Introduction
information library electronic
Libraries have become one of the most popular Internet resources. They are called both virtual and electronic, digital libraries. The peculiarity of this kind of library is that a certain part of the information collection (or the entire collection) after digital processing becomes available via networks, CD or DVD. They can be virtual, that is, exist, so to speak, “without walls,” or rely on the resources of existing traditional libraries. In the latter, catalogs are usually digitized first, and the data necessary for users is sent by email, regular mail or fax. To satisfy the requests of readers, specially trained staff works using modern means of information and communication technologies. The name “electronic libraries” is the most frequently used in Russia.
How are such libraries useful for professional activities? The fact that it is possible to work with catalogues, access to electronic materials: digitized printed works (books, magazines, illustrations, maps, diagrams, graphs, etc.), photographs, films and videos, paintings, three-dimensional models, animations, audio files and so on. Moreover, catalogs and many electronic materials are offered in free (free) access.
In this essay, we will consider the essence of electronic libraries, their role for professional activities (using the example of a teacher’s activities) and the features of working with electronic libraries.
1. Digital libraries and their role for professional activities
The availability of materials in various electronic formats, whether originally created electronically or digitized, has necessitated discussion of the concept of a digital library, which has been defined as follows:
“An electronic library is an information service in which all information resources are contained in machine-readable form, and all functions of acquisition, storage, preservation, issuance and access are provided through the use of digital technologies.”
Professor Ole Garbo of the Royal College of Librarianship from Copenhagen (Denmark) notes a number of significant changes that have arisen as a result of the use of modern information and communication technologies in libraries.
Let us analyze these trends using the example of a teacher’s professional activity.
ü Firstly, there are obvious prospects for reducing the cost of distributing normative, educational, and methodological information through the use of Internet technologies. Already, a lot of materials do not need to be printed, stored, transported and distributed. Electronic publications help expand the capabilities of authors. Even small-circulation and therefore low-profit publications can find their readers and bring a positive practical effect. ü Secondly, the time it takes for the necessary information to reach its consumers in the form of schools, teachers, students and their parents will be significantly reduced. ü Fourthly, access to rare sources will increase due to their digitization. Sources stored on such short-lived media as paper, film, audio and video tapes, disks, records will be preserved from disappearance and complete oblivion, especially since some reproducing devices are gradually disappearing from use (for example, record players). ü Fifthly, innovative information and advanced pedagogical experience are being disseminated more intensively. It is possible to work for free with the catalogs of the largest state, regional and university libraries and track the necessary data on modern publications. The development of innovation is also facilitated by electronic publications of books, encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers or electronic versions of printed publications. ü Sixthly, the possibility of obtaining quick access to all the information available in the world is constantly expanding (some information is provided only on a paid basis, but this is often common practice outside the Network, for example, in the case of copying necessary materials). Users can work in digital libraries, regardless of the physical location of information sources, at any convenient time of the day and in any place convenient for the reader. All this undoubtedly increases the teacher’s interest in teaching and research activities. At the same time, there are a number of problems associated with the functioning of digital libraries that still cannot be overcome, and, most likely, this will not be possible in the near future. Some of them are very serious (such as the problem of information security), some duplicate similar problems of any traditional library (when it is closed, its collections cannot be used in the same way as in the case of technical problems on the Internet). Some problems can be addressed periodically (for example, updating outdated computer hardware and software), while others cannot (it has not yet been possible to develop sufficient grounds for protecting intellectual property rights). Many countries around the world are concerned about creating digital libraries. In the USA they began to form in the 80s of the 20th century, in Great Britain - in the early 90s of the 20th century. The “Digital Libraries of the 21st Century” project is being implemented in Japan, and the “Global-Info” electronic library is being created in Germany. Currently, more than one and a half thousand large and medium-sized libraries in different countries of the world provide access to their electronic catalogs; in the USA alone, about 96% of public and 85% of university libraries are connected to the Internet. Catalogs of national libraries of 47 countries of the world are presented at: #"justify">The Internet does not limit research opportunities by national borders, time or other barriers, so the world's largest libraries are accessible to everyone. But these foreign libraries cannot fully become an alternative to Russian libraries or completely replace them. The problem is not only that Russians do not know foreign languages well. For any country in the world, it is very important to preserve and develop the national cultural heritage and contribute in every possible way to the creation of an information environment. In Russia, the creation of electronic resources and their software and hardware, including via the Internet, began in 1995 and is supported by a number of government scientific and technical programs. At the round table “The Future and Problems of Russian Libraries”, held on January 26, 2005 at the Moscow Center of the Internet Education Federation with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, heads of Internet companies and creators of electronic libraries, employees of state educational, cultural and scientific institutions, lawyers , journalists, it was noted that the creators of Russian digital libraries are faced with serious technical, organizational, financial difficulties, social and legal issues. Despite all these problems, in the Russian-language part of the Internet alone the number of noticeable electronic libraries is already several hundred, although not all of them are regularly updated with new materials. State electronic libraries strictly observe copyrights and strive to use electronic copies as an additional source of funds, which, however, is natural, since it is necessary to purchase equipment, pay for the work of specialists, create funds, and so on. Private collections sometimes have a significant number of digitized materials in the public domain, however, they are created, most often, in violation of intellectual property rights, without guaranteeing that the source corresponds to the original, or protection from plagiarism. What materials can a teacher, for example, find for his professional activities in free access in Russian electronic libraries? This largely depends on the status and funding of the library, its connections with research centers. The largest number of reliable electronic materials and a wide range of services offered among electronic Russian libraries are available in federal libraries. The largest Russian library is the Russian State Library. On the library website (#"justify">For biologists, many interesting resources are presented in the electronic library of the Central Scientific Agricultural Library of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (#"justify">The MSU Library is not accessible to external users, as it has entered into a license agreement with the Scientific Electronic Library for connection computers of their university local network to the resources provided by the electronic library, therefore only the libraries of some faculties are available for free use on the Internet. History teachers will find the library of electronic resources of the Faculty of History interesting (#"justify">2. Features of working with electronic libraries So, electronic libraries (another name is online libraries) are sites that collect electronic versions of texts - literary works, criticism, art criticism, memoirs and scientific literature. Let's consider the forms of working with these libraries. But first, let's look at some of the libraries. The oldest network library on the Runet existing today is the library of Maxim Moshkov<#"justify">· the ability to search for books within a specific library; · the ability to search for books in several libraries; · the ability to subscribe users to updates of specific books in the electronic library; Federal libraries <#"justify">National and republican libraries of the Russian Federation <#"justify">Foreign libraries #"justify">Conclusion Drawing a conclusion from the above material about digital libraries, we can draw the following conclusions. The provision of materials in electronic form means that, with the appropriate hardware and software, users can access the materials regardless of location. There is no longer a need to personally come to the library where the materials are stored, as was the case with printed publications. Thus, there is a great opportunity to expand access to funds, while avoiding the rapid deterioration of materials. Creating a scenario for providing access to large quantities of resources over the network requires significant financial and human resources. What is certain is that electronic libraries will develop and improve. Gradually, from copying printed publications and creating collections of digitized materials, libraries will move on to performing more complex work, and will begin to perform not only consulting, but also teaching functions. Moreover, in the future, digital libraries will turn into “public centers of the information society.” The creation of large and accessible national electronic libraries contributes to a more efficient use of information, which will subsequently have a positive impact on the level of development of science, technology, culture and will improve the education system. Electronic libraries that provide the opportunity to work with modern electronic educational resources in free access mode will help improve the efficiency and quality of professional activities.

“Electronic journal in the work of teachers and class teachers”
Electronic magazines and diariesare slowly but surely becoming part of the daily life of schools. Education should not lag behind other areas of life, because schools educate people who will live in the society of the future. And it is no longer possible to imagine tomorrow without computers, the Internet and other technical means of the new century.
The program has an intuitive interface that replicates a traditional classroom journal. The basic operating techniques are very simple, which makes it much easier for users with a wide variety of PC skills to master the program. It can be noted that there is a significant saving of time when working with the program and the teacher is freed from routine operations. The program automates the thematic planning process and makes it possible for both the teacher and the administration to track the progress of the program and, if necessary, make adjustments.
The program works on the basis of a database already available at the school, which frees the school from the need to maintain several databases.
The use of an electronic class journal in the activities of all subject teachers completes the construction of a unified information space of the school, in which teachers, administration, students and their parents would be united. Purpose The implementation of the “electronic class register” is a gradual transition from paper to electronic forms of recording student progress, automation of routine computing processes.
Advantages "electronic classroom magazine":
- “transparency” before students, parents and school administration of the progress of the pedagogical process,
- objectivity in issuing intermediate and final grades;
- the ability to predict the performance of individual students and the class as a whole;
- ease of control over students’ attendance at classes, educational and thematic planning and implementation of programs by teachers;
- high level of log data security, subject to compliance with information security rules
First of all, we will create all the conditionsfor the work of a subject teacher with “EJ” in the workplace.A single local network unites all school computers and all computers used by the school administration.
My fundamental position is that a subject teacher should work with an electronic journal only at his workplace in real time. Information technology should actually make a teacher’s job easier, not complicate it. The teacher should see the real benefits of working with an electronic journal to automate the routine processes of recording student progress and making their work easier. Working with an electronic journal should save teacher time.
But in order for all this to start working, the school administration held a seminar, the main idea of which was to show the specific capabilities of the “EJ” program to really facilitate the work of subject teachers and class teachers. During this training, basic technological techniques for working with the program are mastered. It is especially important that all school teachers receive work skills, since all teachers will work with the program at their workplace independently.
A serious obstacle to the introduction of an “electronic journal” is that an electronic document in a school does not have official status and cannot be a full-fledged replacement for a traditional journal. Thus, the need arose to maintain two copies of the class journal - in electronic and traditional form.
Since working with “EJ” is mandatory for all teachers, an indicator of performance can be considered the timeliness of entering information and the objectivity of the output of final grades. The difficulties faced by teachers are regularly monitored and instructive seminars are held in the system to overcome these difficulties.
I would like to emphasize that information technology in our school is not an end in itself, but only a means to improve the quality of our activities.
Now the electronic classroom journal in our school is a set of software tools, including a database created in the automated information and analytical system “Paragraph” and the “Classbook” program, as a means of accessing and working with it to keep track of the current progress of students and monitor them attendance.
By registering on the St. Petersburg Education portal, parents have the opportunity to really influence the learning process of their child and thereby, together with the school, solve the problem of improving the quality of the educational process not in words, but in deeds. Access to the electronic diary using an access code is only possible for your child’s data. The implementation of the program has a pronounced social orientation, because There are no costs on the part of parents.
Introduction of electronic journal and electronic diary -this is the new standardschool informatization. It allows the school to rise to the modern levelInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT)), meet all its requirements.
The state of electronic journals and diaries of students (04/28/14 meeting with the director)
We live in conditions of global informatization of the world space. Informatization has penetrated into all spheres of human activity and is one of the main conditions for achieving success. In this regard, the role of the school as an educational institution is undergoing significant changes; today, what comes to the fore is not the transfer of the amount of knowledge accumulated by humanity, but the technology of rapid search, comprehension, transformation, storage and transmission of information, as well as the technology of posing problems for research and searching for them solutions.
Therefore, it is no coincidence that the main problem of our educational institution is to ensure an improvement in the quality of education. Improving the quality of education can be achieved through the widespread use of information resources and computer technologies in teaching. The school’s unified information space is a system in which all participants in the educational process are involved and connected at the information level: administration, teachers, students and their parents. This connection is most facilitated today by the system of electronic journals and diaries
The electronic school magazine is a new standard for school computerization in the near future. It allows the school to rise to the modern stage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and meet all its requirements.
Today, the material and technical base of our school has computers used both in managing the educational process and in the educational process itself. Separate rooms have projectors, printers, and screens. The management has created conditions for increasing the ICT competence of school staff, a local network has been launched, and all teachers have access to the Internet. But, unfortunately, computers are not available in every office. However, the above conditions allow our school to actively introduce the use of electronic diaries and magazines. This process allows you to automate progress monitoring, duplicate school journal entries, protecting it from distortion, and makes it possible to control the accumulation of grades in subjects.
The purpose of the electronic journal is to facilitate the timely identification of educational and other problems of students; their elimination through targeted actions; forecasting further activities of the teacher and student to improve the quality of knowledge.
The electronic journal does not require anything other than Internet access. Teachers can work with it from home, and parents can also monitor their children's progress at home.
The electronic logs in the system display complete statistics and present all the necessary calculated indicators. For example, automatic assignment of grades for a quarter (the program calculates the average score based on current grades)
The administration has the ability to control the occupancy of the journal and sees the full picture of progress in any section: by class, by subject, individually by teacher or student. In this regard, electronic magazines are also good helpers for both class teachers and parents.
Based on the above, we can come to the following conclusions about what a school electronic journal should be like:
1) The electronic journal is similar to the school paper journal and has an easy way to fill it out;
2) Student data on grades (as well as other information entered into the electronic journal, such as comments, omissions, etc.) are available only to those who have the right to see them: teachers, school administration, parents (in the student’s electronic journal) ;
3) Students and their parents have the opportunity to control the average grade in subjects, thereby working to improve their performance. A summary report of students by subject helps with this.
4) The electronic journal monitors the number and completeness of grades given, ensuring correct certification of students.
The class teacher and school administration have tools for monitoring and diagnosing class performance in each subject, in individual classes, for each teacher and for each student;
5) The electronic journal provides the ability to monitor missed lessons, by date and by subject;
6) Users of the electronic journal have the opportunity on the page with class grades to visually distinguish grades for tests, independent and other types of work;
Analyzing my work in this area, I want to say the following: I give grades regularly, of course, I do not have the opportunity to give them every day. But still, I try to do this work on the weekend. The inconvenience for me personally is the following: I have to write out grades in a separate notebook and transfer them to an electronic journal at home. And also, sometimes problems arise on the site itself, I don’t know what it depends on, but sometimes the loading speed of one mark is about a minute and in order to set all the marks you have to spend a lot of time, this happens, but quite rarely. And, of course, despite widespread informatization and computerization, not all parents still have access to the Internet and therefore cannot use the electronic diaries of their students.
In my opinion, the introduction of electronic journals and diaries into the educational process contributes to: greater meaning, certainty, focus and awareness; as well as the activation of students’ cognitive activity and the implementation of real person-centered learning; and as a result - improving the quality of education.
