Digital library system as a means of self-development of generation Z university students (the case study of the learning course “The basic knowledge for summer camp leaders”)

The digital library system of universities is examined by the example of the learning course “The basic knowledge for summer camp leaders”. The theory of generations, socio-psycological characteristics of learning styles, and corresponding pedagogical methods and technologies in education and library and information services provided to the generation Z users, are discussed. The generation’s characteristics are: hypermobility, creativity and mental quickness, realistic attitude, rapid moving into adulthood, and the fact that they are not enthusiastic about hand writing. At the same time, the young adults are characterized by clip way of thinking, lack of motivation, laziness, no love for reading, communication through mems and emojies, low tolerance and responsibility. Within the digital information environment, the generation Z processes clip information in no time and, hence, they are not able to act thoughtfully, to concentrate and to analyze facts. These characteristics are admitted by psychologists, physiologists, sociologists, and pedagogues. New teaching methods and technologies have to be designed, learning and recreational information content based on digital convergent approach to be generated. The significance of cooperation and interaction between professionals in the education, information and library spheres is emphasized. The study is accomplished within teaching the optional course “The basic knowledge for summer camp leaders”.
