Н. Ф. Плотникова The authors discuss the radical changes in the development strategy of the modern academic library in the digital transformation era. The KFU Scientific Library addresses these changes in the context of The Priority-2030 Project. The academic library’s strategy for the nearest future is described and characterized in detail. In their study, the authors substantiate the need for librarian personal growth and professional development to obtain relevant competences. The role of the proprietary e-library (repository) is emphasized. The authors specify skills essential for working with the repository, analyze the survey findings which reveal the users’ requirements to library retrieval systems. They also describe the KFU software complex intended for developing institutional repository based on the open-source DSpace platform. The authors conclude that transformation of academic libraries is relevant to the general trends both in academic research and education. Large-scale implementation of digital technologies, from developing proprietary digital archives (repositories) and search systems to professional development programs development for users, students and faculty, challenges the KFU Library today.
