Historic reference

History of the the methodological service is closely related to the emergence and development of the methodological activities of the Research Library. Its development reflects the real needs of the library practice and includes the following steps:

In 1952 the Library organized an academic seminar for discussing methodological issues of library work.

In 1966 the Library established a methodological room within the Scientific and Bibliographic Office. There were methodological literature and documentation, developed by the Library divisions.

In 1971 the Library organized the Scientific-Methodical Department which operated for 27 years until 1998. In 1998 it was transformed into a division of scientific-methodical work and sociological research.

In 2014 the Library established the Department of Collaboration & Library Technology based on this division.
