In an extremely interesting, informative, productive and practically oriented atmosphere, Valentyna Volodymyrivna taught those receiving higher education the skills of applying knowledge in practice, the ability to plan and allocate time, work independently, make decisions, analyse, and compare the information received with other sources. During the conversation, the lecturer also provided young people with practical advice on how to develop research skills and the basic knowledge necessary for mastering academic disciplines.
It is worth mentioning that this thematic lecture was also the first acquaintance of first-year students with the activities of the State Archives of the Poltava Region, which caused positive emotions and stimulated the cognitive interest of Poltava Polytechnic students.

The future professionals will also have a unique opportunity to undergo library and archive practice at the main archival institution of the Poltava region.
According to the scientists of the Department of the Ukrainian Studies, Culture and Documentation of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic”, the necessity of studying the discipline “Records Management” by the students of the university is caused by the content of practical training in the field of information, librarianship and archiving activities of future employees, taking into account the need for highly qualified specialists with modern knowledge of the theory and skills of information documentation and work with documents.
