Evaluating the quality of research activities: Investigating into the uniqueness
Today, the research activities of scientists and research organizations is estimated through the informetrical methods (bibliometrics) with absolute and relative indicators based on the number of publications and their citations in scientometric databases. The leading authors and research organizations are given grants and awards, become international laureates, get financial support or other dividends. The authors argue that the method of research activities evaluation influences the authors’ behavior and increases plagiarism, rigged citation and academic dishonesty. The fraud practices misrepresent the estimations of research activities quality and the current status of a discipline and publication activities. The problem is analyzed; simultaneous use of bibliometric methods and most advanced scientific methods of modern methods of defining writing styles is suggested as a solution. The authors emphasize that traditionally libraries are meant to educate, to popularize knowledge and to inform. Today, they have to go into non-traditional functions, i.e. to support linguistic research and to build linguistic corpora. This would prevent manipulations when estimating publication activities with bibliometric methods and would promote academic honesty in academic practices.

Timing approaches toward scientific organization of webinars in libraries
Due to advancing information and communication technologies webinars have become a means of continuing education which demands methodological support and standardization. The authors analyze the methods of labor rating, in particular, timing of technological and organizational processes. The factors of time input for webinar organization are defined: i. e. number of lecturers, including those remote ones, various formats and number of demonstrated materials (presentations, video, audio, texts, links), scenario multitasking (for example, polling, displaying related materials, linking, etc.), simultaneous broadcasting to another videohosting (i.e YouTube). The list of technological processes for webinar organization is presented along with the findings of labor rating as exemplified by the NPLS&T’s experience. The calculations of real time consumed are obtained through the judgment-based method as well as through the continuous timing method. The authors conclude on the rate between real-life and typical timing of webinar organization and the proportion of this time within working hours in NPLS&T.

Dynamics of the demand for the union Internet-catalog of books and periodicals in the collections of the RAS LNS Centralized Library System
The organization principles and retrieval functionalities of RAS LNS Centralized Library System union Internet-catalog of books and periodicals are examined. The catalog embraces every publication centrally acquired into the collections of over 50 RAS research institutions within RAS LNS Centralized Library System. The catalog entries are generated within “Bibliobus” integrated library system designed by RAS LNS professionals. Unlike other Internet-catalogs oriented toward the search logic of the traditional catalogs, the RAS LNS catalog enables to process practically unlimited range of queries embracing any elements of bibliographic entries and subject headings linked with Boolean operators “AND”, “OR”, “AND NOT”. Adding complexity of the search interface was chosen to minimize noise. To define whether the clients use the advanced search functionality and how often they do so, the analysis of demand was accomplished. The comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis data characterizes the
