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 University Libraries on the Path to Enhancing Equity, Diversity, Accessibility, Inclusion(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2024) Kolesnykova, Tetiana O.ENG: In this issue, our distinguished authors share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about the role of higher education institution (HEI) libraries in promoting equality, diversity, accessibility, and inclusion in today's society. Conversations around this topic are not a new focus in HEI libraries. Librarians create and strive for improvement in developing a comfortable and welcoming environment (online and offline) for all students, faculty and staff. Librarians care about the diversity and accessibility of collections and services. But in this time of uncertainty, university communities want answers to general or ‘point’ questions about library support for vulnerable university communities (especially students with disabilities) and local communities. The articles pay special attention to the consideration of practices, tasks and strategies for the near future, provided by the Ukrainian authors as their selfreflection, direct experience of working in wartime, i.e. a crisis of the highest level, involving a threat to human life and health.
