Peculiarities of Digitalization and Publishing in the Work of Leading Libraries of Ukraine

Abstract: The article analyzes the activities of the leading university libraries of Ukraine and outlines the impact of the digitalization process on them. The article presents an improved system of criteria for evaluation and analysis of the libraries’ work. The activities of the G.I. Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, the M. Maksymovych Scientific Library of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, and the Scientific Library of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. University libraries today are turning into information centers. Modern users’ needs are drivers for the process, and it helps to raise the level of the educational process, as well as improves scientific communication. Digitalization makes it possible to expand the range of services that a library can provide. This process has a positive impact on the number of users. To determine the level of digitalization implementation, we have improved the system of criteria that were developed. All features were grouped into the following criteria: technical, organizational, informational, and legal. The study used the methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization. The study revealed that digitalization has a positive impact on the libraries’ activities, and the analyzed libraries’ activities showed that these institutions are actively developing their communication with users, improving their work and functioning as information centers. Prospects for further research are an empirical study of the libraries’ work, namely, an analysis of user satisfaction with the services provided by the libraries.

Keywords: digitalization, publishing, electronic publications, national library, specialized library.
