Private Universities? To become a librarian in government
employment in Indonesia requires accreditation. While in Private universities, Pendit (2001) noted
that it is difficult to identify their librarians because the system of accreditation has met resistance by the private institutions,
as a result it is difficult to identify the total number of qualified librarians working in private universities, or to assess their levels of qualifications and competency
