Currently libraries start to be perceived everywhere not only as socially significant cultural and educational institution, but also as a significant agent of urban and regional development. In some cases, the appearance of the library, which is becoming “an icon of the city”, is dramatically changing the way of life and the vector of economic development in the region. That’s why the attention of politicians and businessmen in the planning of large-scale urban facilities has increasingly switched to libraries. Numerous studies also confirm the growing popularity and interest to the library services and opportunities among various strata and social groups of population around the world. The libraries themselves and moreover the activities that occur around them, have a significant impact on the urban development ― today it is the reality already proved by the analysis.	2015, no. 3 pp. 112–120

This Collection of Jewish and Arabic books and manuscripts of Baron Ginzburg is considered to be one of the treasures of the Russian State Library. The manuscript part of the Collection consists of 1913 units of the 14th — 19th centuries. In 2010 the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu during his official visit to the Russian Federation raised the issue of transfer of the Ginzburg Collection to Israel “as a reciprocal gesture of good will” (the building of St. Sergius Metochion in Jerusalem was returned to the Russian Federation at the end of 2008). The search of documents relating to the fate of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in Russia held in the Russian archives produced unexpected results. After the First World War the Society of Friends of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem (JNUL), created in London, got interested in the Ginzburg Collection. At the beginning of the 1920s representatives of JNUL claimed that Baronesse M. Ginzburg had been paid in advance and there had been drawn the act of purchase and sale of the Collection. However, they did not submit any documents which could confirm the version of sale of the Collection. By that time books and manuscripts were nationalized as scientific treasures and got held at the Rumyantsev Museum. The Museum leadership and Soviet Jewish community objected the idea of transfer of the Collection. Director of JNUL G. Leve appealed to V. I. Lenin, to A. Lunacharsky, the People’s Commissar of Education, and to other leaders of the Soviet Russia to solve the matter concerning the transfer of the Collection to Jerusalem. The request was supported by the famous scientist Albert Einstein. His letters to A. Lunacharsky are published for the first time.	2015, no. 4 pp. 52–57

Book — Reading — Reader	Smetannikova Natal’ja Nikolaevna	President of the Russian Association of Reading, Candidate of Psychological Sciences, Professor	Relationship of Reading with the Models of Education	Education throughout Life, the Role of Reading, Classic and Modern Literature, Reading of Boys, Variety of Texts	There is discussed the change of the pattern of reading due to transition from the model of “Education in early life” to the model “Education throughout life”. Fractional education modifies the curriculum, what leads to the imbalance of reading roles. Thus, classic literature, which is the custodian of cultural and moral values of society, occurs on the fringes of education. Pupils and students are barely acquainted with the modern literature, which is necessary not only for socialization of individual, but also for the formation of such mental action as inference. Purposeful training to reading strategies in the classroom at all subjects makes the process more efficient and frees up time for the accompanying study of the subject of reading. The model of “Reading throughout life” is complemented by “Reading in all spheres of life” model; it is assumed acquaintance with the texts of different genres, styles, types, and kinds. Reading of girls and boys is different. The article provides examples from studies of the Russian Association of Reading, as well as practical recommendations on organization of reading of boys using the materials of Russian and foreign studies.	2015, no. 4 pp. 58–62

It was a period of rapid development of book publishing, periodicals issuing, development of scientific and professional societies in Azerbaijan. All that processes were accompanied by the development of bibliographic activities. In the latter half of the XIX century there took place intensive accumulation of Oriental manuscripts and printed sources in the Russian cultural centers, particularly in St. Peterburg, Moscow and Kazan. A lot of valuable culture and art objects came to Russia from Azerbaijan. Despite the significant advance in the development of bibliographic resources of Azerbaijan, the work on their formation did not become a systematic activity. It was caused primarily by the lack of state policy in that area. There was also lack of the potential personnel, engaged in library and bibliografic activities at the professional level.	2015, no. 4 pp. 88–91

Leve, V. I. Lenin, A. Lunacharsky, A. Einstein, Jerusalem library	The article describes the history of appearance of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in the holdings of the Russian State Library. This Collection of Jewish and Arabic books and manuscripts of Baron Ginzburg is considered to be one of the treasures of the Russian State Library. The manuscript part of the Collection consists of 1913 units of the 14th — 19th centuries. In 2010 the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu during the official visit to the Russian Federation raised the issue of transfer of the Ginzburg Collection to Israel “as a reciprocal gesture of good will” (the building of St. Sergius Metochion in Jerusalem was returned to the Russian Federation at the end of 2008). The search of documents relating to the fate of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in Russia held in the Russian archives produced unexpected results. After the First World War the Society of Friends of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem (JNUL), created in London, got interested in the Ginzburg Collection. At the beginning of the 1920s representatives of JNUL claimed that Baronesse M. Ginzburg has been paid in advance and there has been drawn the act of purchase and sale of the Collection. However they did not submit any documents which could confirm the version of sale of the Collection. By that time books and manuscripts were nationalized as scientific treasures and got held at the Rumyantsev Museum. The Museum leadership and Soviet Jewish community objected the idea of transfer of the Collection. Director of JNUL G. Leve appealed to V. Lenin, to A. Lunacharsky, the People’s Commissar of Education, and to other leaders of the Soviet Russia to solve the matter concerning the transfer of the Collection to Jerusalem. The request was supported by the famous scientist Albert Einstein. His letters to A. Lunacharsky are published for the first time.	2015, no. 5 pp. 58–63

Tchaikovsky in the Editions of P.I. Jurgenson: the Problem of Dating	P.I. Tchaikovsky, P.I. Jurgenson, Spiritual Music, Edition, Dating, Output Data Area, Series Leaflet	P.I. Jurgenson was the only publisher of spiritual music by P.I. Tchaikovsky. Generally, those works were published immediately after creation (except for the spiritual hymn “The Angel Cried”, released in 1906, when neither the composer nor the founder of the publishing company were no longer alive). The thorough study of the available copies of the spiritual music by Tchaikovsky in the collections of the Library of the Moscow Conservatory allowed to presume that Jurgenson (and after 1903 his heirs) regularly republished those works, because the demand was apparently incredibly high. The presence of different kinds of printing details and identification of individual visual differences in those publications have led to certain adjustments in attribution of separate musical editions, appeared during the period of almost 40 years (from 1880 up to 1917). The developed method of more accurate dating, tested on the materials of spiritual music by Tchaikovsky, is applicable to any other work by this author and, more broadly, by any other composer, who printed his opuses at Jurgenson.	2016 (Vol. 1), no. 1 pp. 61–66

Kolosov and by the unknown author.

Ranganathan, Raja Rammohan Roy Library Foundation	This article is devoted to the formation and development of system of public libraries in India and their place in the educational, social, cultural and informational space of the country. The formation of the library system in India occurred during the complex colonial and post-colonial periods of its history. It took place in the conditions of underdevelopment, the uneven social, political and cultural development of the regions, ethnolinguistic disunity, and mass illiteracy of the population, dominating in the society of caste, religious and gender prejudices. The article demonstrates that public libraries in India, beginning with their appearance in the first half of the 19th century, had a special mission. They were considered not only as repositories of books, but, first of all, as centers of education, aimed to spread the knowledge, fight with ignorance by introducing to the reading, to raise the cultural and intellectual level of Indian society, thereby contributing to its prosperity. The article describes the main stages and directions of state policy of India in the field of librarianship from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century, recounts the history of the founding of the National library, emphasized the role of Raja Rammohan Roy Library Foundation.

Corps of Military Engineers, Engineer and Sapper Officers’ Libraries, Catalogues of Books, Regimental History	Recently there appeared quite a lot of publications on the history of military libraries of pre-revolutionary Russia. There arose the question, how many of them there were and why it was so important to know their quantity? In response to this question, first of all, we can discuss the classification of military libra-ries. Basing on the obtained quantitative data we can determine the eligibility of use of the terms “Military Library System” and “System of Military Librarianship”, applied to the libraries of the Ministry of War. Besides that, considering the number of military libraries, we can compare them with the other book collections. In the article on the basis of the pre-revolutionary sources there is counted for the first time the number of engineer and sapper officers’ libraries in the Corps of military engineers. Reliability basis for counting the number of libraries is made by the “Regulations” of 1838, 1863, 1889, orders of the engineering Department, some catalogues of the books, regimental history, and annual summarized publications of journals on the number of its subscribers. On the basis of the above documents and publications there is consistently analyzed the growth dynamics of the officers’ libraries in the Corps of military engineers.	2016 (Vol. 1), no. 2 pp. 205–216

There are presented the basic meanings of the “type” concept. There exist two approaches to its understanding: practical (pragmatic, ontological) that is often used in everyday life, and scientific (theoretical, logical), more legitimate in professional practice and science. In library science “classification” and “typology” concepts are used in parallel, sometimes considered to be equivalent synonyms, but there is a substantial difference between them. There is analyzed and presented in a table correlation between “typology” and “classification” concepts. There is discussed the development of problem of library typology in the national and foreign library science. There are presented parameters of library activities proposed by the library scientists to be the type forming criteria. Development of electronic libraries, that has become commonplace today, led to the problem of finding place for them in typological schemes or creating their own typology. There are highlighted two key parameters (criteria of classification): sphere of servicing, maintained social activities and area of interaction with the user. It is justified importance of the development of the problem of library typology for the theory and practice of librarianship. Development of criteria for grouping and structuring the libraries will help the orientation in library and information space, improvement of the requirements and approaches to the management of library institutions, training of experts in different library and information areas.	2016 (Vol. 65), no. 3 pp. 258–268

The notion of “acquisition” extends not only to the library’s own collection, but also to remote access electronic resources. The forthcoming of new acquisition objects and new acquisition methods in the electronic environment has broadened the traditional acquisition process. Materials acquired to the library’s own collection and licensed by the library have different forms of storage and methods for providing users’ services. The method of dividing the collection in a temporary and permanent parts based on the form of documents’ ownership is considered, and the properties of documents related to the temporary collection — aggregation, chronological characteristics of material availability, renewability, legal conditions — are described. Online electronic resources features affect the properties of a temporary collection, such as reliability, dynamics, selectivity. Traditional acquisition processes have been replaced by the new processes — licensing, maintenance of financial documents for payment of services on access, registration of licensed online electronic documents. Nowadays the libraries should transform the collection development processes in terms of working with remote access electronic resources.	2016 (Vol. 65), no. 3 pp. 269–276

In Russia in the 18th century the reforms of social system under Peter the Great and Catherine the Great influenced the development of education and increase of literacy rate. As a result, noblewomen joined the reading as an intellectual activity. In 1779 N.I. Novikov published the first women’s magazine that marked the start of publication of books and magazines for women. In Japan, the first women’s magazine was published by hands of men in 1884 to enlighten women during the Meiji Era (1868—1912), when Japan underwent metamorphosis from the feudal society to a modern monarchy and introduced the new national system of governance, including education. The emergence of women’s magazines in Japan is also related to the increase of female readers and development of system of girl’s education as an instrument of state policy. There was difference in how the concept of “woman – dutiful wife and devoted mother” was introduced in Russian and Japanese societies, but it was adopted in both countries as dominant ideology for women’s education. It is concluded that women’s magazines from the government point of view, based on the concept “woman – dutiful wife and devoted mother”, were used to a certain extent as study guide for character education of perfect women.	2016 (Vol. 65), no. 3 pp. 323–328

To make sure that libraries will be really demanded in the post-industrial information society, there is needed to realize the following: firstly, what is the essence of axiological function of library; secondly, what type of value is the social institution of library itself; thirdly, whether Russia needs the value of this type in the era of globalization.

There are presented results of monitoring of the network of public and municipal libraries for the period of 2012—2015, performed by the National Library of Russia within the framework of the All-Russian project “Corporate Full-Text Database ‘The Central Libraries of the Russian Federation’” (http://clrf.nlr.ru). There are designated the key transformations of the regional library networks: reorganization and liquidation of libraries, disunity and heterogeneity, instability and variability of the network structure. These changes are directly related to the goals and priority tasks of the Federal statistical observation over public libraries; which influence the formation of the objective view on the scope of work, directions of activities and resources of different types of libraries, on the actual level of availability of libraries in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, on the status of library services in the country. There are identified problems of the existing tools of the Federal statistical observation: absence of consolidated data on the activity libraries of all types, the wrong reflection in statistics of the most important indicators, different regional approaches to filling in the forms of the Federal statistical reporting. Taking into account the real situation of libraries, there are formulated the actual proposals on changing the form of Code of Annual report of public libraries administered by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

There is discussed the question of reduction of libraries’ involvement in search and retrieval of information, required for readers’ professional activities and personal development. The Internet ability is assumed to reduce the role or even entirely replace the libraries not only in providing information on printed and electronic publications, but also in providing publications themselves to the users. One of the solutions to this problem may be an innovative approach to the information bibliographic activities of various types of libraries. To take a worthy place in the system of information search and retrieval, the libraries need to turn into the actual mediator between the readers and the book. To implement this goal the libraries need to not only timely post in open access the high quality information bibliographic resources and provide online services, but to make them comfortable and attractive to contemporary users. On the example of the Russian State Library there are discussed the possibilities of creation of electronic bibliographic resources and, primarily, the new ways of their representation in Internet. It is shown that the use of online technologies in creation of the bibliographic information allows the bibliographer to communicate directly with readers, getting feedback, considering the requests, discussing the topics, interesting for the users. There are determined the prospects of joining the efforts of libraries on creation and reflection in Internet of bibliographic resources, available in common access.	2016 (Vol. 65), no. 4 pp. 403–408

Nartov, Medal Art, Russian Book of the 18th century	The article is devoted to an obscure Russian brochure of the 18th century, containing a chronicle of the journey of Peter the Great to Paris in 1717. Instead of the title page that anonymous edition had a description of a medal minted at the Royal Mint in the presence of the Tsar. The peculiar feature of chronicle narration of the visit is that the events of May, 1717 were described briefly with errors; however, June events were covered in more details. The author ascertained that the text of the brochure was almost completely borrowed from a book by J. Rousset de Missy “Notes on the Reign of Peter the Great” which was published in Holland in French language after Peter the Great death. The author of the book, in turn, borrowed the information from the Paris newspaper “Le Nouveau Mercure”. In several cases the Russian publisher supplemented the story on the journey with the material, quite similar to literary fiction. The author of the brochure was Andrey Andreevich Nartov (1737—1813), a well-known writer, statesman and public person in Catherine’s time. He was also the author of a collection of historical anecdotes under the title “Memorable Narrations and Speeches of Peter the Great”. Both works by Nartov were made as compilations from European sources, added by the author’s fiction.	2016 (Vol. 65), no. 4 pp. 418–423

Titov	Book Design, Graphics, Cover, Art Deco, B.B. Titov	The article is devoted to the artwork of B.B. Titov, one of the most prolific and original domestic book artists, whose heritage is still understudied. Analyzing numerous covers and a few illustrative cycles, created by the master during the 1920s—1930s, the author reveals the characteristic features of the book graphics of B.B. Titov, as well as the circle of his favourite themes and techniques. In the laconic figurative drawings by the artist (usually contour or silhouette) there appeared characteristic of that age understanding of book graphics as a very conditional art, designed to reveal not common specifics, but “symbolism of images”. In a most diverse and inventive manner the book artist works with the most hackneyed symbolic objects (hammer and sickle, two-headed eagle), each time playing with these characters in new ways, turning them into ornamental elements. Non-objective covers by Titov, often only associatively connected with the title and content of the book, designed very unusually, clearly detect proximity of the master to Art Deco style. Individuality of the artist appeared as well in a purely typography work, where letters and numbers, as if endowed with human characters, sometimes acting pretty strange, enter into complex relationships. Highly distinctive artwork of B.B. Titov, who managed to synthesize very different from each other stylistic trends, who defined the “graphic outlook” of the products of such major publishers and publishing houses as Gosizdat, “Federatsia” (Federation), “Zemlya i Fabrika” (Land and Factory), “Proletarian” — is extremely interesting and significant, however, undervalued phenomenon of the Russian book culture.	2016 (Vol. 65), no. 4 pp. 436–442
