The development of an information platform for librarians

Abstract

The shift from the traditional form of managing a library has become achievable with the advancement and implementation of cutting-edge IT technologies. Such global changes are driven by the development of digital document spaces and the necessity for libraries to define their place in these domains by harmonising traditional and digital technologies. All the changes occurring around the world have also led to the restructuring of library systems. Developing new library models along with digitalisation will increase library services to a higher level. In this article, we define the library sector. Theoretically, most libraries rely on research conducted by Russian and foreign colleagues. Due to the lack of studies on developing information platforms in Kazakhstan, this study attempts to analyse the theoretical issues posed by scholars-librarians. The article identifies the issues and challenges in developing selection criteria for electronic documents and concludes by suggesting further research on this topic.
