The study goal is to specify the nomenclature of services types as presented at the library official websites. The authors characterize the library services as the subject of multi-aspect analysis and evaluation. They emphasize that the concept “library services” and “services by libraries” are not identical. The service economy affects diversification of services provided by the libraries.
The author explores the array of doctoral dissertations in the area of forest engineering, forestry technologies and machines, submitted in the period of 1955-2022 (190 dissertations). The bibliometrical analysis enabled to specify 5 time periods differing in their dynamics (1955–1962; 1963–1970; 1971–1989; 1990–1999; 2000–2022). Before 1993, there were two defense hubs, namely Moscow and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg); after 1993, regional hubs emerged. In 1993-2022, 68% dissertations were defended in the regions outside Moscow and St.
The author reviews the All-Russia Scientific Conference “The Seventh Grot Readings” held at Samara Regional Universal Scientific Library on November 17–18, 2022. Researchers of Ac. S. P. Korolev Samara National Research University acted as co-organizers and enthusiastic participants of the conference. The author discusses in brief the history of the Grot Readings and reviews the key topics. Since the first conference in 2008, it has become the significant event for Samara Region.
The author discusses use of cognitive management in libraries and examines the possibilities of artificial intellect (AI) technologies for library and information processes (LIP). The systemic functional method is used for the analysis. The article is based on the research work in the area of libraries digital transformation and will be of interest to library managers. The author examines the key vectors of cognitive management: а) library collection management and preservation; b) library bibliographic user services; and c) research in libraries.
The Library for Natural Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences embraces publications from the Library of German Chemical Society (Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker). The Library was established all at the same time as the Society, in 1867. The outstanding collection of chemical literature was being developed over decades. The Library was receiving books and journals from Russia owing to close ties between Russian, Soviet and German colleagues.
The open science initiatives, growing number of open resources (digital collections, institutional repositories, open educational resources, scientific data, etc.), changing user information needs and preferences hang like a sword of Damocles over the libraries and threaten with the absence of demand for science and education support. The purpose of the study is to identify librarians’ awareness of the world open access resources (OAR) and their role in developing library and information products and services.
Purpose. The authors analyze the trends in the national flow of book publications in science for the period 2012–2021 and its impact upon scientific library collections. Sources and methods . The study is based on the statistical data of large information systems, i.e. the Russian Book Chamber and scientific electronic library eLibrary.ru), and State Public Scientific and Technological Library of the Russian Academy Siberian Branch (RAS SB SPSTL). The data of the Higher School of Economics characterize scientific focuses of Russian researchers. Findings and conclusions .
