COOPERATION OF LIBRARIES OF UKRAINE IN THE DIRECTION OF PRESERVATION OF THE NATIONAL DOCUMENTARY HERITAGE

Summary/Abstract: Purpose of Article is to determine the directions of cooperation of Ukrainian libraries in the aspect of preserving national documentary heritage. Methodology. The study is based on a structurally functional approach to the analysis of library collections and collections; general scientific methods were used during the generalization of the material as induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the work is to justify the need for cooperation of Ukrainian libraries in the direction of preserving the national documentary heritage. Conclusions. Ensuring the safety of funds belongs to the main functions of any public library. For this, the library requires appropriately equipped book depositories, technical equipment, qualified personnel, appropriate funding, and a regulatory framework. However, in Ukraine over the years, most of these prerequisites for the proper preservation of library collections were clearly insufficient, as a result of which the proportion of worn-out documents in library collections is constantly growing, and replenishment with new editions is insignificant; the conditions of many book depositories are inappropriate; there are not enough specialists, equipment, modern technologies for preserving and restoring library documents. In order to strengthen responsibility for the preservation of ancient, rare, and valuable publications, experts develop and put into practice a short passport, which is compiled for each publication. It contains the minimum necessary library and bibliographic information about books and magazines, so it is called short. The completed passport is glued at the beginning or at the end of the document on the back of the cover. The cooperation of libraries is necessary not only to fix publications in a digital depository or to make a digital copy as an insurance one but also to provide distant services to users, therefore it is advisable to take into account the available (exposed) resources of other institutions.
