DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION CULTURE: THE KEY COMPETENCE OF A MODERN HUMANITARIAN

Abstract

The author clearly outlines the connection between the growing role of information resources in the humanities and the need for humanities students to adapt to the digital environment. The article substantiates the idea that the humanities are based on working with a large amount of information, which requires skills in searching, analyzing and processing data, collaboration with colleagues in other fields using digital tools to analyze data, visualize information, and collaborate on projects. Effective search, analysis and critical evaluation of information, as well as its successful application – all this is guaranteed by the formed information culture. The paper examines the impact of digital humanities and their integration with traditional methods, and highlights the importance of lifelong learning. The idea that the university is designed not only to provide basic knowledge, but also to contribute to the formation of skills for the effective and responsible use of information technologies in professional activities is substantiated. In conclusion, the author draws an unequivocal conclusion: investments in the development of information culture are a direct contribution to the success of graduates of humanities specialties in the modern labor market and to the development of the humanities as a whole.
