The activity of methodical services is prerequisite for sustainable development of libraries and effective innovation. The article presents the results of the first survey over the last 30 years, conducted by the Center for study of problems of the development of libraries in the information society of the Russian state library in April — October 2017, aimed to analyse the organization of methodical services in the Central libraries of subjects of the Russian Federation, to assess their workforce capacity and to offer solutions to the revealed problems. The results of the data analysis (representativeness is 94%) demonstrates that in most of the Central libraries the methodical activity is the priority (core) trend, and methodical services continue to evolve. In their organization there is a great diversity, which manifests in setting the activity goals and objectives, in choosing the approaches to determining staffing levels, building a structure. The capacity of human resource in most of the libraries can be considered quite high: experts belong to the potentially productive age group, have sufficient experience, and regularly update their knowledge. Among the acute problems is lack of the approved methods for calculation of the normative standards for staffing levels of these units, as well as the requirements for professional growth training for methodologists. There is made the conclusion on the need to work out recommendations for the formation of staff size of methodological services, to identify and spread the best practices for the development of the government order for performance of works (services) on the methodological support of librarianship. For the organization of advanced professional training of methodologists, it is needed to combine the efforts of Federal libraries and actively introduce distance learning.

The article describes the history of appearance of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in the holdings of the Russian State Library. This Collection of Jewish and Arabic books and manuscripts of Baron Ginzburg is considered to be one of the treasures of the Russian State Library. The manuscript part of the Collection consists of 1913 units of the 14th - 19th centuries. In 2010 the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu during the official visit to the Russian Federation raised the issue of transfer of the Ginzburg Collection to Israel “as a reciprocal gesture of good will” (the building of St. Sergius Metochion in Jerusalem was returned to the Russian Federation at the end of 2008). The search of documents relating to the fate of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in Russia held in the Russian archives produced unexpected results. After the First World War the Society of Friends of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem (JNUL), created in London, got interested in the Ginzburg Collection. At the beginning of the 1920s representatives of JNUL claimed that Baronesse M. Ginzburg has been paid in advance and there has been drawn the act of purchase and sale of the Collection. However they did not submit any documents which could confirm the version of sale of the Collection. By that time books and manuscripts were nationalized as scientific treasures and got held at the Rumyantsev Museum. The Museum leadership and Soviet Jewish community objected the idea of transfer of the Collection. Director of JNUL G. Leve appealed to V. Lenin, to A. Lunacharsky, the People’s Commissar of Education, and to other leaders of the Soviet Russia to solve the matter concerning the transfer of the Collection to Jerusalem. The request was supported by the famous scientist Albert Einstein. His letters to A. Lunacharsky are published for the first time.
