Traditional and Electronic Resources of Biobibliographic Information: Characteristics, Comparison, Significance
Abstract
The article highlights the theoretical and practical aspects of the formation of bibliographic resources in the context of modern information challenges. Attention is focused on the typology of bibliographic information sources: from traditional personal indexes to electronic platforms and databases. The features of creation, structure and functional purpose of bibliographic publications as sources of scientific and pedagogical research are considered. The state of terminology in the field of bibliography is analysed, the problems of duplication of concepts and lack of a unified approach to the definition of terms are identified. Attention is focused on the need for harmonisation of the terminology system, centralised coordination of bibliographic activities and improvement of the quality of content in the electronic environment.
The article presents the practical experience of the V. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Educational Library of Ukraine in preparing a series of bibliographic indexes, in particular, the publications of the series “Academicians of the NAES of Ukraine”, which are valuable not only as reference but also as scientific and analytical resources. The analytical potential of such resources at different stages of pedagogical research is revealed: search, analytical, bibliographic, scientometric. The importance of including DOI and hyperlinks in bibliographic records is emphasised. The author analyses modern electronic platforms (Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate, etc.) in terms of the effectiveness of integration of biographical and scientific data. The scheme of interaction between three key components - libraries, biobibliography and biography - in the context of researching a pedagogical figure is proposed. The advantages of traditional (printed) and electronic (digital) biobibliography resources are characterised.
The urgency of creating a unified national bibliographic resource that will meet the needs of the educational, scientific and information community of Ukraine in the context of open science is emphasised.
