This article argues that moving beyond tool-centric instruction to establish a foundational set of integrated information technology competencies is critical for preparing future librarians. It posits that this foundation must encompass four interconnected domains: information architecture and data management, including metadata schemas and database fundamentals; digital content creation and preservation principles; systems literacy for managing and evaluating library technologies; and a critical understanding of digital ethics, privacy, and cybersecurity. The article further contends that effectively embedding these competencies requires a pedagogical shift from isolated courses to a curriculum-wide, concept-driven approach that frames technology as an intrinsic dimension of all library practice. The ultimate aim is to cultivate professionals capable of critically shaping library services and upholding core institutional values within a complex, evolving technological ecosystem.

According to the results obtained, it was found that the Manzur lemon variety has a high advantage over the control in all vegetative indicators. In particular, its leaf level was 1.5-1.9 times larger, and the final length of its branches was 2 times higher. This indicates that the Manzur variety has high vegetative potential, is fast-growing and is a promising variety for cultivation in local conditions.
