There was carried out comparative and content analysis of the Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral higher education levels educational programs, implemented by Chinese universities in the specialty “Library Science”, “Information Management and Information Systems”. This allowed to determine the general and the specifics of the Information Field Science training in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), to establish interdisciplinarity educational components, to substantiate the objective strengthening of the information component in the content of higher education in library science. The results. The article has looked into the content and structure of 227 different levels educational programs (EP) of the information specialists training, with 41% of them being the Bachelor’s level EP, 49% — Master’s, and 9% — Educational-Scientific Programs (ESP) for the Doctor of Management degree (an equivalent to the Doctor of Philosophy) in Information Sciences, provided in 108 universities in China. There were clarified the EP peculiarities: about 40% of them are programs dedicated to Information Management and Information Systems (Program in Information Management & Information Systems); 35% — EP in Library Science (Program in Library Science); 31.5% — EP in Archive Science (Program in Archive Science). In terms of content, most EPs are interdisciplinary, which is due to the national information infrastructure digitalization and the focus of its components to support the basic technological processes of the information management life cycle. It is established that Chinese universities adhere to the IFLA Guidelines for Professional Library and Information Science (LIS) Educational Programs. The scientific topicality.

The Impact

Introduction. Currently, there are numerous discussions concerning a relevant issue – the impact of transformations of the higher education system on the quality of graduates of technical universities. It is important to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of modern higher education in construction in comparison with one of the Soviet period and to define the direction it should be developed in the future. The present article analyzes the changes that higher education in construction has undergone since 1955 to the present time. Materials and methods. The data used in the analysis include regulatory documents which regulated the implementation of educational activities in different years: orders, classifiers, model curricula and state educational standards. The requirements to the structure and results of the study of educational programs in the field of construction were analyzed. Results. The analysis showed that over the past decades, higher education in construction has undergone significant changes. Fundamental transformations took place at the turn of the millennium when changing from a disciplinary to a competence model of education, as well as from direct government management of the education system to the normative legal regulation of educational activities. If in Soviet times, training was delivered under model curricula of construction specialties, now training is mainly performed according to Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs, the content of which educational institutions determine independently on the basis of educational standards. Conclusions. The performed analysis identified the deficiencies in the modern system of higher education. The imperfection of the regulatory framework, the deficiencies of the competence approach make it impossible to ensure quality training of specialists in the construction industry. This involves improvement of higher education system, including in the field of construction. It is necessary to establish more detailed requirements to the study results and the content of educational programs. It requires among educational standards, exemplary basic educational programs.

The knowledge management (KM) has become an important guideline for the Information and Knowledge Society, as well as for libraries. Thus, this article presents a literature review using a systematic approach, with the proposition of identifying trends and applications of knowledge management in the areas of Information Science and/or Library Science. It has been noticed that there are differences between the concepts of information management and knowledge management characterized as barriers to the implementation of KM. Libraries have often developed KM activities (especially regarding the sharing of knowledge, through Web 2.0 features). The uses currently applied are related to the use of blogs, wiki tools, shared classification systems (tagging), social networks, among others. But in some cases, the libraries are not properly aware of their work. It is necessary that they make KM a part of their routines and think of it in a systematic way, in order to channel resources, planning, among other things, and benefit from the improvements that can be achieved through KM, perfecting their services and satisfying their users.

Study Results

The research presents the analysis of the study results, related to the problem of information overload of 15‒20-year-old modern youth studying in colleges are located in small towns. Taking into account the results of the survey and the analysis of the sources, the main reasons of students’ information overload have been identified in the article.The second main reasons are defined: the lack of career guidance for young people who study in colleges, the shortage of systematics in the use of gadgets, the disproportionate number of various disciplines in the curricular of the institutions of professional pre-higher education. An analysis of the emergence of the term “information overload” and the views of the scientists at the forefront of the problem have been carried out. It is determined that in terms of the information society, the idea of effective nobility, the formation of information culture, and information literacy of the people are very important for modern science.Practical techniques are particularly relevant in this context, which allow higher education institutions to form skills in children and youth to search for useful information, critically assess it and apply for people and society.In order to ensure the level of informational overload of students, a number of preventive measurements have been suggested. These measurements are appropriate for the state in general and for the young people in particular, such as: reducing the amount of general training in favor of greater professional orientation of educational programs in colleges; introduction of educational courses aimed at the formation of competencies in work with information in educational programs of training in institutions of professional higher education; providing the availability of programs for self-realization of adolescents and young people in their free time, etc.This will allow the young person to develop the ability to set the priority goals that require compliance with the order of their actions, to form skills to work with various types of information, especially with the Internet and social networks, as well as the ability to dose time to work with gadgets. Keywords: information, information overload, college, professional training, student, youth, professional pre-higher education, modern person.
