MICROSOFT ACCESS TECHNOLOGY AS A SOURCE OF WORK WITH, IN THE PREPARATION OF RESEARCH SUBJECTS AND INTERACTION MANAGEMENT SCIENCE

The article considers a problem concerning technique of working with sources in process of creating a qualifying work. It asserts that one of the methods can be Microsoft Access. The article presents a database developed in this environment, providing work with sources for students and graduates. The database consists of two related tables; the former contains information about the source: the title, author, and input data. The latter represents information about the source: the quotation number, the name of the chapter and section, and the text of the quotation per se. Consequently, the source processing consists in its entering in the database and selecting required quotations for further work. This work arrangement makes it possible to obtain information on any of the existing tables. In particular, it is possible to obtain information about all the authors, whom the qualifying work referred to. However, the opportunity of obtaining all the list of citations within the work is the most important thing. Working on the paragraph, a graduate student can use the citations where they are appropriate. Creation of tables-references makes easy to enter the data. Input and output information was organized in a uniform mode that facilitated database operating. It is particularly important that the process of creating such a database does not require special knowledge on computer programming, thereby, it is available to any skilled user of personal computers. Thus, a graduate or a student should not seek necessary citations and sources where he has saved them. A unified center of sources reduces the chance of losing important information and the process of a qualification work creation is facilitated. The paper also considers the problem of special software providing for graduate students. It emphasizes the necessity of software complex development encouraging research papers creation. This complex is supposed to include optimization of graduates’ works at different stages and their work with sources. The proposed database has been tested by the author for over 10 years on many graduates. It has received a great many of good responses. The graduates certified that using the database essentially facilitates the research process. Besides the main function, the database can optimize the interaction between supervisors and their and facilitate supervisors’ control over the graduates’ work process.
