presence of mobile library is awaited. Mobile library to provide information about information science, technology, political, economic, and other information according to the needs of the community. To realize this idea, National Library can work with PDII LIPI, the Ministry of Research and Technology, and the Ministry of Education.
The cost to access a library of cellular dirangcang semurah this may be because the mission is to improve the nation. Rp 400 - 500 / SMS is a relatively affordable rates. In addition, the library needs to cellular system designed in accordance with customer demand. This means, without the customer does not request any incoming SMS. This is very important to prevent the practice from the content service providers were invited to attend without a proven harm to the community.
Third, cultivate literasi through the radio. If the music to develop Dangerman just a television station willing to establish radio Dangerman in the big cities in Indonesia, why to cultivate interest in reading and literasi not be the same way.
Although there have been a revolution in information technology, the radio still has a market share large enough. National Library can establish the library by using the FM network of public libraries stand in the district / city. In the radio program is designed to cultivate literasi in the community. Events surgery books on water, a new book info, info writing, information science and technology, meet authors, books, info and world literature is the main menu. In addition, the daily menu, such as music should remain as a sweetener in the right doses.
Literasi develop through the radio is a breakthrough step to increase public awareness of the importance of information for their life. This is especially intended for the type X. According to Douglas Mc Gregor, Theory X is the traditional theory can be assumed that people generally do not like to read. They generally want to read if there is a certain momentum as the season exam schools, essay, race or scientific works. Reading is a burden for them and not segregated into staple. They prefer to get information from media such as non-read radio and television.
Fourth, the pioneer CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) for the library. Funds that represents the social obligations of these companies will be more useful if invested in the field of libraries.
During this awareness of the company to allocate CSR is still low. CSR function as a means of propaganda to raise the image of the company. To that end, National Library will need to propose to the government to make regulations that require each company to allocate CSR for the library. So in addition to seeking profits from the public, the company is also a partner in order to increase public awareness literasi community.
CSR from the company can be used to tap information on the remote islands of the poor during this literasi. This is done by ship books hold a roving able to reach remote islands. The concept of mobile library, which is only a car, bus and motorcycle to melayankan materials libraries have to use means of transportation such as larger ships and even aircraft.
According to Effnu Subiyanto (2007), to the size of Indonesia, CSR is relatively new. However, multinational companies in the U.S., even as Intel has pioneered the era of CSR in the 80s. One hundred and Intel executives every month jump to the nearest environment to share knowledge and skills to support and strengthen the fundamentals of community.
In this case, of course, Intel does not expect profits, but Intel has the vision to the future, which aims to involve the community as one of the competitive advantages of Intel. Boeing aircraft company, has even started to apply management for the benefit of human society and the environment surrounding the company. Definition of "profit" in the developed countries have experienced reincarnation is not solely focus on profit slump, but more humanist elements by entering the value (value).
Fifth, serious in empowering village library. According to Government Regulation No. 75 of 2005, the village is the unity of the people who have the legal boundaries of areas that have the authority to regulate and manage the interests of local communities, based on the origin and local customs that are recognized and respected in the Government of the Republic of Indonesia.
Village has a very strategic role to develop public interest in reading. Why? Because the village is the smallest unit of government amongst the people. In addition, more than 60 percent of Indonesians live in rural areas.
The position of a strategic village, which is a fertile land for the National Library for membumikan cultural literasi land in the water. Village Library, which is intelligent and is set in the Ministry of Domestic Instruction No. 28 Year 1984 and updated with the Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs and Regional Autonomy No. 3 of 2001 must be positioned as a transportation literasi information in the main village level.
Empowerment of library-oriented villages should be on improving human resources villages. According to Rogers and Soemaker (1987), one of the obstacles in efforts to empower the human resources of the village is the mentality Lack thingking for the future. This means that the ability of farmers to have very limited future. This resulted in the farmers have difficulties to improve the welfare of their life.
Literasi as transportation, the role of village libraries are: first, eradicate illiteracy. Data for 2006 states that the Indonesian population aged 15 years and above are illiterate recorded 12.8 million people. From the 12.8 million citizens are illiterate is 81.3 percent of them are scattered in 10 provinces, which can be called as a bag-bag illiterate, namely East Java, Central Java, West Java, South Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara , Papua, Banten, Bali and Lampung.
Library village can be functional literacy activities in the form of group learning to read and write. Kerala, one of the states in India to provide evidence that a village library is able to eradicate illiteracy. In the State of Kerala, every district has a 10 - 100 village libraries, which plays a role in the fight against illiterate (Kompas, Feb. 5, 2007).
War against illiterate implemented the program in the course of two months the village library, library, especially for the masses of farmers. Read and Grow slogans replaced with "to remove illiteracy and strengthen people." When it is the beginning of the war against organized illiterate. 1975, the movement to get this award from Unesco on the importance of the contribution illiteracy elimination and education for adults
This article defined as the champions I hope the Article Writing Competition On Kepustakawanan Year 2007 at the end of the National Library.
A. Introduction
According to Decree No. MenPan 132/KEP/M.PAN/2002, the library is a work unit that has a human resources, special rooms, libraries and collections of materials comprising at least 1,000 titles from various disciplines of the appropriate type of library concerned and managed by a certain system.
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) interpret as a library collection of printed material and non-print media and sources of information or computer in a prepared systematically used for the user. Webster's Third Edition International Dictionary, said that the library is a collection of books, Manuscript, and other library materials that are used for purposes of study or reading, comfort or enjoyment.
From the various definitions of the library at the top, there is a red thread can be drawn that the library is a place for melayankan information through the library collection of materials held. The existence of a library is to empower communities to have an awareness of good information. Awareness of the importance of information is commonly called literasi information.
Literasi information is the soul of a library. National Library characterize the ability of this informative in a logo consisting of an open book; flame torch; terkatup two hands with five fingers stake; five primary and five supporting-ray jet with the background color of the blue circle.
Open book symbolizing the source of knowledge is always evolving. Flame torch symbolizes the light in the business life of the nation. Terkatup two hands with five fingers symbolize sustain the new knowledge can be achieved through the development of education with fully supported by a complete library facilities. Five basic supporting and emblematize five rays shoot out the basic philosophy of Pancasila in science produce fully human Indonesia, which is useful for the homeland and nation.
Background circle symbolizes the determination to realize equity in the business of education for all people of Indonesia. While the color blue is the color that has a calm nature and give the impression depth. So, the blue logo of the National Library is the tranquility of thinking, and the depth of knowledge that is owned by a foundation of dedication to the community, nation and homeland.
B. Literasi Civilization
Literasi information is a skill to get the exit from a problem that exists. These skills include skills to identify problems, find information, sort, prepare, utilize, and efforts to evaluate the results of the questions or answers from the problems.
Literasi own in a simple defined as the ability to read and write. In the context of community empowerment, meaning literasi have the ability to obtain information and use it to develop knowledge for the benefit of the community.
Literasi have important functions in life. Awareness berliterasi will deliver a civilization in a respectful position. The nation is literate nation that is able to answer the challenges of the age. Conversely, people who are not literate will become a weak nation. Weak this nation will never be able to respond to the challenges and obstacles in the future.
This is in accordance with the J Arnold Toynbee said in the book A Study of History, which states that the bankruptcy of a civilization is caused by the inability of the perpetrator of civilization is to respond to the challenges that are being developed. When a nation no longer able to provide answers to the challenges of developing and submerged in kejumudan, it can be ascertained that civilization will experience decomposition. The inability to respond to the challenges of this indicates the existence of these platforms in civilization.
Berliterasi civilization that is always marked by a high awareness of the library. The library has always been a transportation literasi when civilization reached a peak of the golden. History of science and technology throughout human civilization can not be separated from the library.
Ancient Greek civilization, which is rich in science and technology has delivered the prestigious libraries in the period. Pisistratus, was recorded as the first person to establish libraries in Greece in the 6 century BC. In the next period people Athens have already started a collection of books personal. When the philosophy of life Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) have established a library it up as a center of research and education companions followers.
Similarly, the medieval Islamic civilization, the library will become a transportation science and technology. Especially in the Abasiyah Dynasty (750 - 1258 M) at the time that Europe is experiencing darkness. Golden era is marked by the development of science and development is accelerated with the establishment of libraries, library.
One of the famous and largest is the Baitul Hikmah. Random people can not work as a librarian there. Only those who trust the caliph and Sciences that it can work. Among them is Al - kindi, Al - khawarizmi, a famous mathematics Sciences at that time. They are the scientists who worked in the library Baitul Hikmah. They are Scientist-librarian. When the existence of library books and is very respected, even when the office becomes a librarian primadona. librarian obtain a very large salary from the government Alayyubi Andy (2001).
Civilization post-Renaissance Europe also marked by the development of the library and the development of science and technology. When the existence of the books will improve the social status of the community. After the invention of paper by the Chinese and the invention of printing by Johann Gutenberg of Germany, the development of books, libraries, and Science and Technology increasingly bright.
Library appears in almost all the land known Eropa.Di French Bibliotheque Nationale, a collection originally came from private property kings of France. British Library is known in the Oxford and Cambridge University, and also the British Museum, which then become the national library.
In this millennial era, the library remains the icon of a nation that civilization has a strong scholarly tradition. The United States has the largest library at the present time, namely the Library of Congress with a total collection of 86 million library materials in 470 languages, including 22 million books and brochures. It is interesting that there are some 30,000 books and training lessons in Braille letters, pertitur music, and recording media for the disabled. Meanwhile, the UK has the British Museum Library with a collection of 11 million books.
C. Cultivate Literasi
According to HAR Tilaar (1999), the ability informative someone is the ability to analyze and seek benefit from the information obtained. There are different between the data and information. Data that have been processed information to be changed and this has in the pertinence in the development of the science or the application of science and technology in human life.
That we actually need is control of the information processed ability to think. Information obtained in the learning process is not information that each stands alone, but the information is a series of patterns in a network that has meaning. Information is the result of many experts that the paper will produce something creative and meaningful.
Literasi develop information in the life of the state and is a must. The development process should be defined as the process of nation building literasi. This can be built with literasi in various fields of life.
First, literasi education. This data that describes the BPS in 2003, Indonesia's population aged above 15 years of reading the newspaper only 55.11%. Read the magazines or tabloids 29.22%, 44.28% story books, books and other knowledge of 21.07%. From 1993, a tendency to get information through reading only increased about 0.2%, far if dikomparasikan watching television with the increase reached 21.1%.
BPS data show 2006, the population of Indonesia, which makes reading as a source of new information about 23.5%. Meanwhile, the 85.9% watch television, listen to the radio and 40.3%. No report of the World Bank. 16369-IND (in English Education from Crisis to Recovery), cite the results of Vincent Greannary 1998, said that the level of class VI to the age of primary school in Indonesia is only able to reach a score of 51.7 in the Philippines (52.6); Thailand (65 , 1) and Singapore (74.0).
Facts on the truly make our hearts worry. However, the national education system has failed to bring the reading generations. Education we only produce the next generation to read so-called "have to learn." The only generation to reach graduation studios. Not generation continues to read to get the death throughout his life.
Literasi education requires learning-oriented improve students' reading interest. One of the methods, which strongly supports increased interest in reading for students learning is meaningful, which invites students to think and understand the subject matter, not just hear, receive, and keep in mind. Each element of the subject matter must be processed and interpreted in such a way that makes sense. Something that is not reasonable, will not stick long in the mind.
This strategy requires both students and teachers have a position as a subject of study. As a subject of study both charged active search for data, information, and interpretation of the subject matter. Students are required to behave kritisisme to the subject matter is not just mimic, copy, paste, and memorize what is given by the teacher. With this strategy of the students and teachers are encouraged to have an interest in reading high enough to utilize the school library.
Second, literasi technology. Indonesia is currently experiencing gaps in technology that can make U.S. behind in all sectors of other countries. The gap is clearly visible on the delay in the U.S. to develop nano technology. Nano technology is an engineering technology by utilizing the character of material on the size of a nanometer (one billion seper meters). This technology can be utilized in various fields such as health, construction, and energy future.
Understanding of the technology gap has been experiencing its own distortions.
Multinational companies often make us think that the technology gap is the difference between those who can access technology, and that is not. In the technology gap is a gap between those who can take advantage of technology and which are not.
They affect us to be more focused on access, not on how to achieve the benefits of technology. If you continue to apply this in mind, then the U.S. will only become a victim of a product without ever multinational can be independent. By pursuing the technology gap, India can catch up various sectors such as economy, politics, and culture.
Utilizing technology is the core of literasi technology. During all this is actually consume various products of technology. Indonesia became the target marketing of products, technology developed country. Cars, motorcycles, computers, laptops, digital cameras, and television technology has become the day-to-day. Ironically, we are only technology user, not a producer of technology.
Indonesia has long had the Bandung Institute of Technology but has not yet been able to produce car and motorcycle products in the country. Earth's rich natural resources but the government has been entrusted to the parties of foreign eksplorasinya. Indonesia is the country producing oil but the price of fuel be with the fuel in Singapore Unsurprisingly, that is not producing oil. This is because the country is not able to process crude oil into fuel ready for use.
Third, literasi economy. UNESCO Report 2005, entitled Literacy for Life stated that there is a relationship between literasi with poverty. In many countries, where poverty is high, the level literasi tend to be low. Literasi cause low levels of income per. As is the case in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Nepal, and Mozambique. More than 78 percent of the population, revenue per day below 2 U.S. dollars.
Men who have the ability literasi economy will be more easy to access business information and memberdayakannya become an independent business. Conversely, the weak ability of human literasi will generate the type of workers, laborers, and employees. Human literasi poor do not have confidence that high to open independent businesses.
Ironically, poverty is contagious literasi to the government. Government to give free space for people too capitalist. Wages cheap labor as the lure to attract transnational companies to invest in Indonesia. Even workers also have the human desire to live decent. Now, after working class demands of welfare, transnational companies such as Nike threaten to hengkang from Indonesia. Without concerned with the fate of thousands of workers that companies become suppliers of Nike.
Even in the context of social welfare, as quoted Faisal Basri (2007), Bung Karno emphasized that poverty can not be there in the earth Indonesian independence, there should not be dominated capitalist nation, and the welfare of the evenly to all people, not the welfare of a person. Clearly, however, it is not the basis of ideological libertarian, but social democracy.
In economic life, our constitution is not that the spirit antisipatif, but also does not explicitly give all economic affairs in the market economy. So, did not correct the impression that, in line with market demand so that more role in advancing the economy, the role of the state should be reduced. The market mechanism means that the taboo is not the role of the state. Thus, the greater role given to the market, the role of the state must be strengthened to achieve the welfare of justice.
Fourth, literasi price themselves. In the book "Can Asians Think?", Kishore Mahbubani (2000) stated that Asian people may think it is not because of the influence of colonialism. The influence or impact that is not very painful, but the influence of the physical impact of mental kolonialisasi from it. Many countries in Asia, including several countries in Southeast Asia that the European people better than people in Asia. This is the impact that until now inherent in the very heart of Asia.
Kishore Mahbubani analysis on the knife is very appropriate if directed to the analysis in Indonesia. The nation Patrol has been for 350 years by the Netherlands and Japan by 3.5 years is a nation that suffered the most arcane of birth and any Asian nation. During the colonization has caused the nation watched this disease suffer low self. Indonesia is the loss of human capacity and kemandiriannya in thinking.
Colonialism has caused the growth mentality that considers former colonial nation is a nation of more superior. Without realizing it, the success of Dutch colonialism in memperdayai Prince Diponegoro to give the impression of depth psychology in the Indonesian human nature that we may not be able to compete with the victorious people of Europe. In the extreme, this will impact on the human form of the birth of the Indonesian low self-worshipful sky while foreign nations.
The virus is so low self-evident in the Defense Cooperation Agreement (Defense Cooperation Agreement - DOA) between the Republic of Indonesia - Singapore one package with the extradition agreement on 27 April 2007. In the agreement the sovereignty of the country pawned. Indonesian Armed allow Singapore to run the military exercises in the sea, land and air in the areas of Indonesia with third parties using bullets and cartridge control four times in a year.
Fifth, literasi characters. According to Mochtar Lubis (1977) there are seven Indonesian human characteristics, namely: hypocrite, ostensibly happy; reluctant responsible; spirited feodalis; believe in the takhayul; spirited artistic; even weaker, imitative and less patient, jealous and envious quickly.
Think of the seven characters, the only one who is a positive character that is now artistic. Mochtar Lubis not invent any. Transportation accidents land, sea, air and came silih switch is the indicator that the nation is less discipline in traffic. Accidents often occur because the perpetrators are not blind to the rules of transportation, but because they are less concerned about the regulations.
According to Wynne (1991), the word character comes from Greek that means "to mark" (mark) and focus on how to apply the value of goodness in the form of action or behavior. People who behave honestly, like helping people as saying that noble character. So the term character in such close relation with (personality) a person, where someone who can be called character (a person of character), if appropriate, what to do with morals theorem.
Literasi emphasize character pentingya three components, namely the good character of knowledge about the moral, and moral feelings about the act with morality. This includes the morality of God and love all the brothers' self-reliance and responsibility of discipline, honesty, trust and wise, respectful and polite, magnanimous like mutual help and mutual help, self-confident, creative and hard work, leadership and justice, good and low heart and tolerance, peace, unity and
Foerster (2000) describes four ways to change someone's character, first, of the interior of the measure every action based on the value hierarchy to become normative guidelines every action. Understanding of religious norms, community, family, and the country is the "soul of immunization" best to deny the emergence of a negative character.
Second, the coherence that provides the courage to make a firm hold on principles, not vacillate in the new situation, or fear the risk. Third, autonomy. Menginternalisasikan someone from outside the rules until the value of the personal. This can be seen through the assessment of the personal decisions without encouragement of others affected.
Fourth, persistence and loyalty. Persistence is the power to hold someone wants what is considered to be good, while loyalty is a basic reverence for the commitment of the chosen. Fortitude and commitment to moral values is the main goal of character education.
Thus the gulf between ideals and moral implementation in daily life can hold was reduced. The fourth character of this withdrawal allows people to pass through stages individuality personalities
D. Developing strategies Literasi
