The article is devoted to the analysis of the innovative and managerial potential of the project activities of scientific libraries, which is a complex and multi-component area of work. The author considers key aspects of the success of this activity: knowledge-competence, organizational and reflexive, physiological and psycho-emotional. The importance of conditions that contribute to the effectiveness of the project work of scientific libraries, such as planning, team organization, control and the use of modern technologies is shown. The author offers interpretations of the definitions of the sphere of project activities of scientific libraries, such as “project in a scientific library”, “design in a scientific library”, “project activities of scientific libraries”, “library project management”, as well as the characteristics, methods and tools most often used in the project activities of scientific libraries. Particular attention is paid to the role of libraries in creating an information infrastructure, supporting scientific activities and professional training of personnel. The article presents the results of a sociological study of specialists from scientific libraries of Belarus involved in the development and implementation of projects. Based on empirical data, the features of project activities in republican and university libraries are revealed, criteria and factors of success that confirm the benefits of effective use of methods and tools, and demonstrate the high potential of project activities of libraries and the possibilities of its further development, are identified. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in Belarusian library science, theoretical and organizational issues of project activities are comprehensively substantiated with the account of typological specificity of a scientific library, due to the etymological unity with science and education. The results obtained can be useful for developing strategies to improve the effectiveness of project activities in scientific libraries.
