On 26.01.2017 the regional interuniversity scientific and practical seminar "Professional competencies of librarians in the age of media reality: media culture and copyright issues" took place in Dnipro. The organizer of the event is the scientific and technical library of the Dnipropetrovsk National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan.
The seminar began with the presentation "Media and media reality" in which Kolesnykova T.O. (Director of STL of DNURT, PhD in Social Communications, Senior Scientist) highlighted common issues concerning the nature of modern media and the existence of librarians in the age of media reality. Two reports by Kartuzov K. (Deputy Director of Nikolaev Scientific and Pedagogical Library, Nikolaev)  were very interesting: "Media Culture of a Librarian" and "The Law of Ukraine "On Copyright and Related Rights": Library Context". Attendees of the seminar (54 librarians from different cities of Dnipro region) were actively involved in the proposed by K. Kartuzov "free microphone" format during the report.
Analysis of the specific work situations, explanation of terms, solving riddles, solution of logical problems, proof of the necessity of critical thinking when working as a librarian in the media environment – this is non-exhaustive list of issues that were presented by speakers of the seminar.

We thank K. Kartuzov for coming to Dnipro and the opportunity to improve own competencies by university librarians.
