Abstract

The author examines the experience of Yanka Kupala State University Library (Grodno, Belarus) in providing digital document resources to its users. The proprietary information resources are reviewed; the selection principles for library Internet-resources are specified; user awareness services are described. The library organizes information educational workshops intended for the faculty, though it experiences some problems in disseminating information on library services and resources, in particular, students’ low interest in information literacy and lacking teaching hours for library courses. The author suggests several possible solutions and prospective vectors for the academic library, i. e. development of proprietary resources, corporate collaboration, improvement, development and introduction of new methods of user services. The author emphasizes the importance of improving librarians’ professional competences in providing reliable and enhanced information.
