V. Mayakovsky TsNMB - Central Scientific medical library TsNSKhB - Central Scientific Agricultural Library of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences ARL - Association of Research Libraries (Association of Scientific Libraries) RLG - Research Library Group PREFACE The reference publication is dedicated to working with a huge array of electronic documents - their search, processing, accounting, storage and use in library. In terms of content, it continues the previous reference books for librarians, bibliographers, and information workers1, which reflect significant changes in the life of libraries associated with the use of modern information technologies. Only the first generation of guidelines and standards for typing, describing and recording electronic documents has been created in the country. The current experience of domestic libraries in the development of electronic information resources requires continuous generalization. Therefore, employees from various libraries and universities took part in the work on the reference book. Authors from Novgorod, Orenburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg analyze the state of the electronic part of the collections and projects of more than 300 public libraries. Employees of the Central State Public Library named after. V. V. Mayakovsky conducted a special survey, and also described in detail the development of the fund of electronic documents in the Center for Business and Legal Information in the dynamics of its development over 11 years. The changing list of electronic publications of this fund reflects the most complex solutions completists about the acquisition or refusal of individual sources, helps to see their significant assortment to fulfill a wide range of reader requests. A review of electronic local history resources of Russian libraries is presented. For operational needs, an application “100”, unconventional for reference books, has been prepared practical advice", as well as a glossary of basic terms and useful tables , which will facilitate the development of new technological techniques. In particular, an electronic assistant “Internet navigator for the order picker” has been proposed. Theoretical aspects of working with electronic documents are presented in the minimum volume of the first section: many issues are still very controversial and will not soon acquire the status of a coherent theory in the changing world of network communications. From the proposed materials one can see that a modern library employee has already appreciated the advantages of the gift of the 20th century - high-speed search and rapid network access to remote arrays of multimedia information. The library community is clearly aware of the negative user properties of machine-readable information and strives to reduce their impact on the readership.

Minkin. -SPb.: Profession, 2005. 14 Preface tion technologies do not reduce the status of the intellectual profession of a librarian, but allow it to be strengthened and enriched. For the first time, the experience of libraries in the field of library, reference and bibliographic services for local and remote users has been combined: the creation of a virtual reference service, electronic delivery of documents, an electronic archive of completed references; organizing business information centers and media libraries; preparation of guidebooks and digests of the local press. In the electronic environment, you can simply and quickly provide an external document to the reader, but the processes of selecting documents according to content and quality criteria, description and systematization, and long-term storage of electronic documents become more complex. The largest section of the reference book is devoted to the most important technological problems. The authors of this section are innovators seeking to make it easier for public libraries to adapt to the new conditions of working with “hybrid” (mixed) collections. The section contains bits and pieces of useful material about specific topical issues of acquisition, processing, accounting, storage, and analysis of electronic resources. Peter Waters, a well-known expert in the field of document conservation and a participant in the rescue efforts of many foundations, called the 20th century a “black hole of information”: a huge part of the data was lost, destroyed or made inaccessible due to software changes. A special section presents materials on the information security of the electronic part of the collections - conditions of storage, backup, access authorization, etc. The library today is becoming an active creator and publisher, posting its electronic catalogs, local history collections, guidebooks, indexes, reviews on the Internet . In this regard, the librarian-bibliographer for the first time enters into serious legal relations with a wide range of individuals and institutions. The editors managed to find not lawyers, but library workers who had gone through the difficult path of practical mastery of issues of copyright and related rights and the library. There are no clear recommendations in this section yet, but there are none in the legislative acts themselves. The main thing is that a wide range of legal situations for libraries of any type is shown. The section conventionally called “Organizational basis for working with electronic documents” was very difficult to develop. It includes “additional” technologies - searching for extra-budgetary funding for informatization projects, posting library electronic resources on the Internet, and many others. The editors deliberately abandoned a complicated version of presenting these issues: it is hardly advisable to deliberately create a barrier to their development. As a rule, significant recommendations are offered in a fairly simple form: experienced employees will use additional literature in the field of management and computer technology. This publication cannot yet be fully called a reference manual - this is the first generalization of useful information about working with electronic documents. The editors considered it necessary to preserve many of the author's ideas, as well as the emotional style of presentation in certain sections (in particular, the narrative about electronic resources in the field of fiction and art, a professional approach to the problems of information retrieval). The editors also apologize for unintentional errors, possible omissions, and lost email addresses. The work on the reference book made it possible to identify stable trends in the development of electronic resources by libraries: The “peaceful coexistence” of electronic and printed publications will continue, and the definition of “hybrid” library, introduced into the international lexicon, will be lost as unnecessary. Libraries will become increasingly involved in the creation of electronic documents and their own collections. The subordination of all library processes to the quality of user service is being strengthened. The next generations of readers will differ significantly both in information behavior and in the range of requests to the library. In this regard, electronic educational materials, interactive guides, and the creation of a distributed reference service for remote users and centers for questions at libraries are relevant in the collections. social protection population, consumer rights, employment, etc. The publication is intended for managers and employees of public libraries; it will be useful for students of cultural universities and library colleges, as well as a wide range of creators of electronic collections in institutions and enterprises. In professional library life, intensive work is being carried out on the problems of informatization of libraries, and their innovative experience is widely revealed. The editors thank each of the participants in the difficult innovative life in libraries. The authors express personal gratitude for useful tips and rich publications for the presenter researcher department of acquisition of international literature of the RSL IT. N. Litvinova, leading Russian specialists in the field of library science and bibliography A. N. Vaneev, prof. SPbGUKI, I. G. Morgenstern, prof. Chelyabinsk State Academy of Culture and Arts. A serious indicator of active work with electronic resources of public libraries is the “Guide to local history resources on library sites”, available on the Internet (RNB http://www.nlr.ru/res/inv/kray, RBA http://www .rba.ru/ir/index.htmt). Its compilers thank the staff of RN B - editor N.M. Balatskaya and webmaster V.A. Chernousova for their help in systematizing the material, posting and updating the resource, but most importantly - all the local historians who created such wonderful and diverse electronic collections in their libraries websites. 16 Preface Sincere gratitude is addressed to the leaders of the Central State Public Library named after. V. V. Mayakovsky - 3. V. Chalova, O. Yu. Ustinova and M. V. Konyukhova for organizing and conducting research on the use of electronic resources of public libraries in St. Petersburg, as well as specialists from Orenburg and Veliky Novgorod. The team of authors will gratefully accept reviews, comments, and specific recommendations from colleagues and will definitely take them into account in future work. Please send your comments and suggestions to: 191002, St. Petersburg, PO Box 600, Profession Publishing House or by email: [email protected] SECTION 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT Content of the concept of “electronic document” With the active work of libraries with electronic materials in international library practice, there is a continuous discussion of the types of electronic documents, promising possibilities for their processing, storage and use. Methodological decisions are made at different levels - international, sectoral, for certain types of libraries. In Russia, concepts basic to the profession are defined in industry and interindustry standards (GOST 7.83-2001 “Electronic publications. Basic types and output information”, GOST 7.82-2001 “Bibliographic record. Bibliographic description of electronic resources. General requirements and rules for compilation” and etc.). The following phrases have been widely used as starting points for the library profession: “electronic information resources”, “electronic document”, “electronic publication”. The concept of “electronic information resources” is the type-forming concept, and private varieties of electronic documents are called “electronic publication”, “electronic book”, “electronic journal”, etc. Resources that do not have a close prototype in the form of printed documents are designated without definition “ “electronic” - website, page, “live journal”, “chat session”, etc. The boundaries between them are very arbitrary, and for a long time the subordination and content of these terms will be clarified by specialists. GOST 7.82-2001 “Bibliographic record. Bibliographic Description of Electronic Resources” standardizes in a professional dictionary the basic concept of “electronic information resources” as computer-controlled resources, including those that require the use of a peripheral device connected to the computer. Electronic resources represent electronic data (information in the form of numbers, letters, symbols or combinations thereof), electronic programs (sets of operators or subroutines that perform specific tasks, including data processing) or a combination of these types in one resource. In accordance with current GOSTs, electronic resources, depending on the access mode, are divided into local and remote access resources. Electronic publications are classified according to the following criteria: 18 Section 1. General idea of ​​an electronic document distribution technology; the nature of interaction between the user and the electronic publication; availability of printed equivalent; the nature of the underlying information; structure; periodicity; method of presenting information; purpose of the electronic publication. The first attempt to standardize the status of an electronic document was undertaken by the Federal State Scientific and Technical Center “Informregister”, which developed GOST 7.83-2001 “Electronic publications. ()main types and output information”, which has interstate status. The main goal of GOST is to streamline the provision of output data in electronic publications, similar to those accepted for printed publications. The requirements of library and bibliographic processing and collection accounting make it possible in the coming years to preserve “electronic document” as the main working term: “a document on a machine-readable medium, the use of which requires computer technology” (GOST 7.83-2001); “a document in which information is presented in electronic digital form”1 (FZ “On informatization information and information protection”). Electronic documents, previously called “machine-readable”, “digital” documents, “computer files”, are a relatively new, diverse, but very rapidly developing type of information product, for which fixation on a specific medium is not always a clear distinguishing feature. Electronic documents can be presented on physically tangible discrete media, for example, optical disks, or in fact have an exclusively digital form in information arrays of the Internet, in relation to which the very concept of “media” is used very conditionally. A distributed database can be stored on a number of servers in different institutions and countries. Modern electronic documents can be recorded simultaneously in several formats, on many media, including printed media. The sign of the document's intended purpose, which limits the scope of its distribution in society, remains essential for the library. Libraries work with electronic documents intended for widespread or local use in society. Taking into account the results of the discussion of the above and other definitions, an “electronic document” can be understood as a meaningfully coherent information there is no definition of an electronic document 19 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS a formation intended for use in society and recorded in electronic digital form. More stringent requirements are imposed on the characteristics of those documents that are classified in the group of electronic publications. GOST 7.83-2001 provides the following definition: “Electronic publication is an electronic document (group of electronic documents) that has undergone editorial and publishing processing, intended for distribution in unchanged form, with output information.” Unfortunately, the requirements of editorial and publishing preparation, text immutability and constancy of quantitative characteristics are rarely met for the majority of Internet resources. For this reason (according to the definition), only electronic versions and analogues of printed publications - dictionaries, encyclopedias, database-certified magazines - can be fully recognized as publications. Due to the dynamism of computer technologies for the preparation and dissemination of information, more detailed definitions are gradually losing such features as format, semantic code, symbolic nature, immutability of content, purpose and reader purpose of the document, its quantitative characteristics, etc. In particular, according to the definition According to V.N. Ageev, “electronic publishing is the process and result of organizing an author’s work of any iconic nature into an information product on a digital medium in a way that allows for its long-term storage and distribution in an unchanged form to an unlimited number of users through a computer environment”1. Despite the attempt to characterize a document through its authorization and integrity (“work”, “result”), this interpretation also shows a direct analogy with the definition of traditional printed publications. In particular, publications on paper have a finished form - their content cannot be changed, and the publishing process includes a full cycle of editorial and publishing processing, during which the appearance of the document is formed in accordance with accepted rules. The content of many Internet documents is constantly changing, and the process of posting them on the Internet often does not ensure the passage of editorial procedures: each owner of an Internet site is a publisher. The signs of “long-term storage”, “unchanged appearance” are achieved in the library only by transferring an electronic document to a local medium - optical, hard drive, etc. The sign of “unlimited circle of users” for an online publication is relevant provided that the library there is appropriate permission from the copyright holder in the form of a clause in the license agreement (see subsection “Copyright and related rights in the processes of using electronic technologies”). Thus, the overwhelming number of web resources do not fall under the definition of an electronic publication, among which the “elementary particle” is a web page - a document with a static or dynamic structure1 Ageev V. N. Electronic book: a new means of social communication. - M.: Mir kn., 1997. -230 p. 20 I "section 1. General idea of ​​an electronic document is a document provided with a unique address (URL). To designate electronic materials located on the Internet, the term “remote access electronic resource” is used. It is this term that is used in the bibliographic description of network documents in accordance with GOST 7.82-2001. If the description of electronic documents on local machine-readable media no longer causes great difficulties, then with electronic resources of remote access the situation is different. This situation is due to several reasons. Communicativeness of resources. Completely new types of documents have emerged on the Internet and communication formats that accelerate the exchange of information. In addition to the usual text books, magazines and newspapers, web documents, messages in forums, news reports with guest books, emails, “live journals” have become firmly established in our everyday life. G) oriented towards dialogue, interaction, discussion of problems. Thanks to the strengthening of the communicative principle in the electronic environment, dictionaries and encyclopedias are collectively created, and attitudes towards events are formed. They are united by a digital form of distribution - most of them do not exist in printed versions. This causes distrust in them as an object of long-term storage and use, despite the considerable interest of librarians in many of these sources of operational information. Dynamics of resources. Beyond their inherent virtuality, Internet documents are extremely mutable. This applies to both their location and content. A document on the World Wide Web remains unchanged for no more than six months. At any moment, its address (URL) may change, its content may be updated, or it may be permanently deleted from the server. Such a high mobility of the network documentary array creates serious difficulties specifically in bibliographic accounting, description and citation of web resources. Integrity of resources. The difficulty of characterizing Internet resources lies in the fact that most often they are not represented by individual documents, but by heterogeneous groups of them, which are combined on websites, portals, search engines, and large-scale information systems. The nonlinear nature of a specific document manifests itself in the organization and maintenance of additional connections between its parts, connections with an array of documents of the same topic, with heterogeneous sets of electronic documents based on hypertext links and full-text search based on user-specified criteria. As a result, the text is endowed with additional quality, and for network documents, automated generation of such links is provided. Thanks to the violation of the one-dimensional order of the text, multidimensional displays of an object on the Web appear, connecting fragments of knowledge about the object through lists of links on the topic. There is an intensification and active manifestation of this property, the elements of which are already contained in ancient world in the form of notes to texts, subject and other auxiliary indexes to the book, as well as systematic and other catalogs in libraries, etc. Of course, links in the list can be random, distort the state of knowledge about the object, require methods and skills for their rapid viewing and analysis, but this obvious and technologically supported tendency to integrate knowledge about an object gives rise to more complex - synergistic - effects in the form of non-evolutionary processes in the development of knowledge, the emergence of unexpectedly useful knowledge, instability, irreversibility of changes in the environment of electronic information, natural threshold effects, etc. Comfort, diverse design of resources. By combining text, images, animation and graphics, or mapping materials, creators simplify the use of documents, increasing their difficult-to-measure comfort, the “ergonomics” of the document. There is a creative diversity in the design of electronic documents, and the concept of “design” goes far beyond their appearance, including a wide range of tasks in finding the optimal placement of information and navigation in it. At the same time, most sites today do not have the title screen required by GOST, which is defined as “one of the first screens of an electronic publication (or a special system screen) containing output information.” The Internet has developed its own rules for the design of title pages, to which the requirements of GOST 7.83-2001 are poorly applicable, which creates additional difficulties in describing, determining the authorship and reliability of such sources. Thus, the vast majority of remote access documents do not meet the requirements of GOST 7.83-2001. It is obvious that Internet resources are in their infancy. At this stage, it is difficult to talk about fairly established rules for the presentation of electronic documents, including compliance with general approaches to their design by internet publishers. For library practice, the most important features of an electronic publication are the independence of information from the medium, which makes it possible to solve the problems of their long-term storage; data convertibility when changing hardware and software. In order for a document to be classified as an electronic publication, it must have certain characteristics: independent design, the presence of a set of formal characteristics that allow its unambiguous identification; information about responsibility for the publication (individuals or legal entities) with the previous editorial and publishing cycle; compliance with the standards and formats adopted for this type of publication (publication); availability (or possibility of assignment) of a unique standard number in accordance with international requirements; introduction into public circulation in accepted forms of distribution (disclosure, publication). 22 Section 1. General idea of ​​an electronic document Properties of electronic documents Properties of an electronic document can be differentiated at several levels: generic properties common to the class of machine-readable documents; specific to all electronic documents; private properties for certain types of electronic documents. The generic properties of an electronic document include the iconic nature of the message; availability of material media; “block” structure, which refers to a certain organization of text, factual and illustrative materials. For example, the structure in a book is expressed by the form of a code, in an electronic journal - by saving headings, in a database - by a list of fields, etc. The most common system for organizing texts of electronic documents today is files (a group of files, a directory). According to S.I. Sempletov, a file as an electronic document is a separate static pseudo-material object with individual specific attributes1. The file organization makes it possible to ensure, when stored in a library, the relative stability of the form of an electronic document indicating the date of its copying, but after a few minutes a document of the same name with different content may appear on the Internet. This is not about choosing a “canonical text” or endlessly replacing an early document with new ones, but about the fact that these documents can only be identified by the full date and file size with unchanged technical parameters - format, font, etc. It is increasingly used such a quantitative characteristic of an Internet resource as “the number of independent screens.” The structure of an electronic document is gradually becoming more complex, while at the same time increasing its use. Hypertext technology, clustering of document data, site maps are new forms of organizing material, visualizing the structure of a document. As a subclass of machine-readable documents, electronic documents have such characteristics as: inability to be used outside technical means their creation and reproduction; availability of a common medium for a group of documents; the need for encoding for fixation and recoding for reproducing content; the ability to record different texts multiple times on the same medium. The specific properties of an electronic document have not yet been sufficiently disclosed, but the following can be named as its main characteristics: 1. The absence of a strict link between the content (text) and a specific material medium. “Migration” of a message from one medium to another without 1 Semiletov S. I. Electronic document and documentation of information as objects legal regulation// Informatization and communication. -2002. -No. 2. - (6 0 -6 9. 23 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS any changes, and at the same time the possibility of the existence of the same text in different formats. 2. The existence of a “matrix” of the document in a form unperceivable by humans (in the form digital codes), different from its reproduction on the monitor screen. 3. The possibility of direct multi-user access to the document. 4. The presence of a common encoding system (binary code), the same for recording documents of any sign system (text, sound, image, graphics). It is this property that underlies multimedia documents.1 5. The fundamental possibility of concentrating many forms of messages (text, sound, image, including dynamic) in one document 6. The possibility of repeated recoding of the source text, application in various ways its recording and reproduction. 7. Availability of a unified medium for all types of “texts”. It is necessary to separately mention the most important feature inherent in a certain part of electronic documents, called “interactive” - the possibility of user intervention in its text and structure, re-arranging the material at its own discretion and making additions2. This opportunity appears to the user when transferring a document to local media, or if there are external editing functions or a dialogue. In addition, the author can make changes to his document at any second, even if it has all the signs of an electronic publication posted on the Internet. In this regard, it becomes fundamental to answer the question: is immutability an indispensable attribute of electronic publication? For traditional publications this was not questioned (it is not for nothing that quantitative characteristics are indicated as identifying parameters in the bibliographic description), and for an electronic publication on CD media, arbitrary changes in parameters are also impossible. But with regard to interactive documents, there are practically no technical obstacles - the text can be repeatedly changed, supplemented, moved with changes in format and address, and copied. 1 “An electronic publication in which information of various natures is present equally and interconnected to solve problems defined by the developer, and this interrelation is provided by appropriate software” (GOST 7.83-2001 “Electronic publications. Main types. Imprint.” - Ed. official - Minsk, 1999.) 2 “Interactive electronic publications - electronic publications, the parameters, content and method of interaction with which are directly or indirectly established by the user in accordance with his interests, goals, level of training, etc. based on information and with the help of algorithms determined by the publisher,” which disavows the requirement of editorial and publishing preparation, text immutability and constancy of quantitative characteristics (GOST 7.83-2001 “Electronic publications. Main types. Imprint.” - Official publishing house - Minsk, 1999 ). 24 Section 1. General idea of ​​an electronic document In this regard, certain types of electronic documents (mainly network) are characterized by the presence of life cycle stages, which are understood as a sequential set of static states of a document that differ from each other in at least one of the document properties ( file name, format, etc. d.). The library can make its own standard decision about the length of time to store initial and intermediate versions of a document, or retain only its most recent content. Private technical feature network electronic documents is a possible violation of their integrity during transmission over communication channels. There may be technical glitches that may require the document to be resubmitted. All electronic documents can only be used with the help of software, but the criticality of the influence of this factor is not the same for their use. Some of them are sufficiently “platform independent”, that is, they can be adequately perceived on almost any computer. But to work with other documents, you need to install special applications, without which the electronic document cannot function. No less important characteristic It seems practically impossible to isolate some electronic documents from the software shell and general arrays (for example, in a database). A special feature of electronic resources hosted on a separate computer or server is the absence of individual media for each document. A specific property of an electronic document is the special conditions for its functioning, which imply, along with the physical safety of the material medium, the provision of software support for documents and the availability of appropriate hardware for their adequate reproduction. When ensuring the safety of electronic documents, it is necessary to solve four groups of problems: protection against viruses; protection against unauthorized access; preventing data loss and changes (distortion) of text with each fundamental update of computer technology; preservation of the material medium itself (see subsection “Information security of electronic resources of libraries”). Before the inclusion of publications on machine-readable media in the collections, libraries, while maintaining the material basis of the publication, also provided the opportunity to read texts. However, the life cycle of an electronic publication (as well as any machine-readable document) almost entirely depends on the degree of adequacy of the forms of its presentation to modern technical capabilities. For electronic documents prepared in a shell with a specific representation of content, the life cycle is associated with the viability of the shell itself. If it is not developed and maintained, then the electronic document is difficult to use, save or restore without additional effort. 25 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS Rapid development computer technology may pose a serious problem for libraries in the future: experts believe that if the production of computers of the existing class ceases, in 25 years there will be serious difficulties in extracting information from modern electronic publications. Therefore, in relation to electronic documents, preservation should be understood as ensuring the ability to read text in ways and means adequate to the present time. Along with the physical safety of the media, we should also talk about keeping the data up to date (in accordance with hardware and software at the level of generally applicable standards at the time of the request). Thus, in relation to electronic documents, it is necessary to provide a guarantee of adequate reproduction of the text, regardless of changes in hardware and software, which in the field of computer technology are changing at great speed. In the area of ​​their safety, several problem areas or risk zones can be identified: poor durability, the rapid emergence of new machine-readable media; obsolescence of hardware and peripherals; rapid change of software, incompatibility of some platforms, obsolescence of formats for presenting and distributing information (simultaneously with the emergence of new ones). A generalized idea of ​​the distinctive properties of electronic documents allows, when making a decision on acquiring library collections with electronic documents, to include the following characteristics among the selection criteria: Compliance of the electronic document with the basic norms of the publishing process and the availability of information about responsibility. The document is intended for long-term use - it is inappropriate to include resources for which the interpretation of the content is determined by the date of receipt or reading (for example, exchange rates, current stock quotes, price lists, catalogs of trading platforms, etc.) as acquisition objects, unless the library makes a special decision about their inclusion in the fund). The independence of a document is the possibility of its use (reading) without recourse to other documents or software, as well as the possibility of its cataloging within the framework of the existing library and bibliographic tradition. Accordingly, libraries should develop clear recommendations for isolating the necessary electronic documents from top-level objects (website, portal). Completeness, immutability of the document - dynamic resources (databases, forum materials, etc.) can be objects of acquisition in justified situations, if the storage unit is their individual static fragments (database archives and reports with their fixed state at a certain point in time); if the value of the resource exceeds the economic costs, and its use is supported by the library’s software and hardware environment, etc. In other cases, the issue of occasional or regular access to them by library employees and readers should be considered conditions specified in the license agreement. Suitability for long-term storage, which is determined by the use of formats based on international open standards, the ability to separate data from programs, and in cases where this is not possible, storing data only with programs using open source codes. Technological parameters, including: Structural characteristics, such as the completeness of the document (fragment - whole); the presence of inextricable links fixed by the program with other documents. They can be critical for users if, if they are violated (partial copying, lack of a program that reproduces them, etc.), the document loses all or part of its functional properties, and are not critical for the full presentation of the document; S presentation of data (codes used pages, formats, software); ■S type of resource: static (completed or incomplete); dynamic (replenished or updated). In modern conditions, it is inappropriate to single out such a feature or selection criterion as conditions for access to resources: free (free) ; requiring user registration; commercial (paid). Access conditions are extremely variable, and resolving issues of using or borrowing electronic documents often takes the form of a bilateral agreement on the terms of information exchange, mutual agreement, donation, etc. Typification of electronic documents Electronic documents are usually divided into two large ones groups depending on the method of their distribution, access mode: Electronic documents of local access include documents recorded on separate (portable, removable) media (CDs, DVDs, etc.) with information recorded on a separate physical media that must be placed on the computer by the user. These documents that exist as separate objects are called static, autonomous, “off-line”. Most of them can rightfully be considered electronic publications, since they have not only a completed internal structure, but also many other formal features: circulation, imprint, information about responsibility, etc. 27 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS Local electronic publication - a publication intended for local use and issued in the form of a certain number of identical copies (circulation) on portable machine-readable media. In the future, we will use the general name in relation to them - dokumeits/editions on compact discs or CD editions. Electronic resources of remote (network) access are dynamic, or online (dynamic, on-line) documents stored on a computer (group of computers, server). The main feature of these documents is their placement on a common basis (the computer’s hard drive), in other words, they are documents without an individual material carrier, connected, as a rule, by a number of links with related documents and search engines. The terms “interactive documents/publications”, “online publications”, or “network documents/publications” are used as synonyms. These resources include information resources located on the global Internet and in local networks - departmental, corporate and private (intranet). Internet information resources are a set of information technologies and databases that are accessible through these technologies. Traditionally, the “beginning” of the Internet is considered to be the site of the Swiss laboratory of atomic physics (CERN), where the technology of the World Wide Web WWW^ was born (see the subsection “Technological features of electronic documents”). Currently, the Internet is a community of individual networks of different scales having common access points - search engines . Individual networks within the Internet are relatively independent and can develop according to their own laws and rules, while remaining at the same time part of the overall structure, which includes such components as a server, website, page. The concepts of “server” and “site” are often equated. A website is considered a more private entity: a single “server” can host thousands of independent sites. However, it also happens that one site is served by several servers, for example, this is the case with the “network representative office” of Microsoft. Pages are individual hypertext documents, which together can form a single “organism” - a website. When working with it, one or several pages are displayed on the screen: A page is the minimum element of the WWW information structure. A website is a logically complete information structure consisting of one or several pages. A server is a computer connected to the Internet, on which both websites and other structures, for example, FTP archives, can be located. Internet information resources include: FTP file archive system; WWW database; portals. 28 Section 1. General understanding of an electronic document The FTP file archive system is a distributed depository of various data accumulated over the last 10-15 years on the Internet. In FTP archives you can find press releases, books on various fields of knowledge, etc. FTP is the second of the basic services and protocols (File Transfer hotocol protocol). FTP servers, unlike WWW, are simply file archives on a remote computer. You can work with them in the same way as with arrays on your own computer - using Explorer or another program for working with files (file manager). The acronym f t p indicates that the network address belongs to this service: / / Information in /TP archives is divided into three categories: protected information, the access mode of which is determined by its owners and is permitted under a special agreement with the consumer; information resources of limited use, i.e. resources of limited time of use or duration, when the user can work with the current version at his own risk, but no one will provide him with support; freely distributed information resources (freeware). These resources include everything that can be freely obtained on the Internet without special registration. Archives are used to solve various problems, for example, to maintain a collection of regulatory documents. Distributed hypertext information system WWW - World Wide Web servers, World Wide Web. It is with this, the youngest sermp of the Internet, that libraries work, using a page or website of some organization, creating their own website. WWW is a system of “pages” containing text, graphics, and sometimes sound files , video images. You can work with WWW pages using a special browser viewer, such as Internet Explorer. A special feature of the system is the use of hypertext links, which make it possible to view materials in the order they were selected by the user. The original version of the WWW was a distributed hypertext (a system that made it possible to move from one text document to another by selecting a link word, embedded and document text. The user interfaces of this technology allow you to select the material of interest by pressing the manipulator button on the word or field I of the PDF picture. The universal address system allows you to specify almost all information Internet resources. In WWW7 there is a system of directories that allow you to navigate the Internet and execute remote programs. The main task of the WWW server is to provide users with access to the database of II"I"ML documents. Currently, the functionality of the server has expanded beyond simply sending documents to client requests.IOII. The following functions are typical for modern servers: 29 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS maintaining a hierarchical document system; control over access to information by clients; pre-processing of data before responding to a request; implementation of interaction with clients and other servers in intermediary mode; implementation of built-in or interaction with external search engines. The server database (or, as it is also called, Website) is a part of the file system reserved for storing HTML document files. For any database, the concept of a storage unit is defined - a minimal object that can be accessed externally or received as a response to a request. The standard storage object in the DB of a C-ILU server is an HTML document; in addition, many servers support combined storage objects, created in some cases from several files or generated by programs on the fly. The following objects can be distinguished: A World Wide Web database page is a dynamic information object that is displayed to the user when accessing an information resource WWW 1 1 0 universal identifier of this resource (URL, IP) or network address. The virtual page appears only when the client contacts the server and does not physically exist in the server’s file system. In this case, document conversion commands are included in the body of the document and files describing the document hierarchy of the server. At the user's request, the server accesses its database and returns the required information to the viewer. The prefixes http (denotes the Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and www prefixes indicate that the network address belongs to this service. Sometimes the h ttp:// prefix is ​​omitted from addresses. Then the network address takes on a more compact and convenient form: www.inion.ru. Portals are powerful Information Systems , providing both services (e-mail, forums, personal page builders) and their own content (news, weather data, financial indices, catalogs and rubricators). Moreover, all these different resources are interconnected not only by a common interface and links, but also by a single search system, for example, the portal “Cyril and Methodius” (http://-www.km.ru). The first and most important part of the portal is the mega-encyclopedia of the same name, which contains hundreds of thousands of articles from a series of individual electronic encyclopedias (http://mega.km.ru). The complex structure and scale of many network information sources, including search engines, only conditionally allow us to call them electronic documents. For this reason, they are often referred to using the combination “Internet resources” and “metadata”. In this case, it is important to take into account 30 Section 1. General understanding of an electronic document the presence and constant replenishment of a range of electronic resources that are difficult to identify as a single document, for example, gaming sites, and among text ones - “live journals”, news feeds, “ chats,” etc. With the development of computer technology, the division into “online” and “offline” documents is becoming more and more arbitrary - archives of online publications (most often magazines) are distributed on CD media and can again be available on the Internet. On the other hand, a number of publications published on optical CDs have online updates. The Internet makes it possible to update information recorded on an optical CD before the next electronic edition is prepared. For example, the ClioSoft company, which released the four-volume (on four discs) “History of Russia: 20th Century,” provides updated and expanded information on its website. The Information and Publishing Center “Statistics of Russia” publishes periodicals and collections in printed form, makes them available online and on CD media. Multimedia textbooks from the publishing house “Multimedia Technologies and Distance Learning” are published on CD-ROM, which are available both on the local network of institutions and through Internet versions. Electronic publications of combined distribution are distinguished as a separate type, i.e. publications that can be used both as a local and as a network document. The most well-known classifications of network electronic documents are the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) scheme, the Dublin Core metadata classification, and the most common classification of MARC documents in the library community. The MIME specification was developed for email, but has become more widespread with the advent of web technology. The MIME-rim scheme identifies the data type itself (for example, text), some of its variations (for example, plain text), and one or more of their parameters (for example, encoding type = ASCII). The format of the information source is usually indicated as a subtype. The classification of electronic resources was further developed by the trading decisions of an expert group of specialists from many countries, known as the “Dublin Metadata Core”. They highlight several types of metadata, propose indicators, rules for their identification and characteristics. In practice, when cataloging documents in libraries, the classification of resources presented in the MARC format is most often used. And Table 1 shows the main divisions of the named classification schemes. 31 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS Table 1 Classification schemes of electronic information sources: main divisions MIM E Dublin core M ARC Text objects 1.

It greatly facilitates the transition of libraries to working with electronic documents, but artificially brings together the flows of printed and electronic documents. Many experts offer their own classification schemes and discuss individual segments of the electronic environment (works by V. N. Ageev, A. B. Antopolsky, O. V. Barysheva, V. A. Vul, R. S. Gilyarovsky, O. N. Kulish , N. N. Kushnarenko, I. G. Morgenstern, Ya. L. Shrayberg, etc.). A very detailed classification of electronic resources (documents and services) is given in the book by A. I. Bashmakov and V. A. Starykh1. When comparing the proposed classifications, it is easy to see that they structure the area of ​​electronic documents (resources) differently, and also allow for mixing the bases of division. All this causes significant difficulties in the practical determination of the types of electronic resources. Publications on CD media, like printed ones, are largely static; they can have reprints and be published in batches. Network electronic publications can be static and dynamic. The latter, in turn, can be divided into updated and replenished. Updated documents retain their name and author/publisher during all transformations, but not their content, for example, websites or news feeds. Obviously, the fact of updating an electronic publication can be compared with a reissue, but without saving the previous version, or an analogy can be drawn with a printed publication with removable sheets. Updated electronic documents also have analogues in the printed environment in the form of cumulative publications. However, at a certain stage of its existence (sometimes quite long), an electronic document can be considered as a manuscript in the process of work, when the text is constantly changing. An important characteristic of a traditional publication is information about the author or responsibility, which has not yet become a mandatory attribute of online publications. If we talk about the relationship between an electronic document and its printed counterpart2, then we can distinguish two types: the original electronic edition and the second edition (reprint, reprint, republication). Original electronic publications include the following types: an original electronic document that does not have a printed counterpart, or, in other words, a document of electronic origin; an electronic publication based on scanned text with functionality implemented in electronic 1 Bashmakov A. I., Starykh V. A. Systematization of information resources for the field of education: classification and metadata. - M.: Foundation "European Center for Quality", 2003. -384 p. 2 This also applies to manuscripts, sound recordings, works of art and other special objects. 36 I "section 1. General understanding of the electronic document in the throne environment, comments and other applications, an example of which is the project “Memory of Russia” or the CD edition “Ancient Art of Siberia”; computer original layout for the printing edition of the book; application to printed publication; digests, cumulations, collections, convolutes created on the basis of both printed publications and documents of electronic origin. An electronic representation of a printed publication obtained as a result of scanning is often used as a reissue. In this case, the relationship with the original source may be of a different nature ; the electronic edition fully corresponds to the original (which is achieved by its presentation in graphic formats); has “inherited content” (the publication format implies complete preservation of the text, but not the image of the printed edition); contains the essential features of the original source. Characteristics of the attributes of electronic publications on CD media does not present much difficulty, since, as was shown earlier, their identification information is practically equal to that used in the field of book printing. Gradually, it becomes possible to have a fairly complete and adequate description of electronic documents, as exemplified by the main features of the Dublin Core1: title (the name by which the resource is known); creator (author, compiler); publisher (person responsible for quality, legitimacy and reliability of the resource); date (of creation or availability of the resource); type of resource; format; international identification numbers; source (link to the source from which a specific document was extracted). By comparing these positions with a standard bibliographic description, which is considered sufficient to identify any printed publication, we will be able to talk about the fundamental consistency of printed and online electronic documents. Almost all types and types of publications are present in the electronic environment | varying degrees of expression of the main features. The most common | Another form of electronic publications is currently published on optical compact discs - CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only for Memory). Optical compact discs are a tangible medium on which any content can be recorded (see subsection “Media | to “tronic information”). From the very beginning, they contained, in fact, 1 Elements of the Dublin Core are partially listed. See subsection “Technological features of electronic documents.” 37 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS.■finished publications that have almost all the usual attributes - title, publisher, year of publication, circulation, etc. At the first stage, these were mainly dictionaries, reference books, bibliographic databases, and also software. Like printed, electronic publications on C£>-media can be single-volume or multi-volume, but the breakdown into volumes is not always based on content. Quite often, one of the disks acts as a technological or software application to the main At present, there are many complex publications where the textual material is published in the form of a printed edition, and the illustrative material is on the optical CD attached to the book. Currently, there are almost all types of publications on CD media, with a significant predominance of multimedia electronic books, of which about 80% are games, children's developmental and educational publications, reference books, dictionaries, and educational programs. In terms of content, CD publications generally repeat the structure of the traditional book stream (of course, without yet reaching its volume and coverage). Among them there are what can be called collected works, annual and long-term sets of newspapers and magazines, interactive fairy tales and much more. From the point of view of functional and intended purpose, network electronic publications can include: individual works (original and electronic representations of printed publications), collections (including conference materials), databases and websites. There is a scientific debate about the legality of considering all sites as a publication. The essence of the problem lies in their complex hierarchical structure. The actual resource, which can be legitimately interpreted as an independent document, can be located on any page of the site. On the other hand, there are sites that represent a certain publication (encyclopedia or magazine), a collection of electronic publications and an entire electronic library. Databases, according to some experts, do not fit even into the broadest understanding of the book, since each database is a separate information system, which is a software complex with a set of data (records, documents). Databases are classified in accordance with GOST 7.70-2003 “Description of databases and machine-readable information arrays.” The library works primarily with the following types of databases: bibliographic and abstract (containing bibliographic records about documents); documentary full-text databases consisting of individual documents; factual reference databases containing text fragments and factual data about the object. As is known, databases can be mono-object (for example, bibliographic) and multi-object (for example, the database of the Ministry of Emergency Situations38 Section 1. General idea of ​​the electronic document of the Russian Federation contains descriptions of emergency situations, lists of equipment, personalities and much more). There is a clear tendency to create databases and data banks mixed type, combining all types of information about an object, including full texts of publications about them. In the Law of the Russian Federation “On Copyright and Related Morals”, databases are equated to collections (from the point of view of copyright), which makes it possible to approach their acquisition taking into account the general policy of forming funds. An independent class of electronic information resources are geographic information systems (GIS), which have a multilayer hierarchical structure of information linked to geographical map (topographical basis). GISs have specific software tools, special functionality, technologies for formation and use, their own standards, etc., and therefore their production is allocated to a separate area of ​​geoinformatics. Nevertheless, in theoretical terms, there is an undeniable analogy between GIS and traditional cartographic publications (atlases). The main question is the following: is this analogy sufficient to include GIS in acquisition objects on the same model as traditional cartographic publications. So far, the practice of compiling digital libraries gives a negative answer to this, which is primarily due to the special functionality of GIS. Thus, in modern library practice, three approaches are used to identify Internet objects: based on direct analogy with the source material (book, magazine, etc.); based on reduction, i.e. consideration of online publications within the framework of the book-printing tradition (magazines, books, albums, music collections, etc.); based on the most important functional characteristics of each object. Technological features of electronic documents The species diversity and properties of electronic resources are influenced by technological factors. This means that when working with electronic documents, library staff must master the basic formats for presenting data and observe significant changes in their assortment. From a technological point of view, it is important how electronic documents are created - by manual entry, scanning, borrowing from other sources; with the help of what software and hardware tools, for what purposes, etc. All this affects the structure, coding and content of electronic documents, determines the possibility (necessity) of creating and storing intermediate and insurance copies. Media types can have implications for the organization of electronic resource collections. Among the main factors influencing the features of electronic documents are: linguistic means - recording standards - formats, codes, etc.; data transmission channels and protocols; information indexing tools; search capabilities of systems; database management systems (DBMS) used. In the process of development of information technologies, electronic documents partially retain the properties of traditional documents with the simultaneous appearance of new characteristics. The first machine-readable documents for libraries in our country were created already in the early 1960s. in the process of solving the problem of mechanization and automation of information retrieval: arrays of bibliographic records were formed on punched cards, punched tapes and magnetic media to search for information on requests (experimental research and development under the leadership of A. V. Sokolov, S. A. Sbitnev, L. S. Kozachkova and others). The world information experience was summarized by the book of A. I. Mikhailov, A. I. Cherny, R. S. Gilyarevsky “Fundamentals of Scientific Information” (1965), which introduced into scientific circulation all the fundamental ideas in the field of information support and was translated into many languages. For the younger generation, A.V. Sokolov and A.M. Sorkin in the widely known publication “I Want to Know Everything!” in 1964 they showed the development of civilization from the creation of writing to the “electronic machine” and the “television book”. At the dawn of automated information technologies, when the use of electronic computer technology was associated primarily with automatic

Fund of the RSL department at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center

The RSL department at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center was created in 2013 to store the Schneerson collection - the book collection of the family of leaders of the Hasidic Chabad movement, the center of which was located in the town of Lubavitch. The library began to take shape during the life of the founder of the movement, Shneur Zalman from Liadi, from the end of the 18th century and was collected until 1915. After the 1917 revolution, the collection was nationalized and transferred to the Rumyantsev Museum, later renamed State Library USSR named after V.I. Lenin (now RSL).
