Characteristics of the information provision
The University Library (UK) of the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) fulfills its mission mainly by building and making available the library and information fund and by providing comprehensive library and information services. Among the main services provided by UK TUKE to its clients are acquisition and loan services, consultation services in study rooms with publicly accessible PCs with anInternet connection, online catalogs of books, periodicals, and technical standards, access to scientific databases, online books, electronic journals, interlibrary loan services, central registration and creation of a database of TUKE publication activities, central registration of electronic final theses of TUKE students, seminars and training in library and IT education, ISBN agenda, publishing and printing services. The services of the publishing center also enable the creation of scientific publications even in the printing process. UK has built a modern library with a lot of new technologies, facilitating the work of students and employees of TUKE. It has secured 15 electronic databases for its clients. Searching for clients of the TUKE university network is ensured via the web portal of the UK digital library.

E-learning
Elearning is a system for managing the flow of education/knowledge that allows not only to sell knowledge but also to share it and monitor its development and get feedback on its effectiveness. E-learning represents the following functions: electronic processing of information, transfer of information using ICT to students, provision of services to students (e-service), distribution of products and services (DVD, Internet, etc.), management of the educational process (course administration). Ing. the MLD study program is accredited for face-to-face teaching in the full-time and external form, with the possible use of the University LMS MOODLE - managed at the Institute of Computing Technology, providing services to the faculties as well, plus the Faculty LMS MOODLE - managed by individual departments of the faculties, also for e-learning, according to needs students to achieve educational outcomes and TUKE management instructions, or faculties for the organization of education, e.g. in crisis situations (emergency situation, state of emergency, etc.). E-learning allows the use of most of the available information and communication tools, with which we can not only present the curriculum but also verify and test the course of the learning process. Great importance is attached to the inclusion of feedback elements in the form of various polls, polls, tests, and questionnaires checking the understanding and mastery of the subject matter. The own teaching text can be graphically structured, it can contain multimedia, i.e. audio and video files, problem tasks, solved and unsolved examples, self-tests, etc. LMS (Learning Management System) via the e-learning portal: https://moo
