It arose and evolved in the 2000s, in line with the introduction of the Bologna system in the higher library education in Russia. The normative framework for regulating training for Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the field of library and information activities was consistently developed in the form of Federal State standards of higher professional education of the first, second and third generations, model educational programs for the library Master’s degree. The comparison of the mandatory part of the curricula for the preparation of masters of library and information activities in the leading specialized universities showed the existing significant discrepancies in the composition, number, volume of credits and sequence of disciplines taught.
