The learners’ preferences as a criterion of distance learning technology efficiency in the librarians’ continuing education

In the context of librarians’ continuing education, the distance learning technologies have become increasingly demanded. New organizational and methodological solutions are needed and need themselves continuous updating in a fast-paced information and technological environment. The authors suggest using learners' preferences as a criterion of method efficiency. They discuss the findings of the survey of librarians who received training in 2023 within the professional development programs under the federal project “The creative people”. The 2023 survey findings were compared to that held in 2017. The dynamics of the preferences in the learning organization is discussed.
