By the end of 2020, all universities in Kazakhstan received a gift from the state of 100 titles of textbooks under the project «New Humanitarian Education. 100 new textbooks in the Kazakh language». Previously, this project had no analogues. These are, translated into the Kazakh language, the best textbooks in the world on philosophy, sociology, psychology, religious studies, management, economics, innovation, media, etc.All this educational literature is actively introduced into the educational process by the teachers of our Karaganda Industrial University.But, I would especially like to dwell on the textbooks on art, which are also included in this project. There are more than 15 of them. This is a unique literature on the history and philosophy of art, film studies, theater studies, musicology and television.It is clear that creative disciplines are not taught in technical universities. But, nevertheless, these books did not go unnoticed by the readers of the KarIU Scientific Library. The content of these books can be useful for students of all specialties. After all, art is a standard of beauty, a moral guideline and a way of self-expression. Communication with art encourages a person to create their own. Spiritual communication does not pass without a trace, since literature, especially literature on art, teaches us to live according to the laws of beauty, goodness and justice.

The task of higher education is not only to acquire professional skills and knowledge, but to develop the moral and spiritual growth of the younger generation. It is for this purpose that the staff of the Scientific Library made a special selection on art from the project «100 best textbooks in the Kazakh language» for students and teachers.

It is gratifying to note that this art literature did not go unnoticed. She grabs the attention of readers. Students are interested, take books home, share their impressions of what they have read with friends. It cannot be denied that in the third millennium a new generation of young people entered life with fundamentally different personality traits, value attitudes, and life guidelines. Nevertheless, it can be noted with confidence that modern students have not lost their craving for beauty, which means that they will become well-mannered, kind and decent people.
