After all, among the various types of libraries of our state, it is scientific libraries, in particular libraries of research institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, whose main task is to promptly and fully provide scientists with world scientific information on the topics of their research based on traditional and modern network technologies, that occupy a leading placein the process of ensuring access to scientific knowledge. In accordance with the currentneeds of Ukrainian science, scientific libraries are changing priorities in approachesto the choice of information sources, improving technologies for accumulating sociallysignificant information, trying to provide users with access to online resources of the world’s leading suppliers of scientific information as widely as possible, harmoniously combining traditional and electronic documents, becoming navigators and intermediaries in a modern communication system. It is noted that as leading subjects of the information market, scientific libraries are modernizing and improving the information and analytical direction of their activitiesin order to effectively meet growing information requests, especially in the field of Public Administration. The article highlights the activities of research divisions of V. I.

This paper introduces SpatialCluster, a Python library developed for clustering urban areas using geolocated data. The library integrates a range of methods for urban clustering, including Deep ...Modularity Networks, Gaussian Mixtures, K-Nearest Neighbours, Self Organized Maps, and Information-Theoretic Clustering, providing a comprehensive framework. These methods are evaluated using indices such as the Adjusted Rand Index and Adjusted Mutual Information, and the library includes features for detailed map visualization. SpatialCluster’s online documentation offers examples, making the library accessible to researchers and urban planners. The library aims to facilitate urban data analysis and contribute to the field of urban studies.
During the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine, and in the context of post-war challenges to the Ukrainian state and society, the relevance of issues of operational cov erage of the activities of ...Ukrainian scientists, primarily those aimed at strengthening the defence and security of the state, has significantly increased. Accordingly, the need to intensify communication activities between the scientific community and society, public authorities, etc. has significantly increased under modern conditions.Today the library is the basic social and communicative structure that concentrates the communicative culture of society and provides communication processes with the use of documents, information and knowledge. It is noted that today in Ukraine the perception of information and analytical activity as an integral component of libraries’ scientific and informational work has been fully established, as well as the information and analytical products themselves have become an important means of communication between the library and the user, namely, the consumer of information. Attention is focused on the fact that under conditions of a full-scale war, unleashed by Russia against Ukraine, the role of library and information centers, which possess information and analytical resources capable to counteract the spread of enemy narratives, as well as forming and spreading the national narrative of Ukraine, is significantly strengthened.The article reflects the activity of the Service of information and analytical support of public authorities of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine on the operative provision of users, in particular the authorities, with the materials on socially significant topics. In particular, as an example of effective activity in informing the society about the research and developments of Ukrainian scientists related to the strengthening of defence and security of the state, the publication and distribution of materials of the issue of information and analytical bulletin “Ways of Development of Ukrainian Science: Public Discourse” is considered.Thus, it was concluded that the activity of the Information and analytical support service (IASS) of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine, which operates in the field of operational provision of users with materials of socially significant topics, indicates that the library continues to play an important role as a communication institution even under martial law.
Computer wurden in den Wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken des DACH-Raumes in den 1960er Jahren eingeführt. Der Text vollzieht dies nach und zeigt unter anderem, dass die Grundprobleme, die am Ende mit ...den Rechenmaschinen gelöst werden sollten, zuvor auch anders angegangen wurden. Es ging um die Beherrschung einer wachsenden Anzahl von Literatur. Auffällig an der Geschichte ist, dass die Entwicklung sich relativ schnell vollzogen, dass sie im DACH-Raum relativ ähnlich verliefen und das es nicht per se um die Einführung von Technik, sondern um das Lösen von Problemen ging.
