1.1 Essential characteristics of library information activities

The ratio of concepts "Library Case" and "Library Activities"

Library activities are considered as "the area of \u200b\u200bsociogumanitarian activities to meet the information, cultural and educational needs of the population through libraries." This definition of the term "library activities" does not disclose the specifics of this activity.

Consider the relationship between the concepts of "library work" and "library activities" from different points of view.

The term "library business" in various sources is defined as a branch of information, cultural and educational and educational activities, including the creation and development of the library network, the formation and use of their funds, the organization of library, information and reference and bibliographic services, the preparation of library personnel, scientific and Methodical support of the library; The professional activity industry, providing the creation and development of libraries as a social system, the main objectives of which is to preserve and transfer to new generations of intellectual achievements of humanity reflected in the document (information) stream and the organization of public use of documents (information) library resources; area of \u200b\u200bactivity on the organization of library services; The area of \u200b\u200bprofessional labor, the appointment of which is to meet the information needs of the Company through the information resources focused in libraries, as well as a set of libraries operating on a particular other territory; The industry of information, cultural and educational and educational activities, the tasks of which is the creation and development of the network of libraries, the formation and processing of their funds, the organization of library, information and reference and bibliographic services of libraries, training of library workers, scientific and methodological support of libraries; scope of research and librarian applications; This is a branch of culture and information, including a system of libraries, library funds, other information, intellectual, material and technical resources of libraries, infrastructure (library science, special educational institutions, library printing). Perhaps the term "library work" is advisable to replace the term "library industry".

The term "library business" arose long before the term "library activities". The latter appeared in the 1997 terminological dictionary, and in 1986 it was not yet.

The term "library work" has developed similarly to the term "book case", "banking" when it became necessary to find a generalizing concept for expressing a variety of problems relating to libraries.

V.V. Skvortsov expands the concept of "library case", uniting to a certain extent with the concept of "library activities". Without considering a special term "library activities", the author, the author, when disclosing the object of library, calls the elements of this activity: the subject of labor, the subject of labor, the intermediary of labor. Library activities V.V. Skvortsov considers as "the process of library activities." The author characterizes this process as the creation of library services and products, as a single process, including the main and auxiliary (providing) and management activities.

The analysis shows that in the library science, when using the terms "library work" and "library activities" there is no clarity regarding the ratio of the content of these concepts.

The concept of "library work" is much wider than the concept of "library activities". "Library activities" can be predetermined as a complex of different types of work providing the fulfillment of the library (as a institution) of their basic functions and mission to society.

A holistic vision of library activities makes it possible to identify it and distinguish, what is another type of activity. Today it is relevant primarily because libraries arise new activities related to automation, the introduction of modern information technologies. A holistic vision of library activities is necessary to manage all variety of its species, organizational structures, developing their classification, an answer to the question of maintaining or changing the essence of this activity in connection with technological and sociocultural changes.

DIY ESSENCE OF LIBRARY INFORMATION

ABOUT essential characteristic Library and information activities in professional literature practically no work. The exception is the article M.I. Akilina. It considers a hire as the criterion of library phenomena, subject to the preservation of the document in the system. Before issuing a temporary use document, it is necessary to have it, and to give it several times (the library usually issues documents repeatedly), it should be stored. Therefore, storage for the library is also necessary, as well as hire. Consequently, the essence of library (library information) of the activity of the system: collection, processing, storage of documents and their provision different ways, above all through the rental. This activity can be called memorial-information, meaning that such a memory collects the library, processes, stores information (in the form of documents and other information objects) and distributes it by providing these objects.

The identification of essence allows you to clarify the definition of library and information activities: this kind of information activity (memorial-information), which is a set of labor processes, technological and creative, ensuring the execution of the library of basic functions to organize the collection, processing, preservation and availability of documents, other information objects and Mission to society.

The two sides of the essence of library and information activities are contradictory. At the library level as a system, this contradiction reproduces the opposite between the library foundation and users. Two different sides of library information activities, detecting its main contradiction, however, form unity and ensure the demand of the library information resources.

Throughout history, the library as a social institution, ensuring the safety of documents (which implies their collection and storage), was obliged to prevent them with loss, damage, damage. At the same time, transmitting documents to the use of readers, serving them, the library involves their possible loss or damage.

The harder (in financial and spatial terms) to store documents, the factory it is necessary to select them, leaving them. But the fact that for one is valuable for the other is not valuable. Consequently, the selection of documents deprives the average abstract reader of all the completeness of the information you need.

An analysis of this contradiction shows that it is largely due to the submission in society and the library professional environment about such versatile categories, as time (past, present and future) and value. Indeed, writing and library arose to store the past for the present and future, replacing the oral tradition of transmitting information related to the present.

In antiquity and the middle ages of the library were largely aimed at storage (i.e. for the past for the future). Understanding the ratio of the past is the present - the future as the past for the future created the image of the library as a temple, as something higher, inaccessible. Such a look at the library now to some extent preserved as a tradition, although it is real for the library for a long time there is no such relationship. Today, in connection with the introduction of information and communication technologies, in the consciousness of librarians there is a change in the proportions between the past, this and future in favor of this.

Thus, the contradiction between the safety of documents and their accessibility, in essence, expresses the contradiction between the responsibility of the library before today's user and responsibility to future generations, which will not be able to familiarize themselves with cultural values, if they are lost. This specific contradiction can be compared with such contradictions of a natural nature as heredity and variability, memorization and reproduction.

During the historical development, the role of the named opposites changed. When expanding during the accessibility of documents and information, the necessary balance between these opposites is still preserved. Expansion of availability is not impossible, it is limited by the fact that the library must maintain funds, so the availability does not extend to the distribution of books or their sales (as in the bookstore). In the library, restrictions in accessibility are organic, since the essence of the diverse and contradictory.

If the essence of library information activities lies in the unity of storage and providing documents, the exception of one of the parties to this unity will lead to the fact that the institution will cease to be a library, and will, for example, an information-broker company that provides documents and information without saving them , and getting from libraries, scientific and technical information services (NTI), archives, museums.

A more complete picture of the essence of library and information activities can be obtained by considering it in the context of human activity as a whole.

Library and information activity as a system

Library-information activity is one of the many types of activities that are carried out by a person. In works on human activity, L.S. Vygotsky, P.Ya. Galperin, A.N. Leontyev, S.L. Rubinstein, B.F. Lomoms and other scientists when characterizing it as systems allocate components such as objectives, a subject (subjects) of activity, endowed with activity, object (objects), to which the activity of the subject, means and processes of activity, the conditions in which it is committed, the results of the activity . Using a systematic activity, consider library-information activities. At the same time, we proceed from the two entity of this activity (Table 1).

Table 1 - Characteristics of Library Information

Components

1) in a broad sense - information resource (single document, other information facilities, document resource, electronic resource);

2) information needs of users (general, group, individual, different content);

3) From the point of view of library and information management - the library, its activities, technical means, equipment.

1) librarian;

2) Bibliographer.

3) user;

1) A combination (batch) of documents or other information objects selected by the library for users from the available information resources.

The subject is transformed into the model - search images of documents and determines the results of this activity as the library fund, a reference and search apparatus.

The subject is converted into the model - the search image of the query (pos) and determines the other result of library-information activities - the service.

Collection, processing, storage of certain types of documents (other information facilities, including electronic) and satisfaction based on their needs of users in information.

Total processes - actions

Implementation of cumulation, processing, organization of the Fund; ensuring the preservation of documents; Reception and refinement of the user request, search for search, etc. (or creating conditions, library information environment for self-work of the user).

Result

Library and information products and services.

Since the document _ Unity of information (content) and media, and the information has a certain value for a person, a certain value, the library cannot ignore the value aspect of the document content. The value of the content of a specific document is determined, as a rule, such parameters as relevance, novelty themes, practical utility, scientific, production and artistic importance, degree of use, accuracy of the facts presented, fullness of data, etc. The value of providing timely information (actual, semantic, ethical, aesthetic, etc.) is the most important characteristics of the object and the subject of library and information activities and, accordingly, its results. In certain circumstances (for example, when working with book monuments), the library also takes into account the value forms of the publication, i.e. The value of the document as a whole.

The following concepts of the value approach to library and information activities can be distinguished:

1) the concept that has received theoretical development in the USSR as the theory of manual reading, i.e. targeted impact on the content and nature of reading;

2) The concept involving orientation only on user requests. In real practice, the library is quite flexible combines both points of view, taking into account the value orientation of society, and the preferences of users, providing the "eternal" balance and temporary values.

The system-active approach makes it possible to see the specifics of library information activities, where there are different types of subjects of subjects (librarian and user): as a subject - an object (for example, when forming a fund), as a subject - a subject (with a confidential conversation in the library), as a single subject. For example, during the refinement of the request (in the provision of documents, certificates), a single subject can be expressed by the formula "individual user - librarian", during some events (quiz, discussions) - "Collective user - librarian". In this case, the activities of the librarian and the user are jointly combined. In addition, the system-activity approach allows you to clarify the connection of the subject and the subject of activity. For example, on the one hand, for the library the subject of activity is the user's request, on the other hand, the librarian designs its subject (flow of incoming documents, a reference and search apparatus, etc.). With a systemic approach, the dynamics of the activity process at the level of algorithms are disclosed in the study of the technology of user interaction and librarian.

Library-information is a system of processes corresponding to the system of their goals and subordinate to the general goal of the library.

The characteristic of library and information funds is given in the works of L.I. Aleshina, MG Wathrysheva, M.Ya. Dvorkanov, I.S. Pilko, Yu.N. Stolyarova. These are technical equipment, equipment, bibliographic, methods, techniques and organizational forms. Means can only be used for library information activities, for example, the methods of refinement of the request, and be universal, let's say, computer products (M.G. Villaschva calls them specific and nonspecific). I.S. Pilko characterizes funds as document resources, technical, linguistic and software, as well as personnel resources.

Funds are included in the structure of library and information resources. Resources - means, reserves, possibilities, sources of something. In library information activities, information resources can be distinguished, which include: Library Information Fund, reference and search apparatus, Internet resources and resources available through it different libraries and information centers, other organizations. At the same time, at the same time, these resources are the result of information activities, including library information. Therefore, it's not by chance that M.G. Vethryshva considers bibliographic resources as a global result of bibliographic practical activity. The resource and the result is also a library information environment. Like other types of human activity, library-information requires material and technical (library building, technical equipment, equipment, etc.), financial and intellectual resources. Intelligent library resources include:

The potential of librarians, including theoretical and practical development in the field of technology, methods and organization of library information activities;

Knowledge and skills, general and professional culture of specific librarians, on which the quality and efficiency of users depends;

Intellectual potential of users who affect their work in the library and stimulates the activities of librarians;

Linguistic I. software library technology.

However, on the one hand, all the resources of the library are included in the production of products and services, and on the other - they are elements of the library and information medium, the spatial and temporary field, in which the result is the result of library information activities (Fig. 1).

Let us dwell on library information activities. Depending on the specific purpose, subject, object, subject, means and environmental conditions, different technological processes are implemented, creating intermediate results (for example, an index that obtained when classifying, subjects) or final results (products or services).

Products are the result of a complex of providing activities. Products are the Library Information Fund, a reference and search apparatus, bibliographic manuals. The service is the result of a service complex. This is issuing documents and certificates, preparation of the conference, presentation, etc. The overall result of library and information activities (products plus service) is a library-information product.

Library services provide user access to such public benefits as information, knowledge, culture.

Figure 1 - Production of the result of library information activities

Library service, being a social access mechanism, is a mechanism for cultural broadcast. At the same time, the services have both the economic side, because they have the cost.

Each service is characterized by content and shape. The main component of the content of the service is its subject reflecting the need that is satisfied; Services differ from each other primarily the subject.

Today, speaking of the results of library and information activities, it is important to take into account the provisions of the knowledge economy. In particular, it seems significant allocation of basic services and value-added services aimed at facilitating the consumer of the use of basic services. Value-added services, as the information service and products and products develop the market, go to the basic group, replacing new types of value-added services.

Basic services (products) in libraries may be considered a library information fund, a reference and search apparatus, including databases, bibliographic manuals, based on the value-added services _ Search for documents and information on requests, preparation of certificates, MBA services (interlibrary subscription) and electronic delivery of documents, etc.

Currently, the nomenclature of services provided to the library user has increased. The number of applicable electronic services is melted, designed not only for numerous library users, but also outside the information and educational environment.

All elements of library information activities are interconnected (for example, the type of document and user needs will determine the nature of the technological process, the qualifications of the librarian and the result of activity).

So, library information activities are a system, i.e., the set of elements in relations and connections among themselves and forming a single integer. This unity, integrity is ensured by a common goal - collecting, processing, storing certain types of documents, other information facilities, including electronic, and satisfying the needs of users in library and information services, as well as the integrative property of this system, determined by the dialion of its entity, direct and inverse relations between its elements and subsystems. We also note that this system is information and sociocultural, open, i.e. related to the external environment and supporting itself in response to changes ambient, complex, self-developing system.

It should be noted that this time in the library and information activity system has several organizational levels and the corresponding subsystems: the level of a specific library as institutions, different levels of its structural units, levels of library associations (a certain industry of market economy, any territory), libraries and other organizations (for example, consortia). Therefore, you can consider library-information activities as a system of not only activity elements (see above), but also as a system of organizational structures. Depending on the levels of the organization, the nature of the self-regulation of library-information activities is also changing.

Within one library, library information activities are presented in different species that are interconnected by the goal of the goal, technology, different levels of the organization.

Thus, in the library and information activity system there are relatively autonomous subsystems for elements, types, activities of activities.

With regard to self-developing systems, new aspects of space categories - time are revealed. Building a system of new levels of organization is accompanied by a change in its indoor space - Time.

Library-information activity is not only a complex, self-developing system, but also a system of person product, since here a person is a component of the system that is included in it and often acts as a subject, and as an object of activity.

Communication of library and informational activities with educational

Consider the links of library-information with other activities, including with educational.

To ensure storage and provision of documents, information (information), you need to cumulate these documents, information, process them and organize them so that they become accessible to users so that they can be easily found.

The appearance (subspecies) of activity is a concept that gives a brief content characteristic of activities that provides a certain finite or significant intermediate result.

The view (subspecies) of the activity is not identical to the technological process (technological operation), since, on the one hand, it gives a general, and not a specific submission of activities, on the other hand, implies the possibility of using several options technological processes (operations) depending on the specific purpose, subject, object, conditions, etc.

In the scientific classification of library and information activities, various features are used (see Aclaima).

The study examines library-information activity as a system, characterizes its elements, which has both theoretical and practical importance for further fixation and analysis of changes in this activity. The study of the nature of library-information relations with other activities, on the one hand, shows its wide representation and significance in the structure of human activity, on the other, has a practical application, in particular, to determine the place of library and information activities in the educational process.

To identify the development trends that have been scheduled for changes in library information activities in relationship with educational as a system, consider the evolution of library activities.

1.2 Main stages, trends and mechanisms for the development of library information activities in terms of synergetics

Library - Social Institute of Written Culture. The emergence of the library marked the end of society based on the oral cultural tradition, and the development of a book culture society, document communication and social memory based on the document, text. Libraries are collected, processed, stored and present information and work for contemporaries and future generations.

The process of the formation and development of library information activities was long and difficult. We will try to characterize the main stages of the development of library information activities from the point of view of synergetics, based on signs of changes under the influence of sociocultural and economic factors of the external environment of the elements of the system of study activities. As part of the stages of the evolution of library and information activities, periods that are determined by key changes are characteristic of these periods can be allocated.

First stage. When a lot of handwritten texts appeared, objectively became the necessary appearance of the library, which was supposed to have these texts to streamline and save. Using the terminology of synergies, it can be said that in the development of written culture as a self-organizing system an unstable state occurred, the permission of which could go in two ways (bifurcation point), the first way - the emergence of libraries meant the development of the system, the second - destruction. The first librarians, speaking of the language of synergetics, is the attractor that ordered the chaos of handwritten texts.

The emergence of texts, including handwritten books, has issued a place for premises for their conservation, since human memory has been in an innumenny society. It is not by chance that the word "library" comes from the Greek words "book" and "storage". One of the ways to save books and facilitate their search was the creation of their description (secondary information), whose analogues were in a balanced society. "The fixation of information in oral form also reached a high degree of perfection ... Auxiliary apparatus was created, including the bibliographic, which in the pretty period became a prototype information model Subsequent written culture with its pairs of primary and secondary information: Book - auxiliary pointers, libraries - catalogs, text - bibliography. " The libraries appeared primitive classification.

Thus, the first stage is the origin of library-information activities within the framework of memorial-information - is associated with the advent of the handwritten book and the need for its use (high-ranking readers) in any necessity, and therefore storage.

The second stage of the evolution of the library in library activities can be coincided with the invention of typography, consequently, replication, increasing the availability of the book. This external technical and technological circumstance was determined by the development and complication of socio-economic life and supported the philosophy and educational ideology, which were aimed at the development of science, the dissemination of knowledge and libraries in society. Increasing the demand of libraries and their ability to ensure wide access to books, thanks to typography, contributed to the change in the empowerment of library activities towards expanding the availability of books saved by libraries. It became possible to broadly provide books not only favorites, but all potential readers whose needs in reading increased. At the same time, not only keep books for descendants, but also make them lever educational activities of libraries.

The internal stability of this self-organizing nonlinear system was violated due to the increasing volume of stored materials (books, documents of office work, visual works, etc.). The limited resource capabilities of the first libraries constrained the processing of increasing amounts of documents, did not allow to ensure proper storage conditions; The state of chaos in the organization, threatening the system, increased again. Expanding the premises, the construction of buildings only temporarily improved the situation and stability of the system.

A more fundamentally resolved situation by self-organization of the system, which was expressed in the differentiation of the book printing: Archives and museums were formed, which concentrated the handwritten and most ancient documents, as well as paintings and other historical values, the libraries began to collect mainly replicated products for the current needs of society.

It can be said that a higher-level system began to form in society, which A.V. Sokolov and Yu.N. Stolyarov was called a system of document communications. At the end of the XVIII - early XIX century. The library is increasingly recognized by the institution intended for public education. The number of readers is growing, their needs are becoming more diverse. Under the influence of the increasing flow of documents and expanding needs, there is a need to open new libraries. The libraries and their activities were differentiated, the spectrum of services they provide expanded. The library system, which includes libraries of different types.

The largest libraries (first of all, national), paying the focus of safety, at the same time expanded the availability of funds (exhibitions, utility funds, openness for a broader public, increasing the number and differentiation of reader rooms, interchange books for readers, which received later name "Interlibrary Subscription"). At the same time, various types of publicly available libraries appeared, in whose activities was the priority dissemination of the book in the people. In 1879, in a number of US libraries, readers have opened to funds (open or free access to the Foundation), in Western Europe, this happened in the XIX century, in Russia - in the middle of the XX century. The cultural and educational activities of libraries are developing. Libraries have become widely available for any populations.

In order to improve the service of readers, in the first half of the XX century. Interaction of libraries, library networks, centralized library systems are created, and elements of cooperation and coordination appear in library information activities. All this is based on mechanization, telephonization, first copiers.

In the 60s. XX century In our country (in Western countries - earlier), the services of scientific and technical information arose. These services were largely based on library information activities. Thus, a new social institution began to take memorial and information activities. At the same time, the emphasis was made not so much on the document as the unity of the carrier and the content, but on the information, that is, on the content of the document, analytical disclosure. Analysis of the content of the document was not new for library information activities. He was expressed in systematization, subject, analytical painting, annotation, referencing (in special libraries). But the appearance computer equipmentAlthough with necessary at that stage, the use of perforators provided new opportunities for analytics. At that time, not only independent information services appeared, but also information and analytical units in libraries.

Thus, the second stage of the development of library information activities is characterized, on the one hand, its dissemination of new social institutions, or rather, using its foundations for diversification in accordance with the tasks of these social institutions, on the other - differentiation of this activity within the library system with By consideration of the specifics of the information needs of users of different libraries.

The third stage in the evolution of library and information activities at the end of the XX - early XXI century. associated with globalization, the development of the information society, computer equipment and telecommunications, the appearance of an electronic document (wider - electronic resource), virtual subjects of library information activities, electronic information products and services, remote access Users to resource libraries.

Realizing the advantages of information technology, the library began to actively adapt to these changes.

But it was more difficult to cope with the continuing increase in the flow of documents (at the end of the XX century. Already e-mail), which no library of the world is not able to process themselves to make accessible to society. As a consequence of the growth of the document flow in all libraries, especially large, the lack of areas for placing literature, documents are "stacking" and become unavailable for consumers, and network electronic documents are not entered systematically into the fund system, instead, about their fixation And processing goes discussions. The construction of new buildings mitigates the situation, but does not solve the problem. According to a synergistic look, the exit for the self-organizing system, which is the library, may be the transition to a new level, for example, union. The library turned out to be in a state of bifurcation or, possibly, polyfurcation, choosing directions for further evolution.

As a self-organizing system, the library, in response to this time call, began to change. The library community was forced to abandon the exhaustive recruitment of the funds of individual libraries, and developed the concept of a distributed library fund, involving the distribution between the responsibility libraries for the collection, the preservation and maintenance of documents of a certain topic, the species and coordination of interlibrary activities. This concept also focuses on the interaction of libraries with archives, museums, NTI services, other structures that have document funds. The concept of a distributed world, national, regional library-information fund is still not fully implemented.

The idea of \u200b\u200ba distributed library and information fund demanded some adjustment of priorities in the implementation of the basic functions of libraries and involves focusing them on providing access to documents. At the same time, this idea allows you to increase the reliability of the storage and preservation of documents. At the same time, large libraries independently, or in cooperation with other institutions, solve problems of protecting the material framework of documents, create units for the restoration and conservation of documents, organize their "eternal" storage, translating the limits of the library itself, are looking for ways to preserve new information objects. To improve the efficiency of the use of areas, various methods are used, first of all, compact options for racks, metal moving racks, weighing materials.

To solve library problems already in 1970 - 1980. Centralized library systems, depositories, territorial library complexes were created. The meaning of these innovations is coordination and cooperation in the acquisition, storage and service to ensure greater safety and availability of funds for users. However, the library information system in those years, first of all, was not technically ready for real coordination. In this regard, the situation of synergetics, which emphasizes that "difficult to organize ... systems cannot be imposed on their development paths. Rather, it is necessary to understand how to contribute to their own development trends. "

Today, the creation of a distributed library foundation is real, because it reflects not only the answer to the time call, but also the internal technical readiness of the libraries to this. Library activities are now based on modern information technologies, first of all - the Internet. Relationships with libraries and other organizations included in the distributed fund system can be built not only for coordination, but also at combining the type of consortium, i.e., more difficult to organized system. In any embodiment, the implementation of the idea of \u200b\u200ba distributed library and information fund will save documents, improve user maintenance and at the same time reduce the volume of the fund of each library (the effect of saving as a result of the combination, which draws the attention of synergetics).

The organizational implementation of a distributed library and information fund considers N.I. Khahalev. Each country is responsible for the preservation of its national part of the World Working Fund. A significant role in this belongs to depositories, component funds based on a mandatory instance. To save and ensure user access to the affected documents having, nevertheless, scientific, historical, artistic importance, is supposed to create repositaries in the centers of federal districts. The distributed library information fund makes a specific library and its activities part of a higher level system, which increases, according to synergetics, the degree of its adaptation to the environment, primarily to those global processes that occur in the world.

At the third stage of the development of library information activities, a new transformation of the ratio of preservation and accessibility in favor of the latter has occurred in favor of the latter, but within a separate library. At the same time, in the system of institutions engaged in memorial-information activities, due to the distributed fund, the likelihood of the reliability of the storage and preservation of documents has increased. During the evolution, a transition was carried out from the orientation on the completeness of the acquisition and storage of documents in one large (national) library of the country to coordinated recruitment, storing documents and information by various institutions, maintenance, as well as to coordinate this activity between countries.

I got the spread of free access to information, supported by new technologies, changed the relationship to the library user in the direction of expanding his rights and availability for it documents and information, some library specialists defend the point of view of the priority of access to the ownership. The expansion of the availability of the library served as a development in the second half of the XX century. Library advertising as information for users about the library, library services and products and public relations (public relations) - activities aimed at dialogue with users, power, public structures.

Expansion of availability, nevertheless, is not impossible, but limited to the fact that the library should save funds, so the availability does not extend to distribution of books or their sales, as in the bookstore. In the library restrictions in accessibility are inevitable, since the essence of library and information activities is dyed and contradictory.

The emergence of the term "information resources" suggests that today the main attention is paid to the content, and not the carrier, so the information on any types of media receives a general designation. The desire to disclose the content of the document is characteristic of library and information activities. New technical and technological capabilities allow not only to get the full text (in electronic form) without referring to the repository, but also to conduct a meaningful analysis using different techniques, highlight a set of meanings of the text, reach each word and do it all available for the user.

Thus, in the evolution of library information activities, the tendency to expand the availability of documents and the information contained in them is clearly traced.

The extension of the availability of libraries means more adequate needs of the Society Dialogue of the Library with Him. It is manifested in focusing library and information activities on a particular direction (education, education, education, science, culture, etc.), in accordance with the requirements of society, state structures, the development of the information sphere, culture, technological changes.

If special libraries are focused mainly on the requirements of departments, professional and other special needs of their users, then universal - actively react to socio-cultural challenges of society. Usually in a professional environment they talk about the educational, cultural, ideological, educational and other functions or roles of libraries. The concept of "role" seems to be more correct, since the functions of the library are determined by two opposites of library-information activities - storage and access. At the same time, the concept of "role", according to the dictionary S.I. Ozhegova, is interpreted here as "character and degree of participation." Indeed, the concept of educational, cultural and other roles of libraries is talking about the degree of participation in the formation of a professional, personality and citizen of their country.

Consider how innovations are manifested in bibiothechnic and information activities. First, in changing the content of the content of socio-cultural and educational events. Secondly, in orientation to new population groups. Thirdly, in the use of new forms of events, fourth, in the application of new funds.

For example, by providing the book to the reader, the library has always contributed to the development of the reading culture. Today, this direction of cultural and educational work is developing as formation information culture.

In this direction of work libraries at the end of the XX century. Organically included measures for the development of electronic culture. E-libraries available to users are created, training seminars are conducted. The library sites are a presentation of exhibitions, electronic directories are revealed to users, virtual reference services are being implemented through sites, a virtual museum, a museum exposition of local lore, materials about conferences, evenings, meetings, discussions, concerts, etc., reports about them with photos and photographs and video materials. All this information becomes available to thousands of users. Thus, library cultural and educational activities from the local (in the library room) becomes mass. At the same time, it should be noted that libraries and previously tried to expand the space of cultural and educational work, organizing exit exhibitions, events.

The library is the product of culture and one of the foundations of the cultural development of society. And changes in its activities, the forms of transmission (broadcast) of culture, services, organizational structure are a contribution to both library culture and culture at all. Variety of Forms of Libraries (Libraries Museums, Family Reading Libraries, Media Traffic, Library - Store - Publishing and other), conducted by them experiments enrich culture.

Thus, the library during evolution increasingly expands its sociocultural and educational activities by creating new directions and forms.

Thanks to its activities, the library not only follows the impulses of the processes occurring in society, but also affects their formation and development by creating a cultural environment for their users, as well as by changing library forms of conservation and broadcasting culture.

Based on the above, it can be concluded that libraries are increasing the importance of libraries, however, their support from the state is required to implement the socio-cultural and information role.

Despite the activity of libraries in the fulfillment of social order, their responsiveness on innovation, adaptability to the environment and recognition by their public blessing, as a result - state, regional, municipal or departmental financing, libraries have never grabbed these funds.

However, currently the power is not focused on the full repayment of library costs, and expects them to cover them due to paid services, donations, etc., it is more likely to go to reduce libraries than to increase their financing. This is, as shown by Yu.A. Gorshkov, characteristic of both Russia and foreign countries. Perhaps this is due to the development and greater demand for the population and the authorities of other means of information and cultural broadcast (radio, television, Internet), especially since they more promptly provide news information.

The emergence of new directions and forms, complication of processes is characteristic not only for sociocultural and educational, but also for other types of library information activities. The main vector of their development is presented when analyzing the stages of the evolution of library and information activities in general.

For example, M.Ya. Dvorkin and I.M. SUSLOVA described the features of the development of library services and management of library activities. In the works of the above authors, the analysis of user library services is considered since the middle of the XIX century. They allocated several periods that allow you to trace the features of the reflection of a bookflash link in the approach to maintenance (organization of use of the library), a pedagogical approach (manual reading, work with readers), library scientific approach (library service), the development of library services and organizational forms of service, influence on library service of psychology and sociology. The main concepts of service are characterized by: system-activity, socio-economic, information and cultural, communicative, socializing, social, etc. presented new opportunities of library services in informatization conditions. It is emphasized that for the modern period, the globalization of library services is characterized (access to international information resources) and at the same time its individualization (providing individual conditions for the consumption of information - at home, at work, in the library). Analyzing management activities, IM SUSLOVA proves the features of the library management and library in the context of the bureaucratic system, restructuring, in the 1990s, reveals the evolution of views on the problems of managing the library from identifying it with the organization of library processes, inclusion in the structure of the scientific organization of labor until the concept of library management , marketing methodologies.

Introduction

Library (Greek. Bibliothskz, from Biblnon - Book and THZK - storage), cultural and educational and scientific and auxiliary institution, organizing public use of printing. The libraries are systematically engaged in harvesting, storing, propaganda and issuing print jobs, as well as information and bibliographic work. This is an informational, cultural, educational institution with an organized fund of documents and representing them to temporarily use subscribers, as well as carrying out other library services.

The activity of the library develops out of the three main components: storage, search, and issuing for a certain time available in the presence of books.

The relevance of this topic is that many libraries still adhere to traditional library systems and processes. We are necessary, the transition from paper communication to communication is paperless to reduce the search for the necessary literature, information about the reader, etc.

IN lately Information technologies have become an integral part of our life. Economic information systems related to the provision and processing of information for all levels of management of economic objects are of particular importance in public life. At the moment, it is impossible to submit any organization that does not apply computer technologies. This is also due to the fact that state structures require mandatory reports in electronic form, therefore, a systematic information is needed.

The initial stage of the creation of the system is the study, analysis and modeling of the organization's activities for possible improvement and optimization of working methods. The course work uses a tool to simulate BPWIN and ERWIN.

The purpose of this course work is to model the library information system, which will improve the efficiency of the processes occurring in the library.

The main tasks of this work are:

Examine the theoretical features of modeling the processes of the organization by means of BPWIN and ERWIN - to study the subject area - library activities

Based on the knowledge gained, design the library activity model.

The object of the study is the library.

The subject of research is the processes occurring in the library, such as:

· The recording process in the library of new readers,

· The process of recording new books,

· Process of issuing books,

· The process of receiving books,

· The process of readers' visits statistics.

Basics of library activities

Organization of the activities of the library

The library is a cultural institution, organizing the collection, storage and public use of printing and other documents. The libraries are systematically engaged in harvesting, storing, propaganda and issuing printers of printing, as well as information and bibliographic work, are a publicly available source of knowledge and a basic basis for self-education.

The main directions of any library are: recruitment and organization of the book fund; Readers service.

The recruitment of the Funds of the library consists of systematic detection (by viewing bibliographic sources and literature) for this library of publications and acquiring them. From the timeliness and completeness of the recruitment of the library largely depends the level of service of readers.

The organization of the book fund includes questions of accounting, alignment, storage of literature and delivery to its reader. Proper organization The Fund facilitates the reader with the use of literature, the librarian - the rapid execution of reader requirements, and also ensures the safety of the funds as a public property.

Library readers service is carried out in various ways:

Issuing literature, both in the reading room and beyond the library;

Assistance to individual readers and institutions in the selection of the literature necessary for them;

Disclosure of the library book funds through the library directory system;

Drawing up information and bibliographic benefits of various types;

Propaganda of the most valuable literature;

Reproduction of texts on orders of readers, etc.

Library activities are related to large number Operations, many books and readers seriously slow down the work of librarians. The complexity of the search for the desired book in the catalog takes for a long time, and is entirely based on the competence of the library workers.

The library contains a card file of readers. To maintain library catalogs, the organization of finding the required publications and library statistics in the database should be kept information, most of which are located in annotated catalog cards

A lot of books from various publishers come to the library. Each book in the library is assigned the number, and then transmitted to various departments. Upon admission of the book, take into account such data as:

· The number of the accepted book,

· title of the book,

· The name of the publisher from which the book was enrolled,

· Department where the book was transferred;

· Addresses of publishing houses

· Publisher names,

· The name and location of the library departments.

The automation of accounting and delivery of books, records of new books and readers, as well as storing information about available books, data on library employees, library repository staff and readers are provided.

Each book stored in the library has the following parameters:

· Edition,

· the year of publishing,

· keywords,

· number of pages.

Each book may be present in several instances.

Also in the library there is a card file of readers. The following information is entered about each reader:

· passport ID,

· telephone.

Each reader is assigned a reader's number.

In the case of issuing an instance of the book in the library, the liner remains, which indicates the date of issue, the date of the alleged return and the number of the reader ticket.

You can extend the book on the phone the book by calling the reader's number and the unique book number.

When the book is returned to the liner, the return period is noted. If the book is delayed, the reader is shown a yellow card. When the reader's warnings accumulates more than a certain limit, it is deprived of the right to use the library for a certain period.

If the book is lost, the reader is deprived of the right to use the library for a certain period, regardless of the number of warnings.

In the library there are a number of restrictions: you can not give books more than the set period, you can not give more than a certain number of books.

Object of study - library.

Subject of study - Processes occurring in the library, such as:

the process of issuing books to readers;

the process of passing books;

the process of receipt of new books;

the process of writing new readers.

Subjects - Users (readers, library administration, other interested persons interested in receipt)

Input information - Information:

about new books received;

about new readers who are recorded in the library;

about the process of issuing books, includes:

Who among the staff of the repository handed the book to the library employee;

Who among the library staff handed the book to the reader;

At the request of which reader this operation was performed;

Title of the book;

Date of issue of the book;

The deadline for which the book is issued;

Output - Information:

· On the statistics of visiting library clients;

· About books that were most often issued to readers, that is, the rating of books.

When issuing books in the database, it is necessary to fix:

title of the book;

date of issue;

Full reader who is issued a book;

FIO of the library employee issuing a book to the reader;

FIO of the repository officer, who passed the book (directly from the repository), the library employee at the request of the reader;

the deadline for which the book is issued.

When passing books in the database, it is necessary to fix the return date of the reader with the reader by entering its name in the database.

The following information is entered for each reader:

A metering ticket;

FIO reader;

Each book stored in the library has the following characteristics:

Title of the book;

Unique cipher (ISBN);

Library-bibliographic classification (BBC);

Publisher;

Place of publication (city);

The year of publishing.

All books differ in their unique cipher - ISBN.

Library-bibliographic classification (BBC) distributes publications by industry in accordance with their content. It uses diguristic indexes of a stepped structure (for example, BBC 32.973 Electronic computing machines and devices). BBC cipher is used when highlighting stored editions of certain rooms, racks and shelves, as well as to compile directories and statistical reports.

The library has a database (database). It is a set of data on all occurring processes in the library (books, readers conducted by events, etc.), built in chronological sequence, in the form of tables and data lists. Its main purpose is data storage, for their subsequent expedient use in the future. BD is on special computer electronically, constantly edited and varies library employees.

The library database can be operating both managers (administration) of the library and library workers interested in obtaining the necessary information.

When working with the system, the librarian should be able to solve the following tasks:

Take new books and register them in the library;

Attribute books to one or several knowledge areas;

To conduct a cataloging of books, that is, the appointment of new inventory numbers newly accepted books;

To keep records of books issued to readers, while it is supposed to be two modes of work: the issuance of books to the reader and receiving the books returned to them back to the library. When issuing books is fixed when and which book was issued to this reader and for what time a given book is issued. When receiving a book returned by the reader, the compliance of the returned inventory number of the book issued to the inventory number, the name of the book, and it puts on its old place in the library.

The library administration should be able to receive information about debtors - library readers who have not returned to the books taken on time; Information about the most popular books, i.e. The most commonly issued books.

The main functions of the library are informational, cultural, educational, leisure.

The ratio of the concepts of "library work" and "library activities".

Library activities are considered as "the area of \u200b\u200bsociogumanitarian activities to meet the information, cultural and educational needs of the population through libraries." This definition of the term "library activities" does not disclose the specifics of this activity.

Consider the relationship between the concepts of "library work" and "library activities" from different points of view.

The term "library business" in various sources is defined as a branch of information, cultural and educational and educational activities, including the creation and development of the library network, the formation and use of their funds, the organization of library, information and reference and bibliographic services, the preparation of library personnel, scientific and Methodical support of the library; The branch of professional activities, which ensures the creation and development of libraries as a social system, the main objectives of which is to preserve and transfer to new generations of intellectual achievements of humanity reflected in the document (information) stream and the organization of public use of documents (information) library resources; area of \u200b\u200bactivity on the organization of library services; The area of \u200b\u200bprofessional labor, the appointment of which is to meet the information needs of the Company through the information resources focused in libraries, as well as a set of libraries operating on a particular other territory; The industry of information, cultural and educational and educational activities, the tasks of which is the creation and development of the network of libraries, the formation and processing of their funds, the organization of library, information and reference and bibliographic service of users of libraries, training of employees of libraries, scientific and methodological support of libraries ; scope of research and librarian applications; This is a branch of culture and information, including a system of libraries, library funds, other information, intellectual, material and technical resources of libraries, infrastructure (library science, special educational institutions, library printing). Perhaps the term "library work" is advisable to replace the term "library industry".

The term "library business" arose long before the term "library activities". The latter appeared in the 1997 terminological dictionary, and in 1986 it was not yet.

The term "library work" has developed similarly to the term "book case", "banking" when it became necessary to find a generalizing concept for expressing a variety of problems relating to libraries.

V.V. Skvortsov expands the concept of "library case", uniting to a certain extent with the concept of "library activities". Without considering a special term "library activities", the author, the author, when disclosing the object of library, calls the elements of this activity: the subject of labor, the subject of labor, the intermediary of labor. Library activities V.V. Skvortsov considers as "the process of library activities." The author characterizes this process as the creation of library services and products, as a single process, including the main and auxiliary (providing) and management activities.

The analysis shows that in the library science, when using the terms "library work" and "library activities" there is no clarity regarding the ratio of the content of these concepts.

The concept of "library work" is much wider than the concept of "library activities". "Library activities" can be predetermined as a complex of different types of work providing the fulfillment of the library (as a institution) of their basic functions and mission to society.

A holistic vision of library activities makes it possible to identify it and distinguish, what is another type of activity. Today it is relevant primarily because there are new activities related to automation, the introduction of modern information technologies. A holistic vision of library activities is necessary to manage all variety of its species, organizational structures, developing their classification, an answer to the question of maintaining or changing the essence of this activity in connection with technological and sociocultural changes.

The dying essence of library information activities.

There are practically no work on the essential characteristic of library-information activities in professional literature. The exception is the article M.I. Akilina. It considers a hire as the criterion of library phenomena, subject to the preservation of the document in the system. Before issuing a temporary use document, it is necessary to have it, and to give it several times (the library usually issues documents repeatedly), it should be stored. Therefore, storage for the library is also necessary, as well as hire. Consequently, the essence of library (library-information) activity of the system: Collection, processing, storage of documents and their provision in different ways, primarily through the rental. This activity can be called memorial-information, meaning that such a memory collects the library, processes, stores information (in the form of documents and other information objects) and distributes it by providing these objects.

The identification of essence allows you to clarify the definition of library and information activities: this kind of information activity (memorial-information), which is a set of labor processes, technological and creative, ensuring the execution of the library of basic functions to organize the collection, processing, preservation and availability of documents, other information objects and Mission to society.

The two sides of the essence of library and information activities are contradictory. At the library level as a system, this contradiction reproduces the opposite between the library foundation and users. Two different sides of library information activities, detecting its main contradiction, however, form unity and ensure the demand of the library information resources.

Throughout history, the library as a social institution, ensuring the safety of documents (which implies their collection and storage), was obliged to prevent them with loss, damage, damage. At the same time, transmitting documents to the use of readers, serving them, the library involves their possible loss or damage.

The harder (in financial and spatial terms) to store documents, the factory it is necessary to select them, leaving them. But the fact that for one is valuable for the other is not valuable. Consequently, the selection of documents deprives the average abstract reader of all the completeness of the information you need.

An analysis of this contradiction shows that it is largely due to the submission in society and the library professional environment about such versatile categories, as time (past, present and future) and value. Indeed, writing and library arose to store the past for the present and future, replacing the oral tradition of transmitting information related to the present.

In antiquity and the middle ages of the library were largely aimed at storage (i.e. for the past for the future). Understanding the ratio of the past is the present - the future as the past for the future created the image of the library as a temple, as something higher, inaccessible. Such a look at the library now to some extent preserved as a tradition, although it is real for the library for a long time there is no such relationship. Today, in connection with the introduction of information and communication technologies, in the consciousness of librarians there is a change in the proportions between the past, this and future in favor of this.

Thus, the contradiction between the safety of documents and their accessibility, in essence, expresses the contradiction between the responsibility of the library before today's user and responsibility to future generations, which will not be able to familiarize themselves with cultural values, if they are lost. This specific contradiction can be compared with such contradictions of a natural nature as heredity and variability, memorization and reproduction.

During the historical development, the role of the named opposites changed. When expanding during the accessibility of documents and information, the necessary balance between these opposites is still preserved. Expansion of availability is not impossible, it is limited by the fact that the library must maintain funds, so the availability does not extend to the distribution of books or their sales (as in the bookstore). In the library, restrictions in accessibility are organic, since the essence of the diverse and contradictory.

If the essence of library information activities lies in the unity of storage and providing documents, the exception of one of the parties to this unity will lead to the fact that the institution will cease to be a library, and will, for example, an information-broker company that provides documents and information without saving them , and getting from libraries, scientific and technical information services (NTI), archives, museums.

A more complete picture of the essence of library and information activities can be obtained by considering it in the context of human activity as a whole.

Library information activity as a system.

Library-information activity is one of the many types of activities that are carried out by a person. In works on human activity, L.S. Vygotsky, P.Ya. Galperin, A.N. Leontyev, S.L. Rubinstein, B.F. Lomoms and other scientists when characterizing it as systems allocate components such as objectives, a subject (subjects) of activity, endowed with activity, object (objects), to which the activity of the subject, means and processes of activity, the conditions in which it is committed, the results of the activity . Using a systemic - activity approach, consider library information activities. At the same time, we proceed from the two entity of this activity (Table 1).

Table 1 - Characteristics of Library Information

Components

1) in a broad sense - information resource (single document, other information facilities, document resource, electronic resource);

2) information needs of users (general, group, individual, different content);

3) From the point of view of library and information management - the library, its activities, technical means, equipment.

1) librarian;

2) Bibliographer.

3) user;

1. A combination (batch) of documents or other information objects selected by the library for users from available information resources.

The subject is transformed into the model - search images of documents and determines the results of this activity as the library fund, a reference and search apparatus.

The subject is converted into the model - the search image of the query (pos) and determines the other result of library-information activities - the service.

Collection, processing, storage of certain types of documents (other information facilities, including electronic) and satisfaction based on their needs of users in information.

Total processes - actions

Implementation of cumulation, processing, organization of the Fund; ensuring the preservation of documents; Reception and refinement of the user request, search for search, etc. (or creating conditions, library information environment for self-work of the user).

Result

Library and information products and services.

Since the document is the unity of information (content) and media, and the information has a certain value for a person, a certain value, the library cannot ignore the value aspect of the document content. The value of the content of a specific document is determined, as a rule, such parameters as relevance, novelty themes, practical utility, scientific, production and artistic importance, degree of use, accuracy of the facts presented, fullness of data, etc. The value of providing timely information (actual, semantic, ethical, aesthetic, etc.) is the most important characteristics of the object and the subject of library information and its results, respectively. In certain circumstances (for example, when working with book monuments), the library also takes into account the value forms of the publication, i.e. The value of the document as a whole.

The following concepts of the value approach to library and information activities can be distinguished:

1) the concept that has received theoretical development in the USSR as the theory of manual reading, i.e. targeted impact on the content and nature of reading;

2) The concept involving orientation only on user requests. In real practice, the library is quite flexible combines both points of view, taking into account the value orientation of society, and the preferences of users, providing the "eternal" balance and temporary values.

The system-active approach makes it possible to see the specifics of library information activities, where there are different types of subjects of subjects (librarian and user): as a subject - an object (for example, when forming a fund), as a subject - a subject (with a confidential conversation in the library), as a single subject. For example, during the refinement of the request (in the provision of documents, certificates), a single subject can be expressed by the formula "individual user - librarian", during some events (quiz, discussions) - "Collective user - librarian". In this case, the activities of the librarian and the user are jointly combined. In addition, the system-activity approach allows you to clarify the connection of the subject and the subject of activity. For example, on the one hand, for the library the subject of activity is the user's request, on the other hand, the librarian designs its subject (flow of incoming documents, a reference and search apparatus, etc.). With a systematic approach, the dynamics of the activity process at the level of algorithms are disclosed in the study of the technology of user interaction and librarian.

Library-information is a system of processes that correspond to the system of their goals and subordinate to the general goal of the library.

The characteristic of library and information funds is given in the works of L.I. Aleshina, MG Wathrysheva, M.Ya. Dvorkanov, I.S. Pilko, Yu.N. Stolyarova. These are technical equipment, equipment, bibliographic, methods, techniques and organizational forms. Means can only be used for library information activities, for example, the methods of refinement of the request, and be universal, let's say, computer products (M.G. Villaschva calls them specific and nonspecific). I.S. Pilko characterizes funds as document resources, technical, linguistic and software, as well as personnel resources.

Funds participated in the structure of resources of library and information activities. Resources - means, reserves, possibilities, sources of something. In library information activities, information resources can be distinguished, which include: Library Information Fund, reference and search apparatus, Internet resources and resources available through it different libraries and information centers, other organizations. At the same time, at the same time, these resources are the result of information activities, including library information. Therefore, it's not by chance that M.G. Vethryshva considers bibliographic resources as a global result of bibliographic practical activity. The resource and the result is also a library information environment. Like other types of human activity, library -information requires material and technical (library building, technical equipment, equipment, etc.), financial and intellectual resources. Intelligent library resources include:

The potential of librarians, including theoretical and practical development in the field of technology, methods and organization of library information activities;

Knowledge and skills, general and professional culture of specific librarians, on which the quality and efficiency of users depends;

Intellectual potential of users who affect their work in the library and stimulates the activities of librarians;

Linguistic and software library technology.

However, on the one hand, all the resources of the library are included in the production of products and services, and on the other - they are elements of the library - informational medium, a spatial and temporal field, which produces the result of library and information activities (Fig. 1).

Let us dwell on library information activities. Depending on the specific purpose, subject, object, subject, means and environmental conditions, different technological processes are implemented, creating intermediate results (for example, an index that obtained when classifying, subjects) or final results (products or services).

Products are the result of a complex of providing activities. Products are the Library Information Fund, a reference and search apparatus, bibliographic manuals. The service is the result of a service complex. This is issuing documents and certificates, preparation of the conference, presentation, etc. The overall result of library and information activities (products plus service) is a library-information product.

Library services provide user access to such public benefits as information, knowledge, culture.

Figure 1 - Production of the result of library information activities

Library service, being a social access mechanism, is a mechanism for cultural broadcast. At the same time, the services have both the economic side, because they have the cost.

Each service is characterized by content and shape. The main component of the content of the service is its subject reflecting the need that is satisfied; Services differ from each other primarily the subject.

Today, speaking of the results of library and information activities, it is important to take into account the provisions of the knowledge economy. In particular, it seems significant allocation of basic services and value-added services aimed at facilitating the consumer of the use of basic services. Value-added services, as the information service and products and products develop the market, go to the basic group, replacing new types of value-added services.

Basic services (products) in libraries may be considered a library information fund, a reference and search apparatus, including databases, bibliographic manuals, based on the value-added services _ Search for documents and information on requests, preparation of certificates, MBA services (interlibrary subscription) and electronic delivery of documents, etc.

Currently, the nomenclature of services provided to the library user has increased. The number of applicable electronic services is growing, designed not only for numerous library users, but also outside the information - educational environment.

All elements of library information activities are interconnected (for example, the type of document and user needs will determine the nature of the technological process, the qualifications of the librarian and the result of activity).

So, library information activities are a system, i.e., the set of elements in relations and connections among themselves and forming a single integer. This unity, integrity is ensured by a common goal - collecting, processing, storing certain types of documents, other information facilities, including electronic, and satisfying the needs of users in library and information services, as well as the integrative property of this system, determined by the dialion of its entity, direct and inverse relations between its elements and subsystems. We also note that this system is information and sociocultural, open, i.e. associated with the external environment and supporting oneself in response to environmental changes, a complex, self-developing system.

It should be noted that this time in the library and information activity system has several organizational levels and the corresponding subsystems: the level of a specific library as institutions, different levels of its structural units, levels of library associations (a certain industry of market economy, any territory), libraries and other organizations (for example, consortia). Therefore, it is possible to consider library-information activities as a system not only to the wool elements (see above), but also as a system of organizational structures. Depending on the levels of the organization, the nature of the self-regulation of library-information activities is also changing.

Within one library, library information activities are presented in different species that are interconnected by the goal of the goal, technology, different levels of the organization.

Thus, in the library and information activity system there are relatively autonomous subsystems for elements, types, activities of activities.

With regard to self-developing systems, new aspects of space categories - time are revealed. Building a system of new levels of organization is accompanied by a change in its internal space - time.

Library-information activity is not only a complex, self-developing system, but also a system of person product, since here a person is a component of the system that is included in it and often acts as a subject, and as an object of activity.

Communication of library and informational activities with educational.

Consider links library - informational with other activities, including with educational.

To ensure storage and provision of documents, information (information), you need to cumulate these documents, information, process them and organize them so that they become accessible to users so that they can be easily found.

The appearance (subspecies) of activity is a concept that gives a brief content characteristic of activities that provides a certain finite or significant intermediate result.

The appearance (subspecies) of the activity is not identical to the technological process (technological operation), since, on the one hand, it gives a general, and not a specific understanding of the activities, on the other hand, implies the possibility of using several variants of technological processes (operations) depending on the specific purpose, Subject, object, conditions, etc. .

In the scientific classification of library and information activities, various features are used (see Appendix a).

The study examines library-information activity as a system, characterizes its elements, which has both theoretical and practical importance for further fixation and analysis of changes in this activity. The study of the nature of links of library - informational with other activities, on the one hand, shows its wide representation and significance in the structure of human activity, on the other, has a practical application, in particular, to determine the place of library - information activities in the educational process.

To identify the development trends that have been scheduled for changes in library information activities in relationship with educational as a system, consider the evolution of library activities.
