Research of Innovative Library Technologies and Activities of Libraries for Children in Dissertation Works of Ukrainian Scientists

The purpose of the article is to analyze the main directions of dissertation research by Ukrainian scientists regarding the use of innovative technologies in libraries, with an emphasis on libraries for children. The research methodology is based on the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization, etc.) and special research methods based on the specifics of the scientific task (bibliographic, information analysis, descriptive content analysis, etc.). The scientific novelty of the study consists in highlighting the main directions of dissertation work on the use of information technologies in libraries for children, with an outline of the prospects for further research. Conclusions. The main task of the modern library is the constant expansion of its activities. In the conditions of digitization of society, access to them should be obtained by anyone who has a computer or other technological device connected to the Internet, and accordingly - to the library network. Therefore, in a modern library, in particular, a children's library, a wide variety of digital elements and resources are increasingly offered for use, all that is necessary for adaptation to new technologies and to meet the dynamic needs of users. The library should not oppose digitalization, but on the contrary - unite with it, the use of digital technologies should become a normal and necessary condition of its services. All these aspects of transformational changes should not only be taken into account in the activities of the library for children, but also actively studied within the framework of librarian science. At the moment, it is possible to note sufficient articulation in the dissertation works of Ukrainian scientists of the main aspects of informatization, which is considered the foundation of the development of digital technologies. However, the latter has not yet received significant attention in the work of librarians. In addition, it is worthy of attention to study the main directions, functions and components of digitalization of libraries for children, which, in our opinion, as high-tech multimedia environments involving the tools of the information and communication approach are able to implement the main tasks of the socio-cultural mission - socialization, inculturation, formation of interest in reading and teaching. Keywords: information technologies, library, children's library, digitization, dissertation research, Ukrainian scientists.

ВИРОБНИЧІ ЗАПАСИ: ЇХ ЕКОНОМІЧНА ПРИРОДА ТА РОЛЬ В ГОСПОДАРСЬКІЙ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

Production stocks are an integral part of the production process, and their sufficient quantity and effective use have a significant impact on the economic security of the enterprise. The inventory management system is inextricably linked with the accounting system. Accounting information is the basis for making strategic management decisions. And the possibility of using credentials is ensured by the qualitative properties of the information itself. The article analyzes dissertation works in which “inventories” were studied as an economic and accounting category. The research of the category “inventories” was carried out according to the directions: inventories (in general), production inventories, merchandise inventories, material inventories. It was established that the most popular area of research was production stocks, which were considered taking into account the sectoral characteristics of enterprises. In order to highlight the features that reveal the economic nature of production stocks, the interpretation and approaches to understanding their essence have been studied. Signs that identify stocks as production are: 1) used in production business processes; 2) transfer their cost to the manufactured product; 3) lose (or change) their shape during the production process; 4) are consumed completely during one operating cycle. An important role in scientific knowledge belongs to classification, which makes it possible to detail objects, to highlight connections between them. The article summarizes the views of Ukrainian scientists on the construction of the classification of production stocks. The expediency of their use in the accounting practice of enterprises has been determined. An alternative approach to the grouping of production stocks in the accounting system is proposed, with the allocation of classification features: by sources of income; for the purpose of use in economic activity; according to the evaluation method; according to ways of disposal. The classification is accounting, built through the prism of operations that take place with production stocks in the economic activity of the enterprise. The purpose of the classification is the reliable assessment of production stocks at the stages of their movement, the completeness of the display of operations in the enterprise’s accounting system.

Karazin Kharkiv National University. The achievement of the set purpose was accomplished through revealing the figure of the scientist Kostiantyn Niemets, justification of the human-geographical approach based on the information-synergistic paradigm, highlighting the formation of the concept of sociogeosystem and the sociogeoprocess, the peculiarities of the implementation of ideas in the educational process, the training of specialists and scientists, highlighting the potential of human geography and the information-synergistic component of human- geographical research in accordance with today's challenges. Results. This article presents an analysis of the information-synergistic component of human- geographical research in the scientific heritage Kostiantyn Niemets – Honored Professor of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The role of the synergistic paradigm is defined as the basis of modern science and scientific research. The implementation of the synergistic concept in sociogeosystems research, the definition of the role of the information resource and the features of information exchange are substantiated. The main contradictions between society and nature are revealed; the structure of the sociogeoprocess is considered; the main principles of the interaction of society and natural systems in the multi-system of nature management are revealed. The ideas of the formation of the concept of sociogeosystems and sociogeoprocess are highlighted and the features of the implementation of ideas in the educational process of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. are revealed. An analysis of the scientific heritage, which is realized in the scientific research of students and followers of Kostiantyn Niemets, is presented. The latest research and publications were analyzed, in particular, theoretical and methodological developments, the research toolkit, which was introduced during the implementation of dissertations for obtaining the scientific degree of doctor and candidate of geographical sciences under the leadership of Kostiantyn Nemets, as well as during the implementation of scientific research developments, projects and grants, powerful scientific publications authored by Kostiantyn Niemets. The article shows his huge contribution to the development of scientific research and support of young people. The results of the analysis of the dissertation works, which were created under the leadership of Kostiantyn Niemets, and the features of the introduction of the human-geographical approach and the use of powerful mathematical apparatus and modeling methods in these works are presented. Today, the synergistic paradigm is becoming one of the most important foundations of modern science and is being widely implemented in all fields of scientific research. The synergetic paradigm arose at the junction of many fundamental directions of science in the second half of the 20th century, its main methodological premise is a fundamentally different and unconventional understanding of the development of phenomena, processes, and systems in the surrounding reality. In contrast to the classical interpretation of development as a linear process, synergetics interprets the concept of development as a non-linear process that occurs as a result of the interaction of a large number of factors of different nature. In this regard, human geography occupies a leading place, because the main object of its research – the sociogeosystem – combines natural and social subsystems; therefore, human- geographical research includes all aspects of a synergistic approach.
