Russian Electronic Resources in Collection Development of the Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology

Galina A. Evstigneeva and Galina V. Krylova

Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia

The Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology has traditionally been and is currently acquiring Russian language paper materials by receiving deposit copies from the Russian Book Chamber. The concept of pervasiveness of a deposit copy dictates the need to use external digital resources – electronic libraries, archives and collections, electronic library systems. Acquiring of all of these sources of information depending on their access features and specifics of library services also meets the definition of «collection development». The article provides a general view of the collection of the Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology and the ways of its development. Specific examples show the status of some library materials available online. Reasons are offered in support of using remote access electronic resources as well as widening the variety of library materials and making subscription models more flexible.

Keywords: acquisitions, library collection, electronic document, deposit copy, ELS, electronic library system, electronic library, remote access.
