Modern information technologies for processing and searching digitized documentsin the education of students of the specialty B 13 "Library, information and archival affairs"

Abstract

The article examines the processes of digitization of documentary heritage and the creation of electronic collections within library and archival institutions. Special attention is paid to the classification of documents subject to digitization, including unique materials, archival and library holdings, manuscripts, highly demanded documents, and materials available in limited quantities. Digitization of such documents is considered an effective approach to preserving original sources while simultaneously providing broader access to information resources. The study describes the technological stages of creating digital copies, including scanning, technical processing of images, quality control, and storage of digital files. Particular emphasis is placed on the creation of preservation copies intended for long-term storage as well as user-oriented electronic versions designed for public access. The article also analyzes the role of information systems in managing digitized materials. Digital resources are described and recorded using specialized databases and metadata standards, which ensure the organization, identification, and retrieval of electronic documents. The use of integrated platforms allows specialists to coordinate the processes of digitization, description, storage, and dissemination of digital materials within a unified technological environment. Special attention is given to the organization of digital collections and the implementation of search tools that enable users to quickly locate relevant documents within electronic libraries and archives. Furthermore, the article highlights the importance of integrating digitization technologies into the educational process for students specializing in Library, Information and Archival Studies (specialty В13). Studying the principles of creating and managing digital collections provides future professionals with the competencies necessary for working with electronic resources, organizing digital archives, and ensuring long-term preservation of documentary heritage. The implementation of such approaches contributes to improving access to cultural and scientific information and strengthens the role of digital technologies in the development of modern information infrastructure.
