Abstract:

The enrichment of educational process in the stage of higher education today is connected with the introduction of new modern technologies on the basis of which the opportunities for successful professional realization of the graduates are expanded. It is extremely important, at the same time, to study disciplines related to the main traditional forms of working with information.

The high information and bibliographic culture is an important characteristic of the professional in the archival and library-information sphere. In the academic preparation of the students in the Bachelor's degree programme of the specialty Archival Science and Documentation, an important segment of knowledge and skills is mastering the analytical-synthetic processing of the documents. It requires knowledge of the different categories of information sources, their specifics and basic characteristics, as well as mastering the rules for creating bibliographic information for its proper structuring and dissemination. The times we live in are dynamic and saturated with information. If a proper bibliographic record is not created for a specific document, we risk it being difficult to access and unusable, lost in the vast "information flow". The development of bibliographic culture is a multi-stage process related to the study of several basic academic disciplines, the symbiosis of which guarantees the quality of training of students.

The curriculum of the specialty Archival and Documentation Studies at the Department of Library Management and Archival Science, Faculty of Library Studies and Cultural Heritage, University of Library Studies and Information Technologies (ULSIT) includes a group of disciplines distributed for studying by students throughout the training period and aimed at achieving high information literacy and bibliographic culture. The complex of disciplines, with an upgrading character, supports the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and the creation of practical skills for working with information sources and creating metadata in accordance with the standards, which will ensure the document flow in the modern information environment.

The purpose of this report is to present the main characteristics of the following disciplines: Information Sources, Academic Writing, Book Science, Documentology, Bibliography, Information Services, Bibliographic Culture, Annotation and Referencing, which are part of the process of building a bibliographic culture of future professionals, graduates of the specialty Archival and Documentary Studies. The aim is for the analysis to lead to the formulation of conclusions and recommendations for future updates in the direction of improving the quality of education and to improve the teaching methodology.
