Abstract
The purpose of the research was to study the structure and peculiarities of using the CSAL electronic information resources on agrarian subjects. The modern users of the CSAL electronic information resource - the database (BD) “AGROS” and methods for studying them were identified. Statistical reports to carry out an analysis were formed on the basis of an own (CSAL) development. The development involved the technologies Microsoft IIS, Active Server Pages and SQL Server. The information requirements of users were studied, the structure and dynamics of their retrievals in the BD “AGROS” were revealed. A user request to the BD “AGROS” is defined as the main indicator of the demand for the electronic information resource. The monitoring study has been carried out on the basis of requests of 55 thousand users enquired with the BD “AGROS” in the period of 2015-2017. The main group of users - the Internet users (95.7%) has been revealed. Based on 639 thousand requests it has been found out that the users prefer working with the BD “AGROS” in a distal mode (85% of all requests). Requests from the CSAL home page through the search engine box were 37%. More than 1.1 million documents have been selected for revision. Articles of collections of research papers and serials are most highly sought (38.2%), books occupy 22.5%. Among the reviewed documents 11% have abstracts and their share is growing. Most of selected documents with abstracts are research reports (48.9%) and articles (33.2%). The selected documents are mainly viewed in a distal mode (77%). It has been found that a modern user of the BD “AGROS” is an individual who prefers to work with electronic resources remotely, has skills of self-guided work for searching information in the web electronic resources, when choosing information gives pride of place to articles of collections of research papers and serials.
