Reliable collection of lliteratures about Madura is still rare to find in any libraries across
Madura. Therefore, organizing Paddhu Madura (Madura Corner) is undeniable need for an
emerging campus like IAIN Madura. This paper elaborates the initiative which has been
arisen for long yet still got ups and downs. The research questions consist of the delay of
establishment, detailed plan to implement this initiative in a close time and formulation on
ideal concept of the project.
As a field data research, compilation data of this paper will be through interview, observation
and library search. Ruling officers, senior librarians and Madurese experts will be the main
informants. Meanwhile, observation will take place to other libraries, particularly those
organized any specific corner on local/national collection. This library research, in its turn,
will uncover features and experience of certain libraries concerning on local collection
preservation.
It is hypothetically found that the initiative relatively remains stagnant due to financial
management and unserious willingness. However, the plan can take place in a close time
together with the moving moment into a newer building. Among others, this corner will not
only provide literatures about Madura, but also encourage publication and documentation as
its long term programs.
