Summary: | Library information systems and information assets administered to users
becomes the backbone with the role of information technology. However, the
application of library information systems that grows rapidly raises the risk that
causes the failure threatening librarians in assessing sources of risk threats. Risks
may include events and conditions that lead to the impact of information services
to be disrupted and the cessation of the decision-making process.
The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of risk
management on information systems in Gadjah Mada University Library using
NIST SP 800-30 framework and to determine the factors that affect the
implementation risk management on information systems at the library. Risk
management on information systems at Gadjah Mada University Library has been
implemented to anticipate the various sources of risk threats by conducting a risk
assessment, risk mitigation and risk evaluation although not documented in
writing. Informants of this study consists of librarians who have social situations
interact with library information system. The method uses qualitative case study
approach with in-depth interviews and direct observation.
The results of the study identifies a risk assessment level backup server
hangs is high risk, electricity in high risk, security systems in high risk, passwords
in high risk, authorization permissions in moderate risk and human resources in
moderate risk. To reduce and eliminate the risk impact, Gadjah Mada University
Library conducts risk mitigation by transferring the risk from a library information
system servers to PSDI (Center for Systems and Resource Information), while the
risk evaluation of the activitiesis carried out continuously with the consistency of
librarians to implement control activities risk mitigation recommendations to the
extent acceptable to the library. Factors affecting the implementation of risk
management information systems at the Gadjah Mada University Library are
influenced by the policies of the university institution, the perception of the
library's head and human resources and technical capabilities in the field of
information technology.
