Electronic reference and bibliographic sources in universal scientific libraries as a basis of social development

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of changing the structure and expanding the content of the reference and bibliographic apparatus of the library (RBA) in connection with the widespread use of electronic bibliographic sources. The instructions for bibliographic databases or traditional library catalogs, electronic media, and information resources as part of an electronic RBA are considered. The RBA composition is studied in accordance with modern requirements, and the resources that make up the RBA composition are also involved in the study. The experience of universal scientific libraries is analyzed.
