The dissertation is devoted to the identification of the main system-forming elements, which in the relationship and mutual influence form the innovative media space of the modern library and to justify the conceptual model of the innovative media space of the library based on them.
The innovative media space of a modern library is a collection of technical and technological and software tools of library activity, formed in the process of digital transformations of the library, aimed at meeting the informational and social-communicative needs of citizens, determined by their professional and public activities, education, leisure, daily life, tasks of personal growth and communication.
Socio-communicative practices of libraries in the conditions of digitalization are conscious and expedient activities aimed at satisfying the informational, socio-cultural needs of citizens, their social interests, which leads to the improvement of the socio-cultural living conditions of citizens in the conditions of digital transformations of society.
The content of social and communicative practices of libraries using digital technologies is in line with innovative information, educational and leisure services, characterized by a variety of forms and methods of activity and the relevant use of digital technologies for its implementation.
A necessary condition for the formation of librarians' readiness to carry out transformations is professional communication and the presentation and dissemination of best practices of innovative activity.
Generalization and dissemination of innovative experience of library activity is carried out both through formal communications (publications, information and resource support), and informal professional communications. These professional communication processes complement each other.
The formation of the library's innovative media space requires the relevant competencies of a library specialist, which is a complex phenomenon that is not limited to the acquisition of elementary digital literacy skills and requires a systematic approach.
