In recent years, there has been a difficult personnel situation in the library and information sphere. The obsolescence of personnel against the background of the lack of young professionals, an increase in the number of employees with non-core education and the outflow of library-educated workers to other industries are only a small part of the problems faced by the management of many libraries when forming their staff.

The emergence of new methods and forms of working with information and library users, the development of new communication channels have updated the issue of the competencies of a modern librarian in a wide range of information and communication, cultural, educational, educational, scientific-analytical, social-pedagogical, marketing and other technologies.
