The article focuses on the current state of library web content accessibility. Methods. 56 library websites of different countries (27 digital libraries and 29 specialized library resources for people with disabilities) have been successfully tested for the compliance with the WCAG 2.1 standards using the Webaccessibility.com service. Using the Alexa.com service the comparative analysis of the websites traffic ranking has been additionally conducted. Results. It has been established that only 3 websites out of 56 meet the accessibility standards of WCAG 2.1 with the compliance score of 92%. Conclusions. It has been concluded that the libraries' current practices of providing web content accessibility are insufficient. The emphasis has been placed on the need to optimize and promote specialized library resources and to implement a continuous audit of web content accessibility by means of automatic testing and engaging users with disabilities into these processes.Item European Practices of Overcoming Language Barriers in Times of Crisis: Open Educational Resources(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Kolesnykova, Tetiana O.; Corti, Paola; Buist-Zhuk, MiraENG: Objective. In any given country, the national language and education not only help to impart knowledge but also broaden the horizons of students, teaching them to be more tolerant of different cultures. Today, the Ukrainian language as an important component of national identity and state building is one of the main goals of Russia in its war against Ukraine. That is why one of the main challenges for higher education in Ukraine during wartime is to create modern and high-quality educational materials in the national language as quickly as possible, in order to facilitate remote teaching, learning and research processes at universities. The mechanism for responding to this challenge is to turn to the experience of creating, adapting and using Open Educational Resources (OER) in Europe and the rest of the world. The aim of the study is to consider the practices of creating, adapting and using OER in European universities and libraries in the context of their benefits, including the possibilities of overcoming language barriers in times of crisis. Methods. This article is based on the analysis of the literature on OER practices in facilitating the overcoming of language barriers, on the activities of ENOEL, on the practices of librarians and educationalists of several European universities, as well as on self-reflection and direct experience of the circumstances of the war by Ukrainian librarians, who continue information support of the educational process. Results. The theoretical aspects and implemented practical solutions demonstrate that OER can be an effective solution in times of crisis (whether a pandemic or a war) to the issue of quality information support of distance education with materials in the national language in any country in Europe and the world. In the context of higher education in Ukraine, OER is a means and one of the methods of overcoming linguocide by the Russian Federation – the purposeful destruction of the Ukrainian language as the main feature of the ethnic group. The experience of working with OER of the USUST Scientific Library (Dnipro, Ukraine) is the story of a library that was looking for opportunities to answer its local challenges and resolve problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, and found solutions that became necessary during the war with Russia. Conclusions. The authors hope that Ukrainian-language OER will soon become a mandatory element in the cultural environment of Ukrainian universities. And it is OER that can help overcome Ukrainian linguocide in educational resources. The experience of librarians of the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL) proves that one of the most important roles in this is played by university librarians.Item Віршування як ресурс відновлення емоційної рівноваги(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Шкира, Ольга ІванівнаUKR: Мета.

Substantiation of the ethical component place in the set of modern librarians’ key competencies. Methods. Conclusions and results have been obtained due to use of dialectical, socio-communicative, analytical-review methods, methods of systematization, comparative analysis, bibliographic analysis, content analysis and document analysis. Results. The need to supplement the educational standards on the speciality 029 “Information, Library and Archival Affairs” bachelor’s and master’s levels with ethical component – the librarian’s understanding of the principles and values of information and professional ethics, academic integrity and capacity to follow them was justified. Conclusions. Adherence to professional ethical norms and the spread of the academic integrity culture creates the conditions for the demand for other librarian’s professional competencies because it provides the value of knowledge and personal theoretical and applied achievements. Given the urgent need to spread the culture of academic integrity in the scientific and educational environment and the lack of relevant educational goals in bachelor and master educational standards, Ukrainian Library Association offers the scientific and methodological basis for the formation of the academic integrity culture as an important competence of a modern librarian within the framework of implementation of the compensatory function.Item Safety as One of the Most Important Components of the Digital Competence System in Wartime Conditions(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Hlavcheva, Yuliia M.; Odnovolykova, Olena V.; Novosolova, Svitlana Y.ENG: Objective. To determine the place of safety skills in the system of digital competences and the role of the university library in their formation among users. The acquisition of safety skills in working with information will allow users to level out and control the negative impact of external information factors. Among the factors that negatively affect a person, there is a colossal amount of information, consisting of actual, relevant, and useful information, as well as garbled, fake, manipulative, and destructive ones. Methods. Empirical methods have been used in the investigation. The practical experience and recommendations of international and national experts in the direction of the formation of safety skills in working with information have been analyzed. The level of their implementation by the library at this stage has been monitored. Result. It has been determined that for the qualitative and integral formation of users’ safety skills in working with information, it is necessary to expand the list of activities and topics in the direction of their popularization and training. The acquisition of safety basics of working with information will allow users to restore and maintain control over physical and psychological health. Conclusions. So, the ability to safely interact with information is one of the most important components of the digital competence system of users, which is especially important in wartime conditions. Teaching such competences will help users to realize, control, and level out the negative impact of external information factors, and that's why it can be considered an urgent task for libraries as institutions that are competent to work with information.Item Determining Implementation Approaches of Effective Digital Competencies Training(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Breslavets, Oleksandr Yu.; Hlavcheva, Yuliia M.ENG: Objective. To analyse approaches to the organization of user training that can be applied in distance learning of digital competencies. Mastering digital competencies by users is known to be one of the important tasks not only for higher education but also for the whole society. Therefore, we consider it important not only to provide quality training, but also to encourage more users. Methods. Empirical methods are applied. The article examines the "user roadmap" - the steps from user identification of necessary competences to quality mastery of competences. At every step, the user needs help. Results. Based on the analysis done, recommendations have been developed for organizing work in university libraries in this direction. The expected result is an increase in the number of persons trained and an increase in the effectiveness of user training in digital competencies. Conclusions. We believe that in order to obtain a high-quality result, it is necessary to provide comprehensive user support. Specialists in information departments in institutions, including university libraries, have the opportunity to do this successfully due to the following advantages: the possession of relevant knowledge and its constant improvement, communication with users who are motivated for successful learning.Item Formation of Image Communications of the Library in the Modern Information Space(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Vasylynyna, Oksana M.; Derevianko, Liudmyla I.; Doroshenko, Svitlana M.ENG: Objective.

The students’ academic achievement is related to their intelligence (IQ). Studies on factors that affect student academic achievement are still relatively limited and few. Purpose of this research is to consider student academic achievement with the ability to read a collection of textbooks from the library collection. Methods. The research method used is quantitative research. While the method of observation is experiment. Results. First hypothesis is academic achievement has a significant relationship with the good reading method. The hypothesis is accepted because academic achievement has a significant relationship with reading habits. Both the experimental group and the control group showed that academic achievement has a significant relationship with students reading methods, or it can be said that the good reading method is equivalent to students' reading habits. Second hypothesis, academic achievement has a significant relationship with students' reading ability is accepted. The calculated Chi-square count is greater than the Chi-square table. Third hypothesis, academic achievement has a non-significant relationship with access to information sources, meaning that the hypothesis is rejected. Conclusions. Student’s academic achievement had a significant relationship with the good reading method and a non-significant relationship with reading ability. Student’s academic achievement had a non-significant relationship with access to information sources.Item Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Algorithms for Assessing the Authenticity of a Scientific Article in Scopus: Translator's Experience(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Osadchyi, Vitalii I.; Osadcha, Olena V.ENG: Objective. This paper examines ways to solve the problem of cross-language plagiarism in scientific works written in Ukrainian, which are to be translated and published in English. Considering that Ukrainian university libraries are directly involved in the practices of improving the level of awareness of lecturers and scientists, as well as their support of a large number of new digital tools, we draw attention to the emergence of new opportunities in the practices of supporting academic integrity. Methods. Big Data mining techniques and analysis of algorithms underlying machine translation software were employed to identify the cases of cross-language plagiarism in scientific articles originally written in the Ukrainian language. Results. Based on the analysis of 4000 translated manuscripts, it was established that the standard Microsoft Word 2022 software, typically used to write an article, identifies with a very high accuracy those parts of the text that had been earlier published and stored in a digital format. Conclusions. With the advent of Microsoft Office 365 software (released in 2022), it becomes possible to check any article originally written in Ukrainian or Russian, while being translated into English, for similarities with previously published academic papers. This allows for an instantaneous correction check that may prove useful in preventing the intended or unintended occurrence of cross-language plagiarism in scientific papers. It is advisable to more actively involve librarians of Ukrainian universities in using the powerful potential of digital support for the research activities of their users, including writing papers and checking them for signs of plagiarism.Item Reorienting Library Space and Services of Book Depositories under the Conditions of Martial Law in Ukraine: The Case of the Largest Libraries of Zakarpattia(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Medved, Mariia M.ENG: Objective.

Information products and services provided by academic libraries to support the educational process and research are a component of the information ecology of educational institutions, but their list within each academic library depends on the institutional ecology. Therefore, it is useful to study the practical experience of various academic libraries in ensuring the information ecology of research universities. As an example, we consider the successful experience of G. Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" (KPI Library). Methods. A qualitative method of longitudinal research was used to obtain data and analyze the KPI Library information services. A number of primary data sources were used, such as diaries of first-hand reflection, observations, engaged in documenting and developing a narrative about the effectiveness of interaction of students, lecturers, scientists with the information environment. Analytical and review, logical, systematic methods are applied to substantiate the place of library service in information ecology. Results. The experience of KPI Library in ensuring the information ecology of the university was studied. Ways of organizing prompt, effective and safe (ecological) interaction with users and support of internal information products and services are analyzed. It is shown which services (tools and information resources) and areas of activity of the library form the information ecology of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The role of the library in the formation of information culture and the culture of academic integrity of scientists, teachers and students of the university is shown. Conclusions. The considered example of KPI Library activity confirms that an academic library is directly involved in formation of the information ecology of a research university. A deeper analysis of the value of products and the effectiveness of library services for various members of the academic community as a component of the information ecology of the university may be the subject of further research.Item Про дистанційне навчання, відкриті освітні ресурси та роль в цих процесах університетських бібліотек(Український державний університет науки і технологій, Дніпро, 2022) Колесникова, Тетяна Олександрівна; Горбова, Олександра Вікторівна; Щербатюк, Тетяна ГригорівнаUKR: Мета. Покращити розуміння університетських спільнот (викладачів, студентів, бібліотекарів) щодо розвитку дистанційного навчання, відкритих освітніх ресурсів та нової ролі університетських бібліотек в цих процесах. Методика. Основні дані щодо розвитку дистанційного навчання, OER та збільшення ролі в цих процесах університетських бібліотек були отримані завдяки аналізу фахових публікацій у періодичних виданнях і на сайтах університетів світу, застосуванню методів включеного і зовнішнього спостереження, опису власного досвіду авторів (директорки наукової бібліотеки, доцента з IT-дисциплін і завідувачки відділу наукової бібліотеки), які працюють в Українському державному університеті науки і технологій (Дніпро, Україна). Результати. Встановлено, що впровадження систем дистанційного навчання, використання та наявність відкритих (краще – безкоштовних) джерел інформації на платформах відкритого доступу чи відкритих освітніх ресурсів (OER), обмін науковими дослідженнями в цифровому науковому просторі тощо – ці складові тісно по’вязані між собою та використовуються серед викладачів, науковців, студентів. Дистанційна освіта потребує включення в процеси як викладачів – авторів відкритих освітніх ресурсів, так і працівників окремих служб, що здійснюють інформаційну та ІТ-підтримки викладачів і створених ними ресурсів. Такими структурами є університетські бібліотеки, які одними з перших підтримали філософію відкритості та включились в процеси підтримки відкритого доступу, відкритої науки, відкритої освіти на базі інтелектуальних інформаційних систем і технологій. Розглянуто досвід наукової бібліотеки УДУНТ – структури, що уможливлює онлайн доступ до текстових і нетекстових OER як необхідного елементу при забезпеченні обмеженої особистої взаємодії між викладачем і студентом, що навчається. Висновки. Сьогодні, в часи кризи, спричиненої пандемією Covid 19 та війною в Україні, активно закладаються основи, щоб надання освітніх послуг в університетах, зокрема, дистанційної освіти, стало динамічним і багатовимірним. Необхідним є інтегрування електронних бібліотечних ресурсів з платформами дистанційного навчання для забезпечення безперешкодного доступу студентів і викладачів.Item Information Analytics in the Structure of Ukrainian National Libraries Activity (Based on Analysis of Their Sites)(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Kobieliev, Oleksii; Karpenko, Olena; Safonova, Tetiana; Zimenko, OleksandrENG: The objective of the study is to determine the optimal structure for organizing information and analytical activities of Ukrainian libraries of the national level. The method of analysis was used for identifying the diversification of the forms of organization of information and analytical activities of the indicated libraries. The results of the study indicate the existence of two forms of organizing national libraries regarding the implementation of information and analytical activities, one of which is based on realizing their functions in different departments of libraries, and another one is aimed at creating a separate unit in the organizational structures of libraries. The conclusions of the study proved the dependence of the form of organization of information and analytical activities in national libraries on their level in the library system. Creating separate departments carrying out information and analytical activities can be considered as a perspective form of organizing information and analytical activities of Ukrainian national libraries due to the increasing responsibility of employees for the timing of the work and integration of analysts of various specializations, as well as creating conditions for developing the cognitive component of library activity.Item Getting Ready to Hyflex: An Assessment of the DLSU Law Students’ Use of Online Library Resources and Resources(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Frias, Willian S.
