The learners’ preferences as a criterion of distance learning technology efficiency in the librarians’ continuing education
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 01/31/2025 - 17:38In the context of librarians’ continuing education, the distance learning technologies have become increasingly demanded. New organizational and methodological solutions are needed and need themselves continuous updating in a fast-paced information and technological environment. The authors suggest using learners' preferences as a criterion of method efficiency. They discuss the findings of the survey of librarians who received training in 2023 within the professional development programs under the federal project “The creative people”.
Origins and development of the state regulation of science popularization in Russia. (Part 1)
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 01/31/2025 - 17:38Today, the government pays special attention to science and science popularization. This includes legal regulation, in particular, and makes the focus of the humanities scholars. However, the issues of the origins of science education of the community, including via the librarianship, are understudied. The goal of this s tudy i s t o r eveal a nd a nalyze t he l egislative a cts o n n on-formal education regulation adopted in 1725–1917. The study focused on the documents comprising definitions related to the science popularization in its modern sense.
Avenues for artificial intelligence in library and information services
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 01/31/2025 - 17:38The author discusses the key concepts of the artificial intelligence, computerized analysis and machine learning. The chatbots СhatGPT, GigaChat, Alisa can be used in the libraries and information centers to assist in translations of foreign publications, article reviewing, etc. The author examines the possibility of integrating chatbot into the websites to render the first assistance to the users, in particular beyond office hours. The author reviews using AI for literature system reviewing and argues that the selection process is more efficient, and time is saved.
On the completeness and correctness of input metadata in the repositories of Russian educational organizations
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 01/31/2025 - 17:38The institutional repositories (IR) with the open access to research and educational collections play significant role in the open science infrastructure. The metadata provide IR content discoverability and repository effectiveness. The author analyzed 25 repositories of Russian educational organization to specify the metadata detail level and correctness. The educational organizations under the study are the members of “The Priority-2030” Program.
The green libraries in digital environment: Conceptualization and study vectors. (Part 2. Practice)

The universal character of the UN agenda of sustainable development and importance of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and scientific research to achieve them, and the complex and multiaspect SDGs stir high interest of bibliographers, scientometrics community, international science databases, in the problem of correlating science publications and SDGs.
The study of thematic communities within the Russian mathematicians co-authorship graphs
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 01/31/2025 - 17:38The author proposes an approach to study special interest communities based on the graph of researchers carrying up studies within the same discipline. The co-authorship graphs are the constructs of scientific collaborations popular owing the initial apparent “acquaintance” of the researchers documented in their articles. Many real networks are characterized by the clusterization, which means that the graph topology, as a real network model, is organized in communities, i. e. subgraphs with more internal connections than external ones.
