Hi, I'm Viona

Library & Information Science researcher from Medan, Indonesia 🇮🇩

I hold a Master's degree in Library and Information Science from UIN Sunan Kalijaga. My research looks at digital literacy, cultural literacy, and how people find and hold on to what they know - published across national journals and international conferences.
