The main means of providing access to the results of scientific research are considered. The study analyzes statistics that clearly demonstrate the main trends in the field of scientific communications on a global scale.

This scientific article discusses the topic of creation and keep up to date the internet portal of a network library, using the example of the Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LNS RAS).

The reasons for the inaccessibility of scientific publications for scientists are analysed, a description of the process of formation of the idea of open access is given, and an overview of the current state of affairs in publishing scientists' achievements in open access is given.

Neural networks have come to process huge amounts of information, extract its essence, compose a coherent text on their basis that cannot be distinguished from a human one, and conduct a conversation, taking context into account.

Interview with Oleg Shoriny, one of the conference organisers and Deputy Director of the National Library of Russia for Informatisation

In the course of implementation of the National electronic library project there is an issue of consolidation of electronic catalogs of various libraries from all over the country.

In order to automate the processing of data collected in the National Electronic Library, these data need to be published in an open electronic format that permits for interrelations between different entities to be taken into account.

The present paper discusses the use of a function belonging to the locality-sensitive hashing family, with additional optimisations, for the identification of duplicate bibliographic records.

The National Electronic Library (NEL) project has been under development since 2004. Initially, only two libraries participated in the project: the National Library of Russia and the Russian State Library.
