The evidence is provided that information about services is often scattered across different website headings and subheadings, and there are no hyperlinks between them. The biased nature of structuring classifications of services, that are not comparable one with another and often confusing, is also emphasized.The barriers that prevent the prompt search for information about library services on official websites are specified: i. e. the absence of “Services” heading linking users to the entire range of library services, scattered information about services under different headings with no hyperlinks, lacking rubricated lists of services and price lists, irrelevant prices, etc.The authors suggest that one of the most promising areas of theoretical research is the development of linguistic tools that enable structuring and ordering of information about services, in particular, building rubricators of charged and free services, designing “aspect grids” to allow formalization and uniformness of characteristics of the most important headings on the official websites; and building unified lists of normalized lexical units for wording of headings on the library websites.The need for unified approaches to presenting the results of the activities of the central libraries of the subjects of the Russian Federation in providing services to users (in particular, remote ones) on official websites is substantiated.The authors argue that it is the standardized diversification that will allow the services to be adequately positioned on the official websites of libraries. This will enable to provide full representation of multiaspect library activities, to increase library competitiveness and to ensure the growth in the number of physical visits and online users.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73166785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monograph is prepared by three national libraries – the Russian State Library, the National Library of Russia and the Presidential Library named after B. N. Yeltsin. The first edition has already won a high a ppraisal in the professional scientific media. The author of the review shares the assessment, moreover, he emphasizes that the monograph testifies to the ability of the national libraries to collaborate without duplication, each relying on its background and historical traditions. At the same time, scientific gaps have now become more visible. It is important to involve scientific research conducted by other federal libraries, regardless their departmental subordination, as well as by the higher educational institutions training library professionals. The author points out the absence of the unified scientific policy of research studies, equally important for the library science, bibliography and book science, and the entire branch of book and library science. In particular, it is vitally important to define the relations between the concepts of “library science” and “general library science”; to articulate the concepts of “private library science”, “special library science”, and “electronic library science”; to identify the place of library science, bibliography and book studies in the system of sciences and thus to contribute to the state recognition of the value of our scientific disciplines; to bring the national standards in the field of library activity in line with the Federal Law “On Librarianship”; to specify the actual purpose of library work, to elaborate the criteria for library document value; to develop the theory and methodology for identifying information needs, etc.The publication of the monograph is an extraordinary event in our scientific community that expects such comprehensive publications for the future.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74757480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the verification (late Latin verificatio – evidence, confirmation, from the Latin verus – true and facio – to make) of upgrade solutions is an essential part of classification system operation and development. The problem of library classification verification is often out of researchers view. The verification mechanism (tools) for upgrade solutions has not been described yet. Therefore, the reliability and relevance of classification upgrade solutions is of scientific and practical value.The purpose of the paper is to summarize the related experience of Research LBC Center of the Russian State Library. Based on s tructured system analysis and the long practice of LBC development and application, the authors examine the mechanism for monitoring publications and identifying innovations, including new terms, concepts, social phenomena, etc., and for assessing and processing data for continuing update of the classification system. Using the example of LBC modernization solutions, the authors discuss advantages and disadvantages of individual methods. They conclude that the classification upgrade verification – essential to the nature of the library classification systems – has to become the key element of the classifying culture. The researchers review and suggest the ways to improve the verification mechanism adopted at the RSL LBC Research Center. The integrated approach to LBC verification is of applied relevance both for the theory of classifications and librarianship.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75690376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on her theoretical studies, the author suggests updated definitions of: “the library” scientific category, the concepts of “the library as a social institution”, “personal library” and “the library as an organization; as only “the library as a social institution” is subject to regulation by normative documents. Differentiation of “the library” scientific concept into specific ones makes the foundation for formulating different definitions for the professionals and national standards.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"42 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78218519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical basis of the study is the provisions that consider the inscription as a historical, cultural and sociocultural phenomenon that reflects both personal and public relations. The main research methods are the structural and content analysis of dedicatory inscriptions and the analysis of open biographical data about their authors and addressee.It is shown that the features of the professional environment are revealed in the inscriptions through: 1) its complex structure; 2) references to the subject of professional discussion or the content of the presented book; 3) indications of the date and place of a specific event or circumstances. The analysis of the institutional affiliation of the authors evidences that the members of Trofimenko’s professional environment were highly qualified professionals who headed and represented government, business and public institutions.
