    This study explored the relationship between demographic variables and reading habits among Indonesian secondary school students, focusing on gender, age, current school, school type (public or private) and level. 451 students from six schools participated in the study. We used an explanatory sequential design, a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected through an online survey based on the reading habits scale by the National Library of Indonesia and included demographic questions. Qualitative data were then collected through an in-depth follow-up survey. An independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA analyzed the influence of gender, age, current school, school type and school level on reading habits. Thematic analysis analyzed the qualitative data from the survey. The quantitative data indicated that students possessed low reading habit levels. Among the demographic variables, school location, public or private and level influenced the reading habit score, while gender and age had no influence. The qualitative findings highlighted the need for reading motivation, parent reading attitude and school library improvement to enhance reading habits. This study highlights practices that could shape reading habits, especially in secondary and upper secondary school students.

    Robust information literacy (IL) self-efficacy is a cornerstone of effective learning. The effect of demographics on IL self-efficacy among Indonesian university students was studied, focusing on gender, age, and current university. Two hundred twenty-four students from four universities participated in this mixed-methods study. Quantitative data, collected through an online survey based on Kurbanoglu's IL self-efficacy scale, were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA. Qualitative data from follow-up surveys were thematically analyzed. Results indicate high IL self-efficacy. The university which students attended affected IL self-efficacy, while gender and age did not. Educational background, IL experiences, and access to information significantly influenced self-efficacy. The importance of IL skill development in a digital, information-rich world was demonstrated. Valuable insights into the effective use of a two-stage survey on IL self-efficacy tied to demographics are provided, aiming to promote educational equity, refine interventions, allocate resources, enhance curricula, shape policies, and equip students for the demands of the information age.
