Abstract

This study explores the significant role of digital repositories in supporting the teaching and learning of Indonesian literature, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional literary education and modern technological advancements. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research investigates the accessibility, quality, and scope of digital library resources available to educators and students across Indonesia. Digital repositories provide a vast array of literary materials, including digitized texts, critical essays, and multimedia content, which have the potential to greatly enhance educational outcomes by making literature more engaging and accessible. Despite this potential, the integration of these digital resources into the Indonesian literature curriculum remains limited and underutilized. The findings of this study reveal both the opportunities presented by digital platforms—such as wider access to rare and diverse literary works—and the challenges that hinder their effective use, including varying levels of digital literacy among educators and students, inconsistent resource availability, and insufficient institutional support. Additionally, the study reviews strategies for effectively incorporating digital repositories into literature instruction, highlighting the importance of collaboration between educational institutions, libraries, and technology providers. Recommendations emphasize the need for targeted training programs, infrastructure development, and policy initiatives to foster greater adoption of digital tools in literary education. This review also identifies crucial areas for future research aimed at optimizing the deployment and impact of digital repositories in teaching Indonesian literature. Ultimately, the study concludes by discussing important implications for educational policy and library management in Indonesia’s evolving digital landscape.
