Academic libraries in the new millennium are leaders in knowledge management. Librarians in universities are innovative in their use of new information technologies to provide access to a range of multimedia sources. Today’s libraries teach students the information handling skills to last a lifetime. As the heart of the educational institution, the SPUP University library has a vital role to provide the necessary resources for the learning and research needs of its clients. Thus, this study was conducted to look into the responsiveness of SPUP library resources and services to ensure students’ readiness towards ASEAN integration. The results of the study clarified the extent of utilization of the library resources and availing of the services rendered. Likewise, the skills and competencies of the academic librarians which are needed to facilitate and foster involvement in the initiatives to be undertaken to strengthen the students’ readiness towards ASEAN integration were elicited from the respondents. Findings revealed that students’ utilization of library resources and services is to a great extent. Moreover, the library skills and competencies in the ASEAN integration among SPUP librarians is high. Meanwhile, the students chose to create library flyers and brochures for the promotion of the ASEAN integration as one of the prioritized initiatives to be implemented by the SPUP library to strengthen students’ readiness towards ASEAN integration.

This chapter presents the overview of academic libraries, the adoption of social media in academic libraries, the copyright concern in academic libraries, the concept of knowledge management (KM), the overview of KM in academic libraries, and the significance of KM in academic libraries. KM in academic libraries includes a process of collecting, organizing, classifying, and disseminating the library resources and materials throughout academic libraries. Knowledge in the context of academic libraries can be created through understanding the library user needs and requirements as well as the university's curricula. The adoption of KM is required for academic libraries that seek to serve academic librarians and educators, increase academic performance, strengthen competitiveness, and achieve continuous success in the information age. The chapter argues that applying KM has the potential to enhance the educational performance and reach strategic goals in academic libraries.

Most extant knowledge management systems are constrained by their overly rational, static and a contextual view of knowledge. Effectiveness of such systems is constrained by the rapid and discontinuous change that characterizes new organizational environments. The prevailing knowledge management paradigm limits itself by its emphasis on convergence and consensus-oriented processing of information. Strategy experts have underscored that the focus of organizational knowledge management should shift from 'prediction of future' [that cannot be computed] to 'anticipation of surprise.' Such systems may be enabled by leveraging the divergent interpretations of information based upon the meaning-making capability of human beings. By underscoring the need for synergy between innovation and creativity of humans and the advanced capabilities of new information technologies, this chapter advances current thinking about knowledge management.

В статье рассмотрена актуальная проблема использования новых информационных технологий в процессе обучения в вузе. Авторами раскрыты особенности применения современных информационных технологий в организации учебного процесса вузовского военного учебного центра при работе в удаленном режиме в период пандемии короновируса. Доказано, что наличие визуального (электронного) канала коммуникаций при использовании разнообразных технических средств и программ и создании глубинных электронных учебников позволяет по-новому организовать плановый учебный процесс в военных учебных центрах, повышая интенсификацию труда преподавателей и обучающихся без снижения уровня их подготовки. Использование компьютерных средств для передачи и отображения информации, реального моделирования разнообразных производственных и технологических процессов обслуживания и эксплуатации авиационной техники различных типов дает возможность осуществлять в полном объеме теоретическую и практическую подготовку специалистов инженерно-авиационной службы непосредственно на базе центра, исключая необходимость иметь в центре разнообразные, в том числе и современные, типы самолетов и вертолетов, агрегаты и узлы которых имеют лишь конструктивные различия, более детально изучаемые в ходе производственной практики в войсках. The article treats a relevant issue of using new information technologies in the process of education in higher education institutions. The authors of the article focus on the application of modern information technologies in the process of distance education at a military institution during the coronavirus pandemic. The article maintains that visual communication, various applications and software, electronic textbooks enhance teachers’ and students’ involvement in the educational process and ensure high-quality education. Centers, which are equipped with digitalized information processing systems and the systems of modeling various technological processes associated with the maintenance and operation of different aviation equipment, can ensure comprehensive aircraft engineering training (both theoretical and applied). As for the details of aircraft parts and components, they can be further learned during the army internship program.

Innovations change the world in all spheres of life, and education is not an exception. Modern requirements of time put us new challenges that require the use of new information technologies at all stages of the educational process in higher education institutions, in particular the use of the Internet. In addition, it has been noted that Internet resources increase motivation and contribute to the formation of a fully developed personality. Testing and evaluating students' knowledge and abilities is an integral part of the credit-module system. One of the forms of evaluation of the initial level of knowledge, consolidation and improvement of assimilation of information is testing. It should be noted that in a number of countries, testing has shifted traditional forms of control — oral and written exams and interviews. However, in Ukraine, educators remain adherents of a combination of testing and classical analysis of material. It allows the most efficient distribution of the training time of a practical class, 100% control of the knowledge and the effectiveness of mastering the material of all the students of the academic group. Technical progress stimulates the search for new variants and possibilities of testing, its various variations. One of the options that can help solve this problem was a smartphone. In order to facilitate the work of the teacher at the Department of Microbiology, an online testing system with the use of smartphones was introduced. Online testing is conducted among students with Ukrainian and English language training. With the Google Forms platform, the teacher creates a form which contains the student's records and tests. Students directly from the teacher get a link to fill out an online form directly at the lesson. For testing, a database containing standard KROK-1 licensed test tasks is used. The form can contain any number of test tasks that are in arbitrary order, as well as a changed order of distractors, which makes it impossible to write off. At the same time, all students are in the same conditions: all write one option. After submitting the form, the student receives a notification that his response is recorded. Re-linking is not possible. In turn, the teacher receives a message on the result of the test in the table — the ratio of correct answers to the total number of questions, as well as options for their answers. First and foremost, questions are displayed on which students gave the largest number of incorrect answers. This allows the topic to be considered in the process of discussion of the most difficult tasks from the students perspective, and in the future it will allow more efficiently to create forms for on-line tests and to focus on these issues.
