Possibilities of Popular (Recommendation) Online Bibliography in the Promotion of Reading

The authors consider the possibilities of popular (recommendation) online bibliography in promoting young people’s reading. Basing on the analysis of the modern socio-cultural situation characterized by the rapid growth of digital interaction, the article raises the problem of fast and qualitative orientation in the increasing flow of information. The authors conclude that the real tool of information and bibliographic search for everyone can be online electronic bibliographic resources of libraries.

There is insufficient information on the use of these resources by modern young people. There was conducted study in 2018 to obtain data on reader preferences and the bibliographic sources to which they mainly refer. Students of the Moscow City Pedagogical University attended it. The sample group consisted of 43 people. The authors assumed that modern young people are focused primarily on obtaining information on the Internet, while they have a need for competent assistance to find and select the right publications. Respondents got the questionnaire compiled of 13 questions. The processing of the survey results consisted of their qualitative and quantitative analysis. In accordance with the set tasks, the study was carried out in the following areas: analysis of sources of information about books and publications used by modern youth, study of inquiries to information resources of libraries, identification of satisfaction with the quality of bibliographic information. The results of the study showed that the respondents prefer to find complete, accessible and up-to-date information about books and publications, as well as the publications themselves, on the Internet. The most valuable and preferred is the bibliographic information provided in electronic form. At the same time, many respondents are not satisfied with their own search for the necessary and high-quality publications both in the libraries and on the Internet. The authors present the possibilities of network resources of popular (recommendation) bibliography as a navigator in fast and efficient search and selection of the necessary publications.
