The impact of library resource availability on the quality of training specialists in the field of humanities

this study is dedicated to examining the impact of library resource accessibility on the quality of training specialists in the humanities. The relevance of the topic is driven by the increasing role of information support in the higher education system and the need to identify effective ways to improve its quality. The aim of the work is to identify key factors of library infrastructure that determine the effectiveness of the educational process. During the research, methods of statistical analysis, surveys, and expert evaluations were used. The empirical basis consisted of data from 15 major universities in the country for the period of 2018-2022. It was found that the level of library collections' provision with academic literature has a strong positive correlation (r=0.78; p<0.01) with students' academic performance. It was shown that increasing library working hours by 20% contributes to a 15% average growth in faculty publication activity. A statistically significant relationship was identified between the number of available full-text databases and the percentage of graduates employed in their field within a year (?2=11.4; p<0.05). The results obtained have practical value for optimizing university information infrastructure and may serve as a foundation for further research in the field of education quality management. A promising direction appears to be the study of the economic aspects of library system development in the context of digital transformation.
