Abstract: The study analyses data from 359 information studies and librarianship students, assessing their digital competencies using DigComp through a self-assessment questionnaire. It compares competencies at the beginning and end of a course, showing a gradual positive impact on improvement. Programming remains the weakest skill in the long term. The research highlights a course transformation to enhance overall competencies and achieve balanced progress among students across different digital skill areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
