The exposition contains materials about the latest world new developments used in the library activities, about domestic and foreign experience of entry of libraries in the digital age.
Information technologies don’t only create conditions for competition between libraries and the Internet, but they also provide new opportunities for library and bibliographic activities. A number of books includes the detailed description of the experience on the effective management of libraries during the global economic crisis, the learning of information culture of users, the use of the Internet at all library processes, beginning with the acquisition and processing of books to the service of readers.

The pioneers of these worlds generously share with their vision, experience, and the results of practical work of virtual libraries in the pages of their monographs.
