The relationship of these basic vectors of development of the industry has not actually been the subject of special consideration. The article is an experience of system analysis of innovative practices of Russian libraries in the context of modernization as a global process of transformation of social development. The concept of \"modernization of librarianship\" is defined as a complex process that includes not only the computerization of the industry, but also its socio-cultural, institutional, managerial, functional and organizational transformations. The features of the initial stage of transition of domestic libraries to the path of modernization are characterized. It is noted that in accordance with the General trends of modernization, the domestic library business at the turn of the Millennium moved from linear progress, i. e. extensive development path to intensive, providing for qualitative transformations of the industry. The article presents external and internal modernization factors that influenced the innovative changes in the industry. The main trends in the development of library innovations are highlighted, which have enriched the implementation of the basic social functions of libraries in terms of content and technology: information, memorial, educational, cultural and educational, social and communicative. The article highlights the main trends in the development of innovations that affected the basic social functions of libraries: information, memorial, educational, cultural and educational, social and communicative. The article analyzes the socio-targets, tools and content of functional transformations of libraries. It is concluded that modernization, as the general vector of the development of the industry, is the main stimulus for library innovations, which, in turn, are its practical implementation in the processes of functioning of libraries.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75905129","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}

Over a century, the Russian Book Chamber has been such center (in USSR, later in the Russian Federation). It acted as an independent organization until 2014. From 2014 till September 2022, it was affiliated with ITAR-TASS news agency. Today, the Russian Book Chamber is part of the Russian State Library while keeping its traditional functions in bibliographic and statistical control of national publishing products. The authors examine the key problems of these activities caused by retarding federal legislation on mandatory copies against the real-life publishing situation and information needs of our society and government. The number of publishers, though not professional, but some sort of “amateur” ones, is trending upwards, while the circulation of Russian book publications is decreasing year on year. The authors propose to optimize legislation support of publishing through control of publications by academic book publications and periodicals, as well as by those “printed on demand”; through decrease and differentiation of the federal MC sets, re-distribution of these sets for the sake of out-of-the capital library depositories, and timely editing of terminology and obsolescent articles in the law on mandatory copies.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91224428","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 author applies the methods of comparative analysis and synthesis. The research is based on published and unpublished materials: documents in the State Archive of Smolensk Region; Rare Collection of Smolensk University Library; and scholarly papers. The author writes about the librarians who worked for the Library in 1918–1922, and its first director, privat-dozent I. E. Egorov. She also analyzes the history of the book collection development during the campaign of 1918–1921 in Smolensk Guberniya when the landed property and many manorial libraries were nationalized. She describes nationalized private collections in the Rare Collection of Smolensk University Library, and individual books from academic, public, scientific, estate, commercial, departmental, military and confessional libraries of prerevolutionary Smolensk. The role of Smolensk University Library as the richest book depository of the region and the value of its rare collections are emphasized. The vectors of the academic library activities of the above are explored. The research findings will contribute to the discipline “Library history” studied in the library higher schools and will be useful for modern academic libraries.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"13 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78268768","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}

Vernadsky (1863–1945), whose 160-th anniversary we celebrate this year, and Nikolay A. (Nikolas) Rubakin (1862–1946), whose 160-th anniversary we celebrated last year, were both library workers and bibliographers. They both entered St. Petersburg Imperial University, the department for natural sciences of physics and mathemetics faculty, communicated closely when students, and maintained friends and scientific ties up to 1936. The cosmological and cosmographic ideas of Dmitry I. Mendeleev, their teacher, influenced them both. Like N. Rubakin, V. I. Vernadsky saw selfless service to the humankind as his supreme goal. In his studiesw of psychology, Rubakin came to the conclusion that human life passes at three levels, namely biological, social, and cosmical level. In his turn, Vladimir Vernadsky is among acknowledged adept of Russian cosmism and father of the teaching of noosphere. The humanitarian trend in Venradsky’s world outlook manifested as early in his life as did his interest in the natural sciences. He developed his strong humanist, social ethical ideals in his early years as the scientist and thinker. These two persons were both engaged in bibliographic work, synchronically for some period. Vladimir Vernadsky was among the founders of Moscow Commission for Home Reading of the Educational Department of the Society to Promote Technical Knowledge (1893); Nikolas Rubakin was a founder of the Department to Support Self-education at Petersburg Pedagogical Museum of Military Educational Institutions (1894). They both took the most active part in writing bibliographies of general and supplementary literature within the curricula of the two institutions. Vernadsky and Rubakin had their original attitude towards library work in the country. V. Vernadsky sent regularly scientific books and journals to Rubakin in Switzerland. Rubakin came into contact with Georgy, V. Vernadsky’s son, who was living in the U.S.Almost Vernadsky’s every scientific achievement and social merits were acknowledged officially, unlike N. Rubakin who had no academic honors at all.

Further, unlike foreign universities, Russian higher educational institutions almost never develop their own repositories though have strong potential to do so.","PeriodicalId":42851,"journal":{"name":"Nauchnye i Tekhnicheskie Biblioteki-Scientific and Technical Libraries","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72741545","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}
