Modern information and library technologies in the organization of scientific educational environment in higher education institution

Abstract

The modern information and library technologies study is important as libraries are centres of information and scientific activity, contribute to the creation of an effective educational environment and the introduction of the latest technologies, which increases the research level and scientific development. This publication aims were to characterise electronic resources and explore opportunities that contribute to the quality of the educational process and ensure the scientific component through digital library usage at Hryhorii Skovoroda University in Pereiaslav. The study used a mixed-methods approach, including both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The main methods of data collection were the Hryhorii Skovoroda University in Pereiaslav library website study and a structured questionnaire survey of students and academic staff about their work with the library’s electronic resources. The study results demonstrated that the library has high-quality electronic catalogues and repositories, and has the opportunity to work on international educational and scientific platforms. The survey results indicate that students and academic staff have access to electronic resources and can work effectively at their own convenience from any location. In addition to positive feedback, there are a number of difficulties that students face when working with the digital library. These include stress from the necessary adaptation to work in a dynamic electronic environment, insufficiently developed skills to process a large amount of information quickly, correctly and efficiently, and to work on different platforms, especially international ones, such as Scopus, Web of Science, etc. It is also important to keep library users informed about new acquisitions, opportunities for distance work and the specifics of working with existing electronic resources and platforms. The conducted study results can serve as a basis for the implementation of advanced information and library solutions in the libraries activities of higher education institutions, their work improvement and creation of a productive innovative scientific and educational environment
