Global transformations of the modern society have conditioned significant changes in the ways information is created, processed, and stored, resulting in the emergence of new generations of information consumers. Developing effective systems to meet their needs is one of the most pressing challenges facing libraries today. Modeling is an effective tool for solving it. Modeling methods allow integration of empirical and theoretical approaches in library research, combining experimentation with building logical constructs and scientific abstractions.

The digital transformation of the library industry entails intensive integration of artificial intelligence (AI), with the focus on neural information retrieval (or neural search), based on artificial neural networks (ANN). Neural search (NS) unlocks new opportunities for enhancing the efficiency of library and information services (LIS), providing more accurate, faster, and personalized access to knowledge in digital libraries (DL). The application of NS transforms the paradigm of library and information services (LIS), changes the user – content interaction.
