THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS FOR PTKI AS LIBRARY PARTNERS IN PRESERVING ISLAMIC HERITAGE
Abstract
As pioneers of university museums among PTKI, the UIN Banda Aceh and UIN Malang Museums act as important library partners, especially in preserving Islamic heritage. This research aims to find out the role of university museums as library partners in preserving and studying the identity of the academic community regarding Islamic cultural heritage based on the perspective of the academic community of UIN Malang and Banda Aceh. By using a qualitative approach and phenomenological methods, interviews and observations are the main data collection techniques. Research findings show that as Islamic heritage preservation institutions, both the UIN Banda Aceh and UIN Malang museums not only preserve various tangible and intangible academic heritage of higher education, but also Islamic and Indonesian heritage from time to time. Meanwhile, as institutions for studying the identity of Islamic heritage, these two museums facilitate both the academic community and the off-campus community in carrying out object-based learning. The findings of this research can be an inspiration for other UINs to develop university museums, therefore support is needed from the Ministry of Religion and UIN, both in the form of conducive policies and financial support.
