Abstract

The paper discusses the changes in the structure and condition of scientific and educational information resources that have been made available by Russian agricultural universities in the Internet space during the pandemic in terms of emerging new digital tools in the educational process. We have also monitored the impact of the "social order" requiring to create a structured information Internet space for these resources that plays a triune role: supporting the scientific research; raising the education level (sometimes, trough retraining) for all population segments; an efficient system of transferring scientific and educational knowledge to the economy by providing an unrestricted access to this knowledge not only for traditional users represented by researchers, students and teachers, but also for future applicants, employers, public authorities, manufacturers, businesses, managers and other categories of population. To monitor this process, we have developed the relevant method for surveying universities’ websites. Our analysis of the results of this survey in 2021 and in 2013, 2016 confirmed our assumption that the pandemic will cause the emergence of new digital tools but only in the field of online learning and publication activity, which are aimed solely at the internal audience of universities through closing such resources by adding passwords for accessing them by other interested users. At the same time, the digital tools being introduced are ontologically unrelated to each other; they duplicate the content, which leads to significant financial costs for universities and the state, thus postponing the future creation of some structured information Internet space for scientific and educational resources.
