Main goals. The main objective of the library is: to provide participants in the educational process (students, teachers, parents) with access to information on various media: * paper (book fund, periodicals); * magnetic (stock audio and video cassettes); * digital and disk-communicative (computer networks and other media).
INFORMATIZATION-STRATEGIC DIRECTION OF DEVELOPMENT OF ALL LIBRARIES A school library is built as an adaptation environment in the world of reading information And using new technologies to expand the library space, integrating children in society, and school libraries into the general information and library space, should be considered as the most promising direction in library policy Children have the right to their territory.

Bolshereche - 2009
Relevance
In a message from the Head of State to the participants of the All-Russian Library Congress in 2009, it was noted: “Today libraries are able to play a crucial role in the development of education, science and culture, and become authoritative centers of education and leisure for our citizens, especially young people. And therefore it is important to give them a new look, adequate to the requirements of the time. The main thing here is to strengthen the material base of libraries, equipping them with modern technology with access to the Internet space. ” In June 2009, parliamentary hearings "Legislative Support for the Activities of Libraries of Educational Institutions in the Field of Spiritual and Moral Education of Children" were held in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. N.V. Gerasimova, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma, noted: "School libraries should not only be a repository of books, but an information, cultural and leisure center for students."
At the stage of the development of the information society, the importance of the school library and the librarian is very great and constantly growing. In this regard, it is obvious that the school library in the traditional sense does not meet the needs of a modern educational institution. The modern library has a special mission - a complete informational service of the educational process. For the school library to take its rightful place in the educational and information space, it must become the information center of the educational institution, where all resources are concentrated. It is the unification of all resources in the library, including the Internet, that allows the school to really modernize the educational process.
The following processes are observed in the schools of the municipality, leading to changes in the attitude towards the school library and library business in general:
Changed approaches to teaching, when teachers increasingly use design and research methods in their work, developing students' thinking skills that allow them to learn independently and socially adapt, contribute to a greater involvement of the librarian in the learning process.
The actual informatization of the educational process and its effectiveness depend on the teacher, and on the librarian - the accumulation and formation of a fund of information resources, storage, processing, information, organization of supporting activities with all participants in the pedagogical process.
The presence of a local network in an educational institution with free access to Internet resources encourages librarians to use the latest Internet technologies in librarianship - to master automated workstations, gradually create an electronic catalog, digitize book collections.
The rapid changes taking place in information resources and technologies, the development of Web 2.0 social services, and the development of their capabilities initiate the development of new forms of school library activity. They force the librarian to learn how they can be used in traditional and non-traditional forms of working with books and other resources, enabling participants in the pedagogical community (teachers, students, parents) to participate in library changes.
The practice of the library of the municipal educational institution “Bolsherechenskaya Secondary School No. 2” shows that a significant part of the library fund is catastrophically outdated and remains unclaimed by readers. Modern students prefer visual information rather than textual information. Many educational materials have become available in electronic form, there is a massive development of social services Web 2.0. Our library currently has only one personal computer, therefore the model “1 computer: 1 student”, available to many children at home, is not implemented. Along with this, there is an increase in the need of participants in the educational process for information assistance when working on a computer and on the Internet.
Despite the above trends, our library is not only a collection of books and other printed publications, but also a media library, which provides an opportunity for independent activity outside of lessons with a computer with Internet access.
Therefore, the theme of our project "School Library - Information and Cultural Center"
Project Objective Objectives
Objective of the project - Creation of the most comfortable conditions in the school library, contributing to the intellectual, emotional and social development of participants in the educational process.
Project Objectives:
To provide participants of the educational process with equal opportunities to access information on all types of media;
To help students develop the skills of an independent library user: the ability to work with a book and other information carriers, search, select and critically evaluate information;
Organize a comfortable spatial environment of the library and create an attractive library design for readers;
Provide the library with technical means for storing and issuing books, electronic access to the local network of the OS with Internet access to digitized resources from any study room or from home;
To increase the information and communication competence of the school librarian.
If conditions are created for all categories of readers to receive information resources on any media, this will contribute to the functioning of the school library as an information and cultural center.
Problem analysis
There are contradictions in the educational institution:
between the need to modernize the educational process and the lack of information and cultural space in the library;
between the need to use modern means of information retrieval and the low material and technical base of the library;
between the need to combine a school library and an office of computer technology (such as a technical center, computer lab, publishing center, etc.) and the lack of equipment for such a union.
Conceptual provisions
D. Maynes identifies 4 elements of the concept of a modern library:
The library in the center of which the user is located (user-centrist). Users participate in the formation of content and services that are in the field of view of the web presence.
A library that presents a multimedia experience.
The modern library is socially enriched.
It is innovative as an element of society.
In the light of updates and changes in the field of informatization of education, the school library receives a new mission: it becomes one of the most important channels providing free access for the reader (user) to information. A modern library is not only an office where visitors receive the necessary book and information, but also a place where they independently create useful information. A new understanding of the mission of the school library makes us rethink the main directions of library services:
- library services to help education;
- library services as a means of socialization of the individual;
- library services as a means of rehabilitation of children with "special
needs ”(disabled, socially disadvantaged, gifted).
Having studied the brochure Gromova OK “Typical models of school libraries”, the most suitable for our educational institution, the first model of the library was chosen. It meets the goals and objectives of the school library, as stated in the IFLA / UNESCO School Library Manifesto: “The school library provides information and ideas, without which it is impossible to function successfully in a modern society focused on information and knowledge.”
The main function of the school library of this model is information support of the educational process. They understand it here much more widely than simply providing students and teachers with textbooks, manuals and methodological literature.
As a rule, in addition to the mentioned provision of educational and methodological literature, the library is expected to:
providing an expanded repertoire of popular science, reference, and periodic buildings, up to the organization of interlibrary loan (MBA);
maintaining a complete reference and bibliographic apparatus (catalogs and thematic file cabinets for the book fund, and other storage media, reference lists, periodicals for file cabinets, etc.);
regular thematic and informational reviews of literature and periodicals.
The school library should be not only the most important information resource, but also a center that shapes the information culture of students and teachers.
The concept of a modern library is a new look at library services in general. Key tasks do not concern how to provide access to books and information, but primarily what is meant by the introduction of innovations, how to build a community of like-minded people who can be enriched through participation in social services. This is achieved through trust, encouraging users of library communities to participate, contributing their opinions to the resources they used and new ones that they would like to access.
The staff of the modern library build their activities in a completely new way:
master the capabilities of AIBS "MARK-SQL" (Automated Information Library System: Version for school libraries);
work with specialized software;
create sites of their libraries;
blogs inform participants of the educational process about upcoming events, new arrivals;
on wikis they create online clubs for reading enthusiasts for schoolchildren and parents and place documents and books
in the services of joint storage of media files post presentations of their scenario developments of classes on information culture;
help students post on the sites the results of project activities;
save a collection of bookmark links to useful and interesting web pages while working with bookmark storage services.
The main areas of work:
introduction of new information technologies in the system of conducting library lessons and events;
organization of a system for training participants in an educational institution in the use of information resources;
acquisition of the library;
library design change;
the development of Web 2.0 social services by all participants in the educational process;
creating a library web page as part of a school site.

Library as an information center
educational institution
Kashkimbaeva Roza Amangeldievna
Librarian of Akyn Sara High School
In recent years, questions regarding the status and activities of libraries of educational institutions have been in the center of public attention. A number of documents emphasized their special role in the educational process.
The Address of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Leader of the Nation, N. Nazarbayev to the people of Kazakhstan, “Socio-economic modernization is the main vector of development of Kazakhstan” dated January 28, 2012, states that computer literacy should be improved through various incentive programs. The message urges all Kazakhstanis to actively learn information technologies. One of the necessary conditions for achieving a new, modern, high-quality general education is government support for school libraries as centers of information nnoj kultury.Orastuschey the importance of providing students with the fullness of information resources referred to in the "Concept of Education Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan till 2015".
The State Program for the Development of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011-2020, approved by Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 7, 2010 1118, outlines the goals and objectives of e-learning - ensuring equal access for all participants in the educational process to the best educational resources and technologies and creating conditions for implementation automation of the educational process. In 2011, functionalities were developed for the administrator, deputy director, teacher, student, medical worker, librarian.
In the conditions of the information society, built on deep knowledge, school libraries are the cells of the information society and the center for the formation of information and innovative processes in a particular educational environment. Their important mission is to fulfill the fundamental tasks stipulated by the new educational policy with the help of new information technologies (NIT).
One of the most effective NIT tools is electronic libraries, the importance of creating the creation and functioning of which is obvious. The laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Informatization", "On Copyright and Related Rights", "On Intellectual Property", the development of the concept of an electronic school library and the Regulation on the electronic catalog ensure the operation of the ESB.
In the LAW OF THE REPUBLIC of Kazakhstan dated 12.24.1996 56-1 “On Culture” it is noted that “librarianship“ librarianship, as a branch of culture, is the main informational, educational and cultural and educational activity ”.
Currently, a new education system is being developed in our country, focused on entering the global educational space, in implementing the Bologna process strategy, which is characterized by significant changes in pedagogical theory and practice. The development strategy of Kazakhstan until 2030, proposed by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev, provides for a radical modernization of the entire education system of the country. In the context of the tasks outlined, the modernization of education received its consideration and issues of development of school libraries.
In the message of the Head of State to the people of Kazakhstan “Let's build the future together” (2011 (the task of moving to a 12-year learning model by 2020 is defined. The new school will certainly require a new library.
The school library provides training programs, books and other informational resources to all members of the school team, thereby encouraging users to develop critical thinking and effectively use all types of information.
The school library is guided in its activities;
Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan;
Laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, normative acts of the President and Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, determining the development of education and culture;
Orders and orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its authorized structural units;
Orders and orders of the regional education department, city (district) department of education;
School charter
The rules of the internal labor schedule of the school;
Orders and orders of the principal;
The present provision.
Informatization and internetization of the education sector determines the demand in the library as a special, system-forming component of the information and educational environment.
Library - information center of the school: information for consideration or a guide to action?
Russian education entered the 21st century, armed with new plans, goals and ideas. Basically, of course, with ideas, but that's great. This is proved by various programs of informatization, computerization and the Federal Program for the Development of Education.
The main goal of the latter is “the development of the educational system in the interests of forming a harmoniously developed, socially active, creative personality ...” (3, 19), and one of the main goals is “harmonious development of the personality and its creative abilities based on the formation of motivation the need for education and self-education throughout life. ” (3, 19)
It was not by chance that I chose precisely these goals, where the leading concepts are “socially active”, “creative”, “self-education”. The fact is that the formation of these concepts is impossible without new approaches and new technologies, many of which are focused on independent work of schoolchildren.
In addition, an information revolution has occurred in the world over the past decade. High rates of development of information storage and processing technologies allow access to it at the international, national, regional levels. The problem of access to information has come to the forefront, and access is not only physical, but also intellectual, which is today one of the most relevant not only in Russia but also in the world.
Simply put, the personality that we have to educate should not only be able to receive information, but also know what to do with it and how to do it most effectively. (In parentheses, we note that when we talk about information, we mean the definition of information (from lat. Informatio - information, clarification, presentation) as “information about objects and environmental phenomena, their parameters, properties and states that perceive information systems (living organisms that control machines, etc.) in the process of life and work ”(5.8), or as“ information transmitted by people orally, in writing or in another way (using conditioned signals, technical means, etc.) ... ”(1, 455).
Meanwhile, one of the barriers to accessing information is low information literacy, or culture, of users. Moreover, we use the term “information culture” in the broad sense of the word, which implies the ability of an individual to navigate both traditional and non-traditional sources of information, the ability to determine what information is, where it can be searched and found, how it can be extracted, processed and the most important thing is how you can use it. Young people should be able to find and put into practice information about what prospects for continuing education they have, what role the plan plays in writing an essay, or, for example, what, specifically for them, threatens the greenhouse effect and why it is important to know about the causes of Stalin's repressions.
However, very often students do not even know how to use traditional sources of information, such as a book or periodical. It is sad to see how a student of grade 9, having received that encyclopedia, does not know from which end to open it and how to find the necessary material there. Well, there is no need to speak about differences in the quality and reliability of materials in the monograph (by the way, what is this?) Or the popular science youth magazine. This problem does not exist for many. What can we say about the so-called new information technologies. The bulk of schoolchildren do not know what electronic catalogs and file cabinets are, they have never “visited” electronic libraries, but I heard about the World Wide Web from the TV screen.
Naturally, such graduates amaze the imagination of teachers of higher, secondary specialized schools and librarians (not school). It is characteristic that in this situation, they are trying to put all the blame on the school library. How legitimate this is, we will not talk now, one thing is clear - the school library in these conditions is the most important link that can solve the problems of improving the information culture of students. And since the modern school is faced with the task of teaching children how to use computers competently, to master the skills of working with search information systems., Schoolchildren need to be taught how to work with sources of information on both traditional and non-traditional media, with electronic catalogs and card indexes
It is school libraries that play a key role in developing students' understanding of the search for information and the development of their skills in handling and working with information sources. Therefore, one of the trends in modern library services in schools and primary vocational education institutions should be to expand the range of knowledge and practical skills that teachers and students can acquire.
The main goals facing today's libraries of the education system follow one from another and are closely interconnected:
· Providing broad guaranteed access to information
· Maximum use of the potential of new information technologies to improve user service
· The formation and development of information literacy, the culture of students.
Therefore, the information and bibliographic work of the library is becoming increasingly important, which includes several areas:
· Reference and bibliographic (or reference and search) apparatus,
· Reference and information services for students and teachers,
· Educating young readers of the skills of an independent library user.
Each school library forms a reference and bibliographic apparatus, which includes alphabetical and systematic catalogs, a catalog of scientific, methodological and pedagogical literature, as well as card files necessary for information and bibliographic support of the school library. The number and subject of file cabinets depends on the needs of the school.
Reference and bibliographic and information services for students are usually carried out through the organization of work on the design of book exhibitions and exhibitions - views, bibliographic reviews for students, compilation of recommendatory and information-thematic lists of literature. Reference and bibliographic services for teachers include the holding of Information Days, Department Days, bibliographic literature reviews, periodical press reviews, consultations, compiling information lists of new arrivals, preparing individual information for individual departments and teachers
Finally, the most important part of the work of the school library is the education of the students' information culture, which is carried out through a system of library and bibliographic lessons. Each school should have a schedule and curriculum of such lessons, which indicate the class, topic, number of hours.
Based on the Model Provision on the library of a general educational institution, today's school library is a structural unit that implements in its activities three main functions - information, cultural and educational (see 4, 48). According to some researchers, the school library is the main information resource for most students and 64.5% of school teachers.
However, one cannot fail to note the presence of many problems, among which the most serious and typical are:
· An almost complete lack of staffing (according to our surveys, more than 70% of librarians of schools in the Pskov region consider this to be the most important brake in their work)
· A large load on library workers who work with various age groups of students, teachers; essentially organize two funds: literature and textbooks;
· Poor technical equipment: units of school libraries can boast of the presence of audio and video equipment, and there is no need to talk about computers, especially from the CD-ROM;
· Lack of reading rooms - as a rule, there are several tables where readers can engage;
· Misunderstanding by the administration of the role and place of the library in the structure of the educational institution. Often the school principal considers the library as a point of delivery of textbooks. (By the way, this is probably the main reason for the deplorable situation, from which all of the above follow).
In a rural school, where the full time librarian is often missing, these problems are compounded. Naturally, it is very difficult to talk about modernization, new approaches and views on the library in the face of so many problems. “Meanwhile, issues of a financial nature are not as important as issues relating to the very essence of education. Any profound change in the process of communication, that is, our ability to access data, information and, ultimately, knowledge, as well as in processes that help us make discoveries, inventions, learn and learn, will certainly have a profound effect on education. Therefore, when evaluating a new information technology - the Internet system - we need to make the right decision, because the rate is high. Using the word Internet, I mean that this short term implies a number of technologies, such as personal computer networks, hypertext and hypermedia, the World Wide Computer Network and much more ”(2).
How to combine the incompatible and solve the insoluble? How to solve the problems of school libraries and really make them a “school of information handling training”?
It seems to me that there is a wonderful way out of the situation that will help to make a breakthrough in the situation with school libraries and become the first step on the path to informatization of the educational space of the region. The school library fits perfectly into the school's informatization program as the most logical structural unit, especially at its initial (informatization) stages. This unit is designed to initially accumulate, store and disseminate information. World practice has shown that traditional storage media perfectly coexist with non-traditional ones, mutually developing and complementing each other. By the way, in American literature and science there is a stable term “information and library science”.
“In fact, the library and the Internet are increasingly being considered together with each other, that is, they both offer a huge variety of materials, only in different formats - in both cases, both students and teachers receive direct access to data, texts, images and other forms of information ”(2)
Recently, various models of school libraries have appeared in different regions of Russia: an educational center, a media library, a media center, and others. It seems to me that they all reflect one approach with slight variations on the role and place of the library in the school: the library is an information center. This approach means:
· Mediation between information and the consumer (between the school staff and the global information space), i.e. accumulation, distribution, popularization of various materials, the provision of background information;
· Assistance to students and teachers in identifying resources and using information, developing strategies for those who want to engage in self-education;
· Expert advice and recommendations for users to help them find and process the information received;
· A modern reference and search system that allows you to quickly and fully find the necessary information;
· Databases and data banks on the methodology and education;
· Systematic training of students in the use of new and traditional information technologies
Immediately make a reservation that the information center can have a different number of funds, rates, equipment (depending on the capabilities of the school), and accordingly different goals and objectives.
This approach to the role and place of the school library allows us to solve many important tasks of information support of education. In particular, the problems of ensuring education management with reliable, relevant information that will make it possible to objectively judge the processes taking place in the educational space, keep abreast of new educational strategies, know pedagogical technologies, and therefore be able to use effective methods and management systems in their activities make the right strategic decisions.
Is the creation of such centers realistic in this situation? It seems to me that in the conditions when one computer at school is the only not only real, but also logical solution, if the information center means a structural unit that really collects, stores and provides information necessary for the management, functioning and development of the educational institution .
This is logical, because it expands the resources of the school library. This is logical because it allows you to use these resources for a full day. This is logical, because in the absence of the necessary information on traditional media, you don’t have to rush around the school (lyceum, gymnasium, college, etc.) and immediately find it in electronic databases. Finally, this is logical, because the lessons “Fundamentals of Information Culture”, which must be held in each class and which include acquaintance with new information technologies, can be held here in the school library.
The creation of information centers based on school libraries will allow:
“- increase the efficiency, completeness and accuracy of the information received when servicing subscribers;
- reduce labor costs for technological operations (acquisition, organization and use of funds, reference and information services);
- expand the range of services provided information support and reference services related to the preparation, introduction and prompt provision of reference information;
- optimally use the documentary and information resources of both its library and other organizations, including those having departmental, territorial and state affiliations, in the interests of users;
- increase the comfort of users and library staff;
- to satisfy the need of teachers and students in new types and forms of information educational tools specially designed for the Internet (for independent work on academic subjects and various aspects of the educational process) ... ”(6, 5).
I would like to draw attention to another aspect of this problem. The transformation of libraries into information centers with the active use of new technologies will become the basis for creating a single information space and will help to solve another problem fixed in the general directions of development of the Federal Program for the Development of Education - "Develop and gradually introduce a unified automated library network in the education system. Optimize , strengthen and develop libraries of educational institutions and other organizations of the education system. (Duration: 2000-2005) " (3, .54).
Now that we have made sure that the creation of information centers is possible, logical and, in general, is the only way out and a real solution to problems, we can dwell in more detail on the specific tasks that school libraries (and school administrations) face when implementing a plan for introducing new information technologies into practice.
The first (and perhaps most important) is the need to make a decision. After that, there are trifles: a strategic library development plan or development program is being developed, which includes:
· Analysis and assessment of the current state of the library (with an objective description of the strengths and weaknesses of its activities);
· Identification of problems that need to be solved to improve the work;
· The goals of creating a new model;
· A list of tasks (these are financial, material and technical, and personnel, and methodological tasks);
· A program for the implementation of tasks (i.e., a specific action plan).
The most important thing is to correctly assess the situation and make the right decision so as not to be in the role of two greedy teddy bears from a fairy tale.
The algorithm for implementing the implementation of the new model may include:
· - creation of electronic catalogs and file cabinets;
· Automation of intra-library processes - preparation of bibliographic lists of literature, fund accounting, work with acts, subscription of periodicals;
· The formation of funds of non-traditional storage media (floppy disks, CDs);
· Creation of databases of available methodological developments and programs;
· Providing the ability to obtain information using electronic document delivery (via the Internet or other information networks);
· Receiving and disseminating information (bibliographic, regulatory, etc.) of other information institutions (via networks or CDs, etc.);
· Receiving information from educational authorities;
· The creation of software banks (one of the possibilities of replenishment of which is the design of computer programs by schoolchildren).
Naturally, with this approach, not only the material and technical base and financial tasks, but also the correct personnel policy plays an important role. The role of the school librarian is becoming somewhat different. He should become a specialist in the field of library information technologies, able to collaborate with teachers (primarily computer science) in developing a systematic approach to working with information. The head of the school library should have sufficient horizons to see promising tasks, be able to carry out strategic planning, be able to perceive new knowledge.
Here one more problem arises - retraining of personnel. However, just there is no problem. For example, the center of scientific and pedagogical information of the Pskov Regional Institute for Advanced Studies of educators is ready to conduct courses and seminars that will help current librarians become experts in the field of using new information technologies, which, with the high qualifications and creative potential that they possess, will be quite easy. By the way, in 2001 we held a seminar “Working with electronic catalogs and file cabinets in the Mark system.” This year we conducted courses for school librarians “New approaches to the work of the school library”, where one of the key blocks was Marc system training.
So to summarize. What will the school turn the library into an information center?
Again, we will not list the advantages of automation and computerization of intra-library processes.
Most importantly, a unit appears in the school that is able to organize and disseminate information in order to expand students 'knowledge and improve the professional skills of teachers through the introduction of new, effective technologies, which is interested in developing students' skills in handling information sources
The regional education system receives a ready-made platform for combining all libraries of educational institutions into a single information resource and thereby creates the prerequisites for entering the Russian and world information space, which is necessary to ensure guaranteed wide access to information and its (education system) informatization
The regional meeting on the work of school libraries, which took place in March this year, proves that the Main Directorate of Education under the administration of the Pskov Region understands the importance of new approaches to the work of school libraries, and allows us to hope that in the near future all school libraries in our region will be transformed into modern information centers.
PS. When I was preparing this material, a thought flashed through my mind: “Poor school librarians will say that, well, they say, one more obligation falls on our shoulders!” But then I remembered the continuing education courses for school library managers, the keen interest of the latter and their willingness to introduce new technologies into practice and thought: “No, we’ll succeed with such personnel, if only the school principals understand the importance of new approaches and meet us !
