Academic library strategies: new and perspective directions for research support

The article substantiates the strategic role of the scientific library in the development of the educational and research environment, the infrastructure of a scientific organization, work with the main target audiences - students, researchers and teachers. Libraries' strategic plans, based on external and internal analysis, industry trends and user preferences, are a vital source of information on future directions. An analysis of 23 strategies of university libraries from different countries (USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, China, etc.), identified as a result of monitoring sites, made it possible to determine the vectors of their development in the coming years. It is determined that the university library strives to become a competent and service-oriented partner for these groups of users, as well as the intellectual, social and technological center of the scientific community through the design of a modern physical space (rooms for individual and group work, various quiet and communication zones, as well as separate workplaces with the provision of computers, wireless Internet access, 3D printers, scanners, etc.,), as well as the creation of a virtual environment that allows you to provide services and resources remotely 24/7. 4 strategic directions in the activities of academic libraries have been established: development of infrastructure and space; generation of heterogeneous electronic resources, including text and other types of information; strategic partnership “librarian-researcher” in an open science environment; training in information literacy and media skills. It was noted that librarians expand the range of services in accordance with the open access policies adopted by scientific institutions, develop institutional repositories, create the research data management services, participate in regional, national and international initiatives such as HathiTrust and others, expand access to scientific collection, implement forms of support for open data, open source software, open educational resources, and open knowledge. These services are strategically important in the development of academic libraries. he study showed that libraries remain in demand in the provision of reference and information services, despite the widespread use of open access resources. The research results can be used in the development of strategies for the development of scientific libraries and the improvement of information and library services for users.
