The problem of determining the structure and content of the professional competence of library specialists in the context of digitalization is becoming more and more urgent and does not find its solution due to the lack of a valid professional standard for a specialist in library and information activities. The need to clearly describe the structure of the digital competence of the modern librarian, as well as how to develop it, determined the problems of this article. The methodological and theoretical basis of this study was compiled by leading theories and scientific schools on a competent approach, set forth in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The paper describes the structure of digital competence of the university library staff, which includes cognitive, functional-activity, motivation-value and communicative components. The organizational and methodological conditions for the development of digital competence among the staff of the university library are justified and described. The authors developed the contents of educational routes built taking into account the specifics of the digital activities of the categories of university employees.

The article is devoted to the study of digital competence as a component of work activity of a mediator specialising in education. The article analyses the professional standards of a mediator in Russia and abroad, the work duties of a mediator in educational organizations. The authors have developed a model of digital competence of a mediator in education, which includes the basic and professional level, represented by three spheres: online mediation, conflict prevention in the virtual environment; informational and psychological security. Empirical research has been carried out to identify indicators of digital competence of mediation specialists in education who work in the Siberian region. There have been determined deficiencies and dependencies of the indicators in terms of spheres and components of digital competence. In order to develop the digital competence of mediation specialists in education, the authors propose ways to improve the training of master’s students at the Siberian Federal University.
