Abstrakt

This paper examines the competencies required by librarians for the effective implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) services within Ukrainian libraries. The author argues that technological, analytical, cultural-educational, communicative, service-oriented, ethical, and prognostic skills form the foundation for the modernisation of library practices. These competencies are essential for delivering personalised services, fostering interactive community engagement, and promoting library activities within the digital environment. The key challenges for contemporary librarianship in Ukraine include a psychological resistance to AI adoption, insufficient staff training, funding constraints, and the imperative to standardise library processes. The author identifies that overcoming these challenges requires the organisation of systematic professional development, the introduction of interdisciplinary educational programmes for librarians, enhanced international cooperation, and the integration of libraries into global information networks.
