Preservation of the results of scientific, pedagogical and research experience in RUDN University information products

Problem statement. The educational and scientific status of universities is largely reflected in the results of the publication activities of teachers, researchers, and students. Therefore, one of the tasks of university libraries (information and library centers) is to collect all materials created at the university, organize a system for storing and systematizing information, and publicly disseminate information for further use. Universities create special information products of their own generation to preserve the results of their activities, and this work is currently being implemented using innovative technologies. The creation of its own information databases allows for the active use of these products in educational and scientific activities. The principles of open science, particularly open access, contribute to the rapid dissemination of pedagogical expertise, research solutions, and technological developments outside the university. The issue of preserving the development of a specific university is not new, but what is important now is the openness and the ability to freely use materials by all participants in the educational process in order to promote and enrich the scientific and pedagogical experience in the country. Methodology. The study is based on the results of an analysis of information products created in recent years in a specific organization, taking into account the library’s previous historical experience and relying on empirical studies of similar developments published in articles over the past few years. Results. The practical information is provided on the creation of information databases by the scientific library, taking into account the needs of the university, higher education institutions, and other stakeholders. A comparative analysis of approaches and technologies for creating comprehensive information products has been conducted, taking into account trends in education, digital transformation, and the digitalization of the library industry and educational environment. Among the significant results, it is worth noting the availability of information products in the public domain and their potential use for a range of disciplines in various fields of study. Conclusion. Publications and developments created at Russian universities and presented in the open access contribute to the development of the education system, the promotion of the results of intellectual activity, the development of the open science movement, the active use of content, and also draw attention to the idea of creating new information products with scientific and educational content for use by participants in the educational process in the Russian Federation and other countries.
