Ocena możliwości implementacji MOOCs

Author(s): Edyta Abramek,Małgorzata Pańkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 34/2016

Research objective: The article is devoted to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC's) and their role in developing the entrepreneurial mindset of people interested in self-education. The aim of the study is to assess students’ state of knowledge, commitment and expectations regarding MOOC's. The research problem and methods: The article presents the results of a survey regarding MOOC's conducted among university students. Additionally, the possibility of using mobile devices in assessing MOOC's accessibility is also analysed. The analysis of the content of MOOC's is performed using as an example Information Technology, Entrepreneurship and Project Management courses, which are available on the Internet as MOOC's. The process of argumentation: The conclusions of the study are con-fronted with theoretical considerations and are presented in the form of implications for work related to the extension of the educational offer of universities in Poland, by massive, open, online, and free training. Research results: The study indicates that supplementing one’s education with MOOC's is not yet very popular in Poland, but the survey conducted in a selected group of students has confirmed that students are interested in MOOC's, and they take an active part in them. Conclusions, innovations and recommendations: Monitoring students’ interest in MOOC's is important in Poland because universities which offer this type of courses can use them as one of the ways to attract students already during the recruitment process and also as a way of supplementing their knowledge by specialist expertise. If more students begin to take part in this type of courses, universities in Poland will have to develop educational models involving MOOC's.

Български старопечатни издания в библиотеката на Софийския университет „Св. Климент Охридски“

Author(s): Vera Boneva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

The current text is a review of Anna Angelova's book „Bulgarian Oldprinted Editions 1806–1878: A study of the collection of the Sofia University Library „St. Kliment Ohridski“, 416 p., hardcover. The book includes two author's studies, a catalog of printed editions, stored in the library, and 734 handwritten notes from books and newspapers, left as written traces by owners, readers, and donors. The publication of the notes and a part of the author's analyzes are assessed as contributions to the history of the book. A number of criticisms have been formulated regarding the language normalization of manuscripts and titles and regarding the numerous typographical errors, which are noticeable in the book. My recommendation is for a more in-depth and extensive analysis of the studied corpus. Anna Angelova's book gives me a reason to keep insisting on a full digital corpus of the Revival editions and full-text publications of all old printed books on the Internet, including handwritten notes on them.

Използване на електронна научна периодика в образованието по социална работа

Author(s): Ginka Mehandzhiyska,Teodorina Milusheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2023

This article presents the findings of a survey focused on elucidating the attributes, merits, and utilization of electronic scholarly journals in the context of social work education. The theoretical underpinning of this study centers on the recognition of knowledge as a fundamental right and underscores the contemporary societal and educational significance of free knowledge access. Data for this research was collected through two distinct questionnaires, one administered to students (n=115) and the other to educators (n=32). The analysis of the data reveals that students exhibit a noteworthy proclivity for employing electronic periodicals in their current academic endeavors, notably in the preparation of written papers and presentations, registering elevated usage rates. Moreover, the survey underscores that educators predominantly leverage electronic scholarly journals with the dual purpose of enhancing their personal awareness of emerging studies, topics, and researchers, as well as for disseminating their own research findings. The data acquired unequivocally affirms the intrinsic value and inherent advantages of open access, cost-effectiveness, and expeditious dissemination in the realm of publishing and researching scholarly content online.

Conclusions. In the process of research, it was found that the libraries of Vinnytsia play a significant role in the preservation and dissemination of local history content. Local history work occupies an important place in the activities of Vinnytsia libraries: it is familiarization with the history of the native region, instilling interest in history, popularization of local history publications and a local history attribute in the design of libraries, formation of a local history fund and its popularization. Local history content covers diverse types of information about history, culture, nature and people living in Vinnytsia. This line of work was actively continued by Vinnytsia libraries even during the war with various forms of popularization of local history knowledge: from exhibitions-expositions, vernissages, quizzes, historical trips, slide presentations about museum exhibits, about the life and activities of famous regions to local history conferences, literary evenings, interesting meetings with famous people of the region, to the organization of activities of clubs and associations of local historians and holidays of local settlements.

ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ РОЗВИТКУ ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЇ СИСТЕМ ДОКУМЕНТООБІГУ ТА ПОСЛУГ В ОРГАНАХ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ВЛАДИ

Author(s): Vitalii Hryshyn,Liudmyla Filipova / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 3/2023

The purpose of the work is to analyse and characterise the current state of development of electronic document management systems and services in the field of public administration, to outline directions for their improvement in the conditions of a digital society, in particular at the local level of state authorities. Research methodology lies in the application of general scientific and special methods of cognition; in particular, methods of comparative analysis, terminological and other research methods, and also methods of analytical Internet monitoring. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the trends and modern characteristics of document management information systems and services in the field of public administration at the local level are traced. The importance of solving organisational problems of integrating the entire complex of administrative services to meet the needs of citizens and functional aspects, taking into account the existing structures of executive bodies of the city council, is emphasised. Prospective directions for the development of electronic document management and service based on modern technologies have been identified: smart technologies (social card, electronic ticket, etc.), digital services and the "Action" application, development of electronic identification infrastructure in the field of administrative services. Conclusions. Ukraine has sufficient technological and organisational prerequisites for the development of electronic document management and service in the government structure. Implementation of the above systems has many advantages, including: the ability to organise productive work with information resources generated from various sources; to increase the efficiency of interaction between organisations and citizens, the functioning of all components of the local government system, to reduce the time frame for preparing and making management decisions by digitising the processes of collective creation and use of documents, and to increase the efficiency of the work of both individual employees and a specific local government body. Today, the legal and theoretical framework for solving the issue of improving the work of local state authorities in the field of electronic services is considered sufficient for its practical solution and further improvement.

ЕЛЕКТРОННА КУЛЬТУРА: ДОСЯГНЕННЯ ТА ВЕКТОРИ РОЗВИТКУ

Author(s): Tetiana Lebid / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2023

The purpose of the article is to consider the legal and organizational aspects of digitization of the electronic culture and outline the main problems of its achievement. The research methodology is based on the general scientific and special research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization of materials, induction, and deduction. The scientific novelty of the study is as follows: this study is one of the first complex works about electronic culture, aimed at forming a single complex of knowledge in the chosen field. The analysis of the Ukrainian legal documents in the system of electronic culture was carried out. The peculiarities of achieving the directions defined in the regulatory documents and the problematic aspects that prevent the non-fulfilment of certain planned goals are investigated. The author substantiates the approaches to defining virtual museums. The impeding factors of digitalization and the protection of cultural heritage were identified. Conclusions. To date, the main problems and achievements in the use of advanced technologies in the field of culture, or rather, the preservation of cultural heritage, including in museums, have not been sufficiently studied. Taking into account modern realities, museums remain the main guarantors of the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people. Museums continue to interact with visitors daily and respond to the needs of society. The latest technologies make it possible to view the works of famous artists in virtual museum environments, which ensure the accessibility of cultural heritage to the general public, especially limited mobility groups. Digital technologies make it possible to visually convey information to different audiences, allowing everyone to choose the content that best suits their interests. Digital technologies in museums help not only to store and record data about exhibits but also to communicate with visitors. Regular updating of the interactive content of the objects allows to establish a connection with the modern public for whom technology is important, transforming them from passive observers to active viewers.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ ІНСТРУМЕНТІВ ДЛЯ ПІДТРИМКИ ТА МОНІТОРИНГУ ВІДКРИТОЇ НАУКИ

Author(s): Nataliia Kaliuzhna / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2023

The purpose of the article is to examine and describe the operational principles and functional capabilities of modern services and tools designed to monitor, support and analyse dissemination of research outputs published open access, which can be utilized by librarians to promote open science practices. The research methodology is based on a combination of scientific methods, incorporating content analysis of official web pages of tools and services, as well as methods of synthesis, systemic analysis, structuralfunctional analysis, and information-analytical methods. Scientific novelty. This article reviews modern tools, services and instruments, namely OpenAlex, BISON, COKI Open Access Dashboard, Journal Tracker Tool, OPTIMETA Plugins and others to support open scientific communication. It can be argued that development of open, non-commercial and shared infrastructure has the potential to vastly improve open access implementation. Conclusions. This study identified a number of innovative tools for analyzing and monitoring open access that can be used by librarians, researchers, and all interested parties. These tools are important for expanding and democratizing access to knowledge, overcoming territorial, institutional and disciplinary barriers. Improving open, non-profit infrastructure should be a key task on the path to implementing open science practices. Consequently, it is important for modern librarians to master their skills in working with open tools to monitor, analyze, and support open scholarly communication practices, given the evident potential of online tools in scholarly communication and their ability to disseminate the results of scientific activity.

ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-КОМУНІКАТИВНА ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ БІБЛІОТЕК УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ВІЙНИ

Author(s): Tetyana Ivanivna Byrkovych,Irina Vilchynska / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2023

The purpose of the article is to comprehensively investigate the essence of information and communication activities of libraries in the conditions of the war between Russia and Ukraine and to determine the role of communication strategies in the implementation of their main tasks. The research methodology is based on systemic and value approaches, with the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalisation, and others) and special methods determined by the multidisciplinary informational, communicative and socio-cultural research paradigm, which made it possible to comprehensively consider the specified problem and obtain appropriate results. The scientific novelty consists in understanding the general features of the library industry in the conditions of war. Conclusions. Library activity is one of the most important aspects of the functioning of the information and communication sphere of Ukraine, which intensified its activities during the war in order to improve the interaction between libraries and users. It has been proven that libraries in the information and communication space in wartime have undergone a process of transformation from a traditional environment to a social platform capable of resisting informational, cultural, and psychological influences of the enemy. It is noted that one of the effective strategic directions of its information and communication activities is the expansion of access to information for the audience of users both in Ukraine and abroad, and those who are in the occupied territory. Mass events aimed at supporting young people and pensioners are held; cooperation with volunteer and public organisations; work aimed at helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine and internally displaced persons; provision of information support; participation in charity events. It is emphasised that the information and communication activity of Ukrainian libraries in war conditions acquires special importance and functions on the principle of humanity, which is applied during armed conflicts and is closely related to related fields of international law reflected in national legislation. It is obvious that in wartime, libraries are almost the only social platforms for the promotion of education, legal education and upbringing in territorial communities. The war also activated new forms and methods of educational and explanatory work, the popularisation of library services that reflect the specific requests of users and meet the needs of the local population and the requirements of today. All this is an important indicator of the effectiveness and attractiveness of libraries as an informational and communicative multidisciplinary social platform in wartime conditions.

ІНТЕРНЕТ-ПРЕДСТАВНИЦТВО БІБЛІОТЕК У ПЕРІОД СОЦІАЛЬНИХ ПОТРЯСІНЬ В УКРАЇНІ: ТЕМАТИКА КОНТЕНТУ

Author(s): Lilia Kravets / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2023

The purpose of the article is to highlight the online representation of Ukrainian libraries in the conditions of quarantine restrictions and martial law, to analyze the subject of the presented content. The methodological basis of the article was institutional, systemic, structural-functional and socio-communication approaches. Analysis, cognitive, synthesis, generalization and librarian methods are also applied. The scientific novelty of the study consists in arguing for the adaptation of the functioning of Ukrainian libraries in the conditions of quarantine restrictions and martial law of the library of Ukraine, when they reoriented their work to a remote form and offered online services and electronic products, actively started blogs, pages in social networks and created YouTube channels. Conclusions. On the website, blogs, pages of social networks, in a difficult period of social upheavals, the libraries of Ukraine cover both news of library life, as well as educational, entertainment, information, and local history materials. The bibliographic, factographic, and multimedia products created help to represent the cultural life of communities, creative, literary, and cultural achievements of prominent regions and present the best assets of Ukraine to the world. The epidemic, and then the full-scale war, put Ukrainian libraries in a situation where it is necessary to quickly respond to the urgent needs of society and do it mainly with the help of online services. This is what became for the majority a test of viability and stability, of professionalism and demand. During this time, most of the important and necessary resources were created, blogs, pages were launched in various social networks, YouTube channels were established, and new information technologies and products were actively introduced into library processes. Ukrainian libraries will be in demand and useful only through active development in the digital age.

Online Platforms and New Challenges for Modern Law on E-Commerce

Author(s): N. Yu. Filatova-Bilous / Language(s): English Issue: 162/2023

This article provides a legal analysis of the nature of online platforms. The subject of the article is widely discussed among modern legal scholars since the legal nature of online platforms is very controversial: it is hard to determine the very essence of services provided by platform operators as well as to ensure fair balance of interests between platform operators and their users. The aim of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the relationships emerging between platforms and their users and to show the main challenges brought about by online platforms for the legal regulation and for legal practice. The author starts with analyzing the notion of online platforms and their role in the transformation of modern economy. A special attention is paid on the essence of sharing economy which is considered as a product of platforms’ activity. Then the legal nature of relationships between platforms and their users is explored, i.e. operator-supplier and operator-customer relationships. In this regard, various cases concerning these relationships as well as the most recent European legal acts regulating platforms are analyzed. The main problems arising in practice of platforms’ activities are discussed and the need to provide an appropriate regulation to address them is explained.

Archivní zpracování fotografických archiválií

Author(s): Emilie Benešová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2012

V letech 2007 až 2010 byl Národní archiv řešitelem výzkumného úkolu s názvem „Zpracování postupu na záchranu světlocitlivých archivních dokumentů na skleněné podložce (deskové negativy), jejich ošetření, archivaci (dlouhodobé uložení), zabezpečení a zpřístupnění.“ Primárním důvodem pro zahájení výzkumu byl špatný fyzický stav deskových (skleněných) negativů, které jsou součástí významných archivních souborů a jejich historická, společenská i kulturní hodnota je nevyčíslitelná. Skleněné desky lze snadno mechanicky poškodit, manipulace s nimi je obtížná. Skleněná podložka, vlivem špatného uložení i zacházení křehne, mění svou krystalickou strukturu; světlocitlivá vrstva, která je na ní nanesena degraduje, loupe se, vytvářejí se na ní nejrůznější „závoje“, které postupně halí obraz, až se stane nečitelným. Archiválie tohoto typu nelze předkládat badatelům ke studiu a je tedy třeba informace v nich obsažené zprostředkovat veřejnosti jiným způsobem – kvalitní reprodukcí. V rámci řešeného projektu bylo naší snahou předložit pracovníkům paměťových institucí komplexní materiál, který by řešil problematiku dlouhodobého uložení a zpřístupnění skleněných negativů, a proto jsme se pokusili…

COMPARING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENTS OF SUPERPOWERS: CHINA AND THE US

Author(s): Titu-Marius I. Băjenescu / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

The paper deals with the progress in various aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in US and China. There is concern about high-level machine intelligence and super-intelligent AI coming up in a few decades, bringing with it significant risks for humanity. In other quarters, these issues are ignored or considered science fiction. High level machine intelligence will be developed around 2040-2050, rising to a nine in ten chance by 2075. Experts expect that systems will move on to super-intelligence in less than 30 years thereafter. They estimate the chance is about one in three that this development turns out to be ‘bad’ or ‘extremely bad’ for humanity.

Muzea w pandemii: jak wyzwanie #between_ art_and_quarantine wpłynęło na funkcjonowanie sztuki dawnej w nowych mediach i w mediach społecznościowych

Author(s): Zofia Ozaist-Zgodzińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

The #between_art_and_quarantine challenge, which became popular in social media at the beginning of the pandemic, contributed to creating a lasting change in the behaviour of the audience of public cultural institutions. Its participants had to re-create a painting from a museum collection using household objects, take a picture of their creation, post it on Facebook with appropriate hashtags and “like” the museum’s profile on the site. For the first time the general public engaged so widely in re-interpretation of Old Masters works using new media with viral potential. Old Masters and creative processes became more easily accessible, egalitarian and democratic. The potential of Old Masters was also noticed by business organisations and used in advertising campaigns. Cultural institutions started to publish more content on their social media profiles promoting creative behaviour among their followers. Social media “engaged community” successfully transformed into actual museum-goers, which proves the increased numbers of visitors once museums re-opened after government-imposed temporality closure.

KULTURA DHE VEPRIMTARIA ARKIVORE

Author(s): Jusuf Osmani / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2023

Every period, every time, every state and human community has its own culture. Culture is the driving force of development and positive changes in any society, a noble subject that is important to people and gives meaning to their lives. Culture is a complex whole that includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, law, customs and all the skills and habits that man acquires as a member of society. There is also the form of material culture, that archival material can also be counted as material culture. Archival material is actually part of the written cultural treasure that is also defined in all the legal provisions related to archives. Archival material as part of the cultural treasure is protected by UNESCO conventions. Even the universal declaration of the ICA (International Council of Archives) has emphasized and confirmed the role of archives and archival material in contemporary society. This proves that archival material as a cultural treasure is more important for society and how it helps people in discovering the truth about themselves, their culture, background, identity, etc. Archives, as well as other cultural institutions, apart from museums and libraries, must be in the flow of time, organize public and cultural activities, to inform the public about the activities they carry out, at the same time to attract the users of archival material to the activity research and scientific research. In world terminology, the terms research and research are distinguished. The word search and research have the same roots. However, the meaning is different. When we are looking for something, we always know what we are looking for, but we don't know where it is. With research we trace for what is known to us, while with research we trace for something that is not known to us. In the cultural and educational activity, archives can acquaint pupils, students, but also citizens with the work of the archive and present some of the most important and interesting documents. In contemporary archival, there are various forms of cultural and educational activities of archives, such as: archival exhibitions, lectures, various publications, the study of the history of the homeland, cooperation with educational and cultural institutions, public information tools - television, press, radio, etc. , with tourist organizations, etc. All these increase the importance, role and function of the archive, which is increasingly emerging from the framework of the passive custodian of archival documents, and its inclusion in the contemporary flows of public, scientific, cultural, educational life, etc. . offering its values to the general public. However, today archival science is moving into the context of informational scientific disciplines, because this has been conditioned by the technical and informational development of society.

Analysis of sociological aspects of information security using the HAIS-Q model

Author(s): Nenad M. Jevtić,Jelena D. Raut / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 1/2024

The aim of the paper is to research the sociological aspects of information security through the HAIS-Q model, at the Faculty of Engineering Management. The research was conducted anonymously, within a time frame of four months, on a sample of 179 respondents. The HAIS-Q model is built from seven focus groups, which pervade the variables of knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, while the subject research is focused on the focus area “use of the Internet”. By analyzing the variables with the lowest scores in one of the seven focus areas of this model, gaps in information security awareness among employees are explored. The paper highlights the implications of these deficiencies for organizational security and information protection, with an emphasis on the importance of improving the variables with the lowest scores. Through a comprehensive consideration of the sociological dimensions of information security, this paper contributes to a better understanding and management of this important field, emphasizing its importance in today’s digital age.

Elementy technologii informacyjnej w “edukacji czytelniczej i medialnej” zamieszczone w Podstawie programowej kształcenia ogólnego

Author(s): Hanna Batorowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2001

Reforma systemu edukacji w Polsce w przededniu jej wprowadzenia w życie nadal wzbudza szereg dyskusji, prowokuje do formułowania kontrowersyjnych opinii, wprowadza w zakłopotanie zarówno uczniów, rodziców, nauczycieli jak i organy nadzorujące działalność oświatową. Istotne znaczenie odgrywa w chwili obecnej rozumienie zakresu podstaw programowych, określanie standardów edukacyjnych, tworzenie zarządzeń wykonawczych dotyczących konstruowania programów szkolnych, opracowywania nowych podręczników, stworzenie nowego modelu kształcenia nauczycieli zgodnie z wymogami reformy oświaty itd.
