        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Chair of Commission X of the House of\nRepresentatives, Kurniasih Mufidayati, has urged the National Library\n(Perpusnas) to forge cross-sector collaborations to expand the literacy\necosystem, thereby ensuring more equitable access to reading materials\nthroughout Indonesia. According to her, such cross-sector collaborations\nare crucially important to guarantee that society, especially in areas\nwith limited literacy facilities, still obtains fair access to sources\nof knowledge. \u201cWe want to ensure that even amidst limitations, the\nspirit of providing inclusive and high-quality literacy services remains\nupheld. Perpusnas must serve as the driving force capable of adapting\nand innovating,\u201d she stated in Jakarta on Tuesday. She expressed support\nfor Perpusnas in continuing to deliver the best literacy services to the\npublic despite facing budget efficiency challenges. \u201cIn conditions of\nefficiency, the most important thing is how services to the public\ncontinue to operate optimally. Access to literacy must not be disrupted\nbecause this concerns the quality of education and the future of our\nhuman resources,\u201d Kurniasih remarked. She stressed that digital services\nsuch as iPusnas have become an essential need for society, particularly\nfor students, university students, and communities in remote areas with\nlimited access to physical reading materials. She encouraged Perpusnas\nto pursue various breakthroughs to keep services top-notch even with\nlimited resources. One strategic step she advocated is the utilisation\nof corporate social responsibility programmes specifically directed\ntowards library development, both at the national and regional levels.\nSuch collaborations, she said, must remain within the framework of\nprevailing laws and regulations. Additionally, she underscored the\nimportance of the role of information technology companies in bolstering\ndigital library services, such as enhancing server capacity,\nstrengthening security systems, and developing more adaptive service\nfeatures. Previously, Perpusnas had affirmed that the 2026 budget\nefficiency policy would not impact the quality of public services,\nwhether on-site or digital, including the iPusnas application, which\ncontinues to be strengthened. Perpusnas Chief Secretary Joko Santoso\nstated that his institution is committed to providing the best services\nto the public in response to the emerging energy efficiency issues in\nsociety amid the global crisis.<\/p>",
