University Library

The library of a higher education institution serves as the university’s main information center. Despite the variety of ways it can be defined, the library occupies a special place as the information foundation for both educational and research processes. Its role has become even more significant today due to the modernization and informatization of higher education, as well as the growing demand for educational services. Under these conditions, any library must respond promptly to user requests, requirements, and suggestions while continuously improving the professional competencies of its staff.

The library and the university operate within a single information space and serve as a unified source of knowledge for students. Therefore, the effectiveness of supporting innovations in the educational process largely depends on the quality of the library’s partnership with the university. Modern computer technologies, projects, and innovative solutions are actively integrated into the library’s operations. Real steps are taken to enhance its research activities and strengthen technical infrastructure.

Scientific work holds an important place in the library’s activities, including:

• Formation and use of the library’s scientific collection

• Improvement of user service technologies

• Publication of scientific and reference bibliographies

• Study of the informational potential of rare and antique editions

• Creation of electronic bibliographic databases

• Information support for faculty research

• Analytical processing of information

The mission of the university library includes the following objectives:

• Create and offer modern information products and services that best meet the educational and research needs of users.
