“…Cassidy et al (2011) suggest that rather than adapt modern technologies touted in the media, librarians need to adapt their services to the specific expectations and preferences of their patrons. Maull, Saldivar and Sumner (2012) explain that for a library to grow, it is necessary to adapt efficient and scalable methods to improve patronage. In this regard, Kiscaden (2014) evaluates the current information environment with its many available information sources and recognises that it may be difficult to keep abreast of current information sources relating to a specific discipline.…”

“…Additionally, Wai Fan ( 2005) suggests that university libraries need to set up electronic resources to easy information gathering for research purposes by subscribing to databases to help researchers improve their research output. Hence, Maull et al (2012) conclude that as library efforts continue to mature, there is a growing need for efficient and accessible approaches to describe their interest and acceptance, impacting on teacher and student practices and learning.…”

“…Abubakar and Adetimirin (2015), when describing the importance of e-resources, maintain that while it is easy to retrieve materials through electronic information resources, librarians still have the responsibility to ensure that patrons get maximum benefit from their use. Maull et al (2012) recognise that the different types of automation available in libraries need to match patrons' information preferences as well as expectations. In contrast, Burhanna, Seeholzer and Salem (2009) argue that the arrangement of the physical library spaces may provide patrons with enough room for social collaborations needed to encourage improved use of library esources.…”

“…Same as a blackboard or a slide, web-based technologies are a powerful tool -but only a tool that should be used pedagogically in order to improve learning (Maull et al, 2012;Zashchirinskaia, 2020). Regulatory documents use the term electronic learning resource (ELR).…”

The use of digital educational resources is based on ensuring that control measures are fixed and that the educational process as a whole is more transparent. The purpose of this article is to research the use of digital educational resources in primary school. The methodological basis of the study is determined by the possibility of using the design method. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the digital educational environment is understood primarily as the function of knowledge transfer and the desire to combine conventional teaching methods with innovative principles. It was concluded that the digital environment should be designed and taught to future teachers not only as an applied subject but also as an infrastructural component. By comparing the experimental and control groups, the authors empirically confirmed that pedagogical influence using web-based technologies is more effective than previously used ones. Keywords: blended learning; education; conventional teaching; technologies; web resources.
