Science plays an important role in ensuring the society’s well-being and performs a number of functions, of which the most significant are to build new knowledge, improve education, and increase the quality of life. The new stage of science-society communications is characterized by the expansion of civil participation in planning, conducting and financing of scientific research. One of the main tasks of science communication is to increase scientific literacy (SL) of nonscientists. The documents analysis demonstrates that the developed countries pay special attention to scientific thinking and SL promotion, and all social institutions, including libraries, are engaged in appropriate activities. In recent decades, the study of the SL formation features has become a popular research topic worldwide. However, Russian library studies pay insufficient attention to the foreign experience in the field. The goal of this paper is to review and analyze English-language publications on “scientific literacy in libraries”. The author characterizes in detail such vectors of activities as development of popular science collections, participation of libraries in STEM education, and other practices of foreign libraries in teaching SL.

The paper goal is to define the role of media analytics in library research. The author characterizes the main types and methods of applied library research (sociological, library statistics, bibliometrics). As the media tools used in applied library studies are limited, the author discusses the potentialities of media analytics as a new and promising research vector. Monitoring of library media presence enables to assess the library’s communication PR policy, its ability to attract audience attention, and to demonstrate its potential and social role. The functionality of Medialogia computerized mass and social media monitoring system is discussed; the data formats, tools and library opportunities are examined. The media analytics methods, i. e. monitoring, statistical and infographical methods, as well as content analysis, are described. The author analyzes the results of search of RNPLS&T media hits in the period from May 30, 2021, to May 30, 2022. She concludes that the Library has been intensifying its media activity, and its PRperformance has been increasing. The author also offers the recommendations on upgrading this vector of activities and on how to enhance the role of media analytics in the applied library research.

The study goal is to specify the nomenclature of services types as presented at the library official websites. The authors characterize the library services as the subject of multi-aspect analysis and evaluation. They emphasize that the concept “library services” and “services by libraries” are not identical. The service economy affects diversification of services provided by the libraries. The authors complement the publications theoretical analysis with the findings of the largescale empirical study of services represented at the official websites of 77 central libraries of the RF constituent units (republican, regional territorial universal scientific libraries). The scale of diversification is demonstrated. The authors argue that the libraries have to undertake some unusual activities and to provide services foreign to their nature and social mission. The findings of the study demonstrate that services production in the libraries corresponds to 30 different types of professional activities. Many services provided by the libraries call for other than library, information, or bibliographic competences. Therefore, services quality assessment is needed; certification and licensing of the libraries providing them may be needed. The authors conclude that diversification as manifested in services inappropriate to the libraries is forced by the transfer to the market economy, development of service economy, and the focus on service-oriented government.

Educating of the culture of information needs of future specialists and teaching effective ways of how to meet them are among the urgent tasks of higher education. The goal of the paper is to characterize the status of research in the field of academic information needs. The author reviews the publications of 2015–2021, included into the Scopus and Web of Science databases. She characterizes the document flow, discusses the basic contexts of the studies, highlights the organizational and methodological aspects of research, and reveals the influence of the research base on the results of studying the hierarchy of student information needs. The relationship of and differences between the concept of academic information needs and the concept of information needs related to educational activities are demonstrated. The academic information needs are stipulated by the need to maintain academic performance, to adapt to academic work and future career, to overcome learning difficulties, to master learning methods, to get involved in student activities and academic life, to live on or off campus, and to participate in international programs, etc. The extrinsic factors affecting the formation, expression and satisfaction of academic information needs include: environment, area of study, the functions performed by the student and the timing for the assignment. The intrinsic factors are: level of education, previous experience, age, personal and physical characteristics, and level of motivation. The author argues that the specific character of academic information needs of older students is studied insufficiently. She also formulates the proposals on how to educate the culture of academic information needs.
培养未来专业人才的信息文化需求并教授满足这些需求的有效途径是高等教育的紧迫任务之一。本文的目的是描述学术信息需求领域的研究现状。作者回顾了Scopus和Web of Science数据库中2015-2021年的出版物。她描述了文件流程,讨论了研究的基本背景,强调了研究的组织和方法方面,并揭示了研究基础对学生信息需求层次研究结果的影响。论证了学术信息需求概念与教育活动相关信息需求概念之间的关系和差异。学术信息需求是由保持学习成绩的需要、适应学术工作和未来职业的需要、克服学习困难的需要、掌握学习方法的需要、参与学生活动和学术生活的需要、住在校内或校外的需要、参加国际项目的需要等来规定的。影响学术信息需求形成、表达和满足的外在因素包括:环境、学习领域、学生所履行的职能和作业时间。内在因素是:教育水平、以前的经验、年龄、个人和身体特征以及动机水平。笔者认为,目前对大龄学生学术信息需求的特殊性研究不够。她还就如何培养学术信息需求文化提出了建议。

The author explores the array of doctoral dissertations in the area of forest engineering, forestry technologies and machines, submitted in the period of 1955–2022 (190 dissertations). The bibliometrical analysis enabled to specify 5 time periods differing in their dynamics (1955–1962; 1963–1970; 1971–1989; 1990–1999; 2000–2022). Before 1993, there were two defense hubs, namely Moscow and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg); after 1993, regional hubs emerged. In 1993–2022, 68% dissertations were defended in the regions outside Moscow and St. Petersburg; 14% dissertations were defended in two disciplines. On average, 16 years were passing between scientist’s candidate and doctoral dissertations, however, since 1994, this difference may make less than 10 years – 24% papers in 2009–2022. In 1955–1982, the keywords “study”, “problems”, “basics” dominated in the titles, and since 1986 – “feasibility”, “increase”, and “improvement”. After 2006–2008, the number of titles including “feasibility” decreased, and the word combination “refining the theory (method)” became popular. Since 1986, the vector of studies changed from process and system studies toward their modernization and enhancement. Through classification by the research subject, 42 topical areas were specified, and then divided into two groups. Within the group one, the papers can be bundled (over 3 dissertations) and make subject fields where their own systematization is possible. In the group two, the dissertations make the individual studies (103 papers) that can hardly be consolidated into the array. Within several topical field, the cyclicism is observed – the dissertations are defended regularly. The content analysis of dissertation titles coupled with bibliometrical methods, reveals the more regular pattern within the individual specialty. The obtained findings will be demanded by researchers and professionals engaged in scientometrical and bibliometrical research.

Review of the joint monograph “Essays on bibliographic activity of the Russian State Library: A monograph” / Russian State Library ; ed. by G. L. Levin. Moscow : Pashkov dom, 2022. 734 p.The author reviews the joint monograph by the leading specialists of the Russian State Library (RSL). The article is publishedon the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the reference and information office as the division of the library of State Rumyantsev Museum in December 1918. The office rendered all types of bibliographic user services (e. g. address, subject, specifying bibliographic references). The reviewed monograph covers all the main fields of RSL’s bibliographic activity: development of reference library collection, reference and information services, building of all the main types of bibliographic directories, bibliographical information service in culture and arts, making of bibliographical indices of Russian emigration literature, research in theory of bibliography, etc. The choice of RSL bibliographic activity as the main object of study makes an appropriate contribution to the development of Russian theory of bibliography. The reviewer regards intensification of research activities of larger libraries (e. g. national) as an attribute of the modern theory of bibliography. The joint monograph is one of few large-scale research works covering the full range of the national library's bibliographic activities of the last century; therefore, it is of high value.

By the third decade of the 21st century, digital technologies have been integrated in every sphere of our lives. During the recent years, the modern trends in society, economics, technologies have become related to digital transformation. However, the definition for this concept is lacking. The author insists that implementing information technologies into institutional business process is the most essential note of digital transformation. He includes scientometrical indicators of the terms “digitalization” and “digital transformation” in the Russian Science Citation Index, reviews in brief the positive and negative aspects of these processes, and specifies the stages of digital evolution in the academic library. The experience of Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI) in computerization, digitalization and digital transformation of information library processes, is examined, i.e. implementation of e-catalog and computerized lending through bar-coding technology, free open access fulltext electronic library, development of information system in bibliographic history and works by university scientists and researchers, employees’ personal accounts, and adaptive system of library–chair book supply system. The systems enable to engage the faculty authors in updating the library’s e-catalog and to get information on the curriculum book supply. The author introduces his innovative business processes of preparing learning materials and research papers. These processes have been partially introduced in MADI to increase the faculty’s publication activity, to improve the university’s scientometrical indicators, and finally, to comply with the requirements of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The National Library Association “Libraries of the Future” (NALF) supported through the RF Presidential Grant for Civil Society Development approved by the Presidential Grants Foundation, has been implementing the All-Russian Scientific and Educational Project “The Kids Nobel”. The Project main goals are to promote scientific knowledge and to engage 7–8 grade students in urban and rural settlements in research. At this stage, four pilot RF subjects are selected, namely Arkhangelsk, Kaluga, Ryazan and Saratov regions. Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology, today the country’s largest sci-tech library, and a NALF founder, is the main partner of “The Kids Nobel”. The All-Russian Scientific Educational Project “The Kids Nobel” is accomplished in two vectors: educational webinars for children in the main fields of the Nobel Prize, i. e. physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature, politics (Nobel Peace Prize). Outstanding scientists, pedagogues, public officials, librarians deliver the lectures. The lecture course is followed by preparing and presenting students’ research works. The regional project curators, i. e. children’s school, universal, etc., libraries inform students on the events or use the course and workshop materials to organize their own events. The second vector is the contest of kids’ research projects in the fields of Nobel Prize. Under supervision of library curators, contest participants are to present their research work and findings through the Project website before July 1, 2023, one research work for a field, though several fields can be selected.

The author analyzes the dynamics of scientometrical indicators (publication activity, citation and impact) of Russian research in storytelling in 2012–2021. Storytelling is seen as the marketing technology used to deliver information to the audience through stories. In recent years, storytelling has been intensively used in advertising, social media, corporate blogging, and in education. The lines of research of the greatest impact are identified, among them: storytelling as an efficient communication technology, digital storytelling in students’ projects, and storytelling method in corporate management. In accordance with the Hirsch index, the Russian scholars’ research activity in the field exceeds significantly the world minimum value of 16. The dynamics of the above indicators is revealed, including the rare occurrence of continuous growth in the number of publications by the end of the existent period; the organization which storytelling studies are extensively used by country’s other institutions, are identified, among them Nizhny Novgorod Kozma Minin Pedagogical University, Ural State Pedagogical University, RF Ministry for Civil Defense Academy of State Fire-fighting Service. The analysis was accomplished based on Russian Science Citation Index (RISC) database. The illustrations are included to visualize the research findings.
