Abstract
The author reviews the history of Russian central sci-tech library in 1918-1919. During this period, the library was called The State Scientific Technical and Economic Library (SSTEL) and was part of the Sci-tech Department of the Supreme Council of National Economy of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Further, in 1927-1958, this largest library organization was called The State Scientific Library. It became the foundation to the Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology and State Public Scientific & Technological Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch.The author analyzes the pool of the government and departmental solutions that laid the basis for the Library; he also describes organization process, and reviews personal contributions of librarians to the initial library organization and collection development. He characterizes the first SSTEL leaders and librarians (M.L. Milshtein, Karl F. Gessel, Nikolay N. Orlov). In particular, he emphasizes the outstanding contribution by Nikolay P. Gorbunov (former assistant to Vladimir Lenin, later an academic).At the initial stages, two well-stocked public libraries were merged into SSTEL, namely the Society for Advancement of Experimental Sciences and Their Practical Applications named by H.S. Ledentsov (and its specialized library building) and Moscow Technical Library of the Polytechnic Society.The author concludes that the efforts of librarians and scholars in the Supreme Council of National Economy made it possible to establish the central national sci-tech library and get it off the ground during the hardest years of the Civil War.
本文回顾了1918-1919年俄罗斯中央科技图书馆的历史。在此期间,该图书馆被称为国家科学技术和经济图书馆(SSTEL),是俄罗斯苏维埃联邦社会主义共和国国民经济最高委员会科技部的一部分。此外,在1927-1958年,这个最大的图书馆组织被称为国家科学图书馆。它成为俄罗斯国家科学技术公共图书馆和俄罗斯科学院西伯利亚分院国家公共科学技术图书馆的基础。笔者分析了政府部门池化的解决方案,为图书馆的池化奠定了基础;他还描述了组织过程,并回顾了图书馆员对初始图书馆组织和馆藏发展的个人贡献。他描述了SSTEL的第一批领导和图书馆员(M.L. Milshtein, Karl F. Gessel, Nikolay N. Orlov)。他特别强调了尼古拉·p·戈尔布诺夫(Nikolay P. Gorbunov,列宁的前助手,后来成为学者)的杰出贡献。在最初阶段,两个藏书丰富的公共图书馆合并为SSTEL,即由H.S. leentsov命名的实验科学及其实际应用促进协会(及其专门的图书馆大楼)和莫斯科理工学院技术图书馆。作者认为,正是由于国民经济最高委员会图书馆员和学者们的努力,才有可能在南北战争最艰难的岁月里建立起国家中央科技图书馆并使之起步。
