THE ROLE OF LIBRARIES IN CLOSING DIGITAL DIVIDE

The event was held by Forum Perpustakaan Perguruan Tinggi (FPPTI) DKI Jakarta in collaboration with Binus University International at Binus International Campus at FX, 6th floor, Wednesday (27/4).  One of the speakers was Imanzah Nurhidayat, the founder of Makedonia Makerspace and Innovation Hub. He explains that digital divide is an inequality of computer access, access to broadband or internet, and digital literacy. “Libraries are very essential to overcome this digital divide,” said Imanzah. This idea was conveyed at the seminar “Mobile Technology Utilization as a Means of Library Service Improvement”.
