  • The storage of data documentation for Myanmar pagodas has various issues, and its retrieval method causes problems for users and libraries. This study utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate pagoda data management in Myanmar libraries. The study aims to achieve the following objectives: to study the library collection management of pagodas in Myanmar, to investigate the management of pagoda data in Myanmar libraries, and to identify the pagoda data requirements for metadata development from the library professional perspective. The study findings revealed several challenges facing librarians and library users in accessing and managing Myanmar pagoda data, including limited stocks and retrieval tools, difficulty in accessing all available data online, and a lack of a centralized database or repository for storing and retrieving pagoda data. The study recommends the establishment of metadata criteria for managing a set of pagoda data and improving access to technology to address these challenges.
