The paper shows that the main limit to the growth of "digitalization" in the XXI century may be not so much the limits of technology development, but rather the difficulties with staffing such a knowledge-intensive process as digital development. This problem is mainly associated with a decrease in the rate of growth of the World's population, which is determined by other social, economic, and factors. The personnel problem of the development of the digital economy is based on the need to maintain the number of researchers and the intensity of solving the problems of economic and social development through the creation and implementation of digital technologies. Solving this problem in the coming decades may face a chronic shortage of specialists to implement the most ambitious plans.

The article deals with the basic concepts and tendencies of the digital economy. The current state of the digital economy and prospects for its development in Ukraine are analyzed. It is proposed to consider the digital economy development as an element of the social development strategy. The research methodology includes neo-institutional and systemic approaches, as well as analysis of statistics and data from social studies. The work concerns equally the theoretical and applied aspects of the topic. The paper is based on secondary data that has been collected from the official statistics, the Internet, science articles, interviews, papers, etc. The analysis results indicate a relatively unfavorable situation in Ukraine. The digital economy development entails dramatic changes in social relations. These processes include both risks (the market is being restructured in a new way, leading to challenges related to jobs, skills, security and privacy), as well as prospects (stimulating innovation, increasing governance efficiency, improving service delivery, inclusion and sustainable economic growth, the well-being of citizens, countries and society). The society and the state should be properly prepared for such changes. Therefore, the digital economy development in terms of public administration should be seen as an element of a social development strategy that requires proper scientific and expert substantiation. The concept of digital economy development in Ukraine envisages several measures aimed at addressing digital gap (from digital jobs to digital initiatives in the modern world, conducting digitalization of industry and business, defining basic digital services, preparing educational modernization measures, as well as forecasting digital development in Ukraine until 2020). On January 17, 2018, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the Concept for the Development of the Digital Economy and Society of Ukraine for 2018-2020 and a plan of measures for its implementation. The document emphasizes that the path to the digital economy and digital society of Ukraine lies through the domestic product market, use and consumption of information and communication or digital technologies. The digital economy development is a set of mechanisms, motivation factors, and incentives for the implementation of digital technologies, and, therefore, a branched digital infrastructure for harnessing the state's capabilities, enhancing its competitiveness, and increasing the well-being of citizens. Currently, Ukrainian market of information products and services is at the stage of formation. The market of information products consists of technical and technological components (modern information equipment, powerful computers, advanced computer network and related information processing technologies, which enables to work on the global computer network Internet, search information, customers, goods, hypertext management technology, e-mail); regulatory and legal components (the legal basis for regulating the information market); organizational components (elements of state regulation of interaction between producers and distributors of information products and services). At the same time, the tasks of identifying specific practical legal, regulatory (organizational), economic and financial infrastructural mechanisms for the development of the «digital society» that would facilitate the rapid growth of the digital economy remain unresolved.

This chapter examines the transformation of the physical library into a digital-oriented library environment. Space is regarded as an important feature of the physical library because the quantity of materials that can exist in the physical library is usually determined with regards to space. However, the emergence of digital technologies in the 21st century brought about the notion of digital-oriented library environment, in which a number of materials such as books, articles, and other print-based material can be converted to digital formats such as e-books, PDFs, and multimedia files which could be further stored on digital devices or uploaded online for users to access conveniently. The creation of the digital-oriented library environment has the capability of enabling librarians with innovative skills in order to meet the immediate information needs of library users. Therefore, librarians are required to understand their new roles in the 21st century and work towards creating a digital-oriented library environment.

In the 21st century, we talk of knowledge as the new currency, and knowledge building as the work to be done in learning organizations. While knowledge building is activity directed outward towards the creation of knowledge itself, learning is a personal consequence of this process, the aspect that is directed to enhancing individual abilities and dispositions. This chapter considers how ePortfolios can support four aspects of lifelong learning in the knowledge economy: engagement with technology, representations of identity, developing critical multiliteracies, and global and local mobility. It argues that the focus should be on lifelong learners’ capacity to create and communicate with digital technologies, rather than on rigid frameworks that reduce ePortfolio development to a series of pre-packaged choices.

The use of digital technologies in order to increase the efficiency of production processes, distribution and consumption of the results of economic activities, and their participation in the creation of fundamental innovative developments that allow reaching a high level of application of knowledge in the field of science and technological progress, is one of the modern economic models. The purpose of the study is to assess the factors that ensure the formation of the digital economy in Russia and develop proposals aimed at accelerating the introduction of digital technologies into the economy and social sphere. Among the factors determining the formation of the digital economy in Russia, it is necessary to highlight the following: the level of digital competency skills, the effectiveness of R&D and innovation activities, the level of development of information and communication infrastructure. As a result of the study, conclusions were drawn about the presence of the necessary prerequisites for accelerating the pace of digitalization of the Russian economy. An obstacle on this path is the lack of coordinated actions on the part of the state, business and the scientific community, the low readiness of the regulatory framework for high rates of technology development and the spread of digital solutions. In order to test the effectiveness of new developments, it seems reasonable to use digital “regulatory sandboxes”.
