The author investigates why the term “scientific library” may not be accepted as a separate class within the classification of libraries based on structural systematization. She also reviews the idea of the scientific library as seen by the national science in the 1930s when this phenomenon was first conceptualized. The concept by Dmitry D. Ivanov is examined; he made distinction between the two library processes: generation of library documents and their delivery to users. The author emphasizes the closeness of D. Ivanov’v ideas to her own interpretation of “the public library” concept. She concludes that the libraries of any structure (public or private individual) may support science though we may not identify a separate class of the scientific libraries within the general library classification based on structural systematization. However, the author does not rule out building an isolated classification where the concept of “the scientific library” will be divided into two types in accordance with the concept structure, namely “the public scientific library” and “private use library”. Further division would be similar to that of the general classification. The author considers the concept of “the research library” to be optional for the national library science.

Since the great historical event - the proclamation of the Act of Independence of Ukraine, the country has been expanding international cooperation in librarianship. The main areas of international cooperation, which is a priority in research institutions in the library business, are: conducting joint research; organization of international conferences, symposia, congresses and other events. Scientific conferences are one of the forms of dissemination of new information. In the modern information space, scientific institutions play an essential role in developing science, education and culture. Therefore, when evaluating a scientific institution, the number of international scientific and practical seminars, conferences, other events organized by the scientific institution, and materials (including collections of abstracts) of conferences are considered. Among the research institutions of Ukraine, which study the problems of library science, bibliography, bibliology, source studies, document science, archival science, biography, codicology and discography, history of book culture, computer science, social communications, the leading position is held by the most extensive library of Ukraine – the National Library of Ukraine, named after V.

The main article objective is a terminological analysis of «librarianship» concept. The development of theoretical concepts of librarianship as a science and as a branch of knowledge is explored. The concept of «library thought» and its correspondence with the concept of «the history of librarianship» is analyzed. The author substantiate the idea that the library thought development did not contradict the history of library science and was its important part, librarianship roots should be traced with the emergence of the first libraries. This point of view on the history of librarianship found understanding in the works by I. V. Lukashov, V. V. Skvortsov, M. I. Slukhovsky, Yu. N. Stolyarov and other library scholars. The article deals with polemic questions: when has librarianship been recognized as a science; can the first use of the concept of «librarianship» be considered as a sign of the emergence of library science. The analysis of applying the concept «library science» showed that before the early XX century it was defined as «a systematic presentation of knowledge about libraries organization and the management». The article analyzes dividing the library science into theoretical and practical parts; examines the fate of the theoretical librarianship in frames of «theoretical» discussions taken place in early 1930s, and attempts of Soviet scientists (V. A. Artisevich, I. A. Mesenyashin, N. Ya. Fridieva) to revive the theoretical library science; considers the views of Yu. V. Grigoriev substantiated the library science as independent one. Analysis of the national library science thought development in 1960s-70s of the XX century showed that its development was characterized by a scientific approach, with heightened attention to general theoretical and methodological problems that contributed to forming the librarianship as a science. The article states that in the modern terminology of the national library science there are two concepts: as a librarianship independent science and as a branch of knowledge. Combination into a single term of at least two different «library sciences» leads both to typological and substantial inconsistencies and errors, which can be seen in a variety of theoretical and practical disciplines including the word «librarianship». The author offers two options concerning use of the term «librarianship». The first one is to call the «librarianship» on the western model «library science», and the term «librarianship» applies to various disciplines (library science as a branch of knowledge). The second one is to retain in national science traditional name «librarianship» as a synonym for «library science» and not to use the word «librarianship» in the titles of different library disciplines to avoid confusion.

How can novel AI techniques be made and put to use in the library? Combining methods from data and library science, this article focuses on Natural Language Processing technologies in especially national libraries. It explains how the National Library of Sweden’s collections enabled the development of a new BERT language model for Swedish. It also outlines specific use cases for the model in the context of academic libraries, detailing strategies for how such a model could make digital collections available for new forms of research: from automated classification to enhanced searchability and improved OCR cohesion. Highlighting the potential for cross-fertilizing AI with libraries, the conclusion suggests that while AI may transform the workings of the library, libraries can also have a key role to play in the future development of AI.

The study was to describe the relationship between the ability to search and the relevance of search results on the e-resources portal of the National Library of Indonesia (PNRI) so that it can find ways to maximize the ability to search for scientific digital information sources on that portal. The method used was quantitative with descriptive statistics analysis. The technique of colleting data was questionnaires, interviews, and literature studies. For  the population, there were 108 active students of  D-3 Library Science Study Program in the FKIP, while the sample was D-3 Library Science Study Program students who have accessed e-resources services of PNRI with the numbers 45 students who are considered representative in terms of search capabilities. The results showed that there was a relationship between the ability of students in searching and e-resources database of PNRI with the relevance of search results. It can be seen from the suitability of journal articles and electronic books that they were searching. 78,05% of students were able to search and got relevant results because they were influenced by the selection strategy of the search strategy. The effectiveness of strategy selection was also influenced by the ability to break down or formulate keywords. In these study, the ability to formulate keywords as the basis of search was in the low category, but the combination to get the needed information was in the high category.  Keywords: searching for information, e-resources, National Library of Indonesia
