The regulatory documents – the Law on Information, Informatization and Information Protection, the Law on Librarianship, the Law on mandatory copies of documents, as well as state standards for information, library, bibliographic activities – make the significant foundation for the theory and practice.
The foundation, development and activities of the Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology (RNPLS&T) are examined in the historical aspect. The precedent events, the origins of the library and development from the initial library collections in science and technology in the early 20-th century are described.

The journal articles made the main bulk (74%) followed by the proceedings (20%). The dynamics demonstrates the upward trend though the growth rate is rather low.
The paper demonstrates the features of author and organizational publication profiles in Dimensions and Lens information systems. In recent years, these systems have been successfully competing with many subscription-based systems. The authors discuss the advantages of these databases in terms of coverage of research content in publication profiles as compared to that of commercial bibliographic platforms, as well as the wide range of functional capabilities.
