The Jakarta Library and Archives Agency (Dispusip) cooperated with the Library of the Directorate General of Immigration to hold a Knowledge Management (KM) Workshop in the Hall of the Directorate General of Immigration, Karet Kuningan, South Jakarta from July 22 to 23, 2024.

This workshop offers special methods for individuals and organizations

The workshop was attended by 35 participants, consisting of 30 people managing special libraries in Jakarta and five special libraries from the Jakarta Provincial Government's OPD. The speakers at this knowledge management workshop were knowledge and data management practitioners, management consultants, and special library management practitioners.

Jakarta Dispusip Head, Firmansyah said the workshop is part of the development of special libraries by supporting the strengthening of the implementation of knowledge management applicably, systematic and sustainably in special libraries, be they libraries of government institutions, non-government institutions, and places of worship.

According to him, the choice of location was not without reason, participants went on an Experiential Learning Trip to the Plaza Festival area on the second day of the workshop to explore tacit knowledge to then transform it into explicit knowledge that could be used by other people. It was in accordance with the material previously studied on the first day.

"This workshop offers special methods for individuals and organizations, both for those who are just starting to implement KM and for developing KM implementation that is already being conducted by the organization. Hopefully, it can strengthen the role of special libraries and also strengthen cooperation between special libraries in Jakarta," he expressed, Wednesday (7/24).

Immigration General Directorate Secretary, Sandi Andaryadi hoped that the workshop made the existence of the library at the Directorate General of Immigration even more impactful for the organization.

"By doing so, hopefully, the learning culture at the Directorate General of Immigration will become increasingly established and have a direct impact on improving organizational performance," he stated.
