Open access is one of the topics that attracted the researchers interest as it is a turning point for the recovery of technical and scientific information’s recovery which requires a set of tools and technical skills. This study aims to discover the main problems of information’s recovery within open access in addition to the inventory of the most important smart search engines and to know the strategies of information’s recovery. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, and came out with a number of important conclusions, the most important are : Searching for scientific and technical information in the open access environment has become a very difficult and the researcher does not know which of them is more useful. Relying on the common ranking of sites, smart search engines in its work, depends on semantic web applications, most notably XML, RDF and ontology, users can quickly find specific search results through smart search engines without having to become experts in search engines or have a well-defined strategies for searching within the open access environment. The study also showed that the semantic scholar search engine deals with open sources more efficiently than traditional search engines through its ability to discover these sources and display them to the beneficiary in a distinctive way.

Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to describe the current situation at the Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (INIST) the French document supply centre after their difficulties with open access articles during 2013. Design/methodology/approach – A narrative and analytical explanation by the director of INIST. Findings – That INIST will no longer service the commercial sector and will provide documents to researchers in CNRS for free and priced to French higher education establishments. The growth in open access will mean that INIST is ceasing to be an industrial scale operation and will be concerned primarily with “long tail” requests. Originality/value – Certainly, the only account in English of the difficulties that INIST has faced in the past three years and how they have been dealt with.

The article considers the stages of development of the national information system based on the State system of scientific and technical information created in the Soviet period. The multi-level structure of the State system included various institutions, among which the significant proportion was formed by State scientific universal libraries of federal and regional level. The role of the V.I. Lenin State Library of the USSR (nowadays the Russian State Library) in creation of the Specialized Center for Culture and Art is revealed. There is demonstrated the significance of information technologies for the State system of scientific and technical information — creation of the automated system of scientific and technical information. Attention is drawn to the fact that in 1991—2001, due to economic difficulties and lack of the government support, the destruction of the system integrity began; there was a threat of irreplaceable loss of the created resources. “Regulations on the State system of scientific and technical information”, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in 1997, contributed to the preservation of the most of organizational structure of the system of scientific and technical information of Russia.In modern conditions, support for the development of scientific and technical information system in Russia is needed at the legislative and executive levels, and should be based on government and commercial scientific and information structures. It is required to carry out a comprehensive analysis and research study of the current state of system of scientific and technical information, taking into account the indicators of the resource potential, human resources and determination of the further construction and principles of its work for scientific and information support of processes in society.In the study were used the documents of the Archive of the Russian State Library and the official regulatory publications.
