System of knowledge management stability under the conditions of dynamic changes of social medium objectively depends on the so-called “code of values” or “culture”. Goals of the system functioning, priorities of development, criteria of quality and effectiveness of activities in achieving these objectives depend on the prevailing paradigm in realizing tasks facing the object. The ever-growing stream of information makes the process of taking decisions more and more complicated. Modern research library is a very important structural element of the knowledge society because, on the one hand, it provides free access to information, achievements of science and arts, on the other hand – actively takes part in developing informational and communicational infrastructure as well as science and education. However, to be a direct productive force information has to transform into knowledge. This problem becomes more urgent in the context of the global paradigm – the economy based on knowledge. In this connection on the new stage of social evolution significance of social institutions, including libraries, engaged in producing, storing, processing and disseminating knowledge for their subsequent practical application is growing. The aim of this article is to give a brief review of publications, devoted to building up the system of knowledge management and the place of library in it. Methods, used in the research are: content analyses and generalization of native and foreign publications on the above mentioned problem.

On the example of SPSTL SB RAS, the authors illustrate how transformation of educational value basis affects ideology and technology of library activity, demanding modernization of its contents in the sphere of actual educational environmental construction.

The value-semantic paradigm of the library science’ knowledge undergoes constant changes understandable only in the context of its evolution. It is due to a number of factors, namely: transformation of the scientific knowledge system as a whole; changes of this cognitive construction levels; necessity to solve practical tasks connected with libraries’ adaptation to constant changes in the society; intellectual upgrading of the industrial sphere, etc. The article objective is to prove that value-semantic structure of the modern library science’ knowledge must be based on principles confirming their evolutionary fitness in the context of modern historical reality. The authors conclude that changing social reality, followed by the library one, makes the professional community to form a new system of methodological approaches and notions, and the task of the society spiritual-moral evolution predetermines creating an adequate disciplinary matrix.

The legal deposit copy, obliging each recipient to provide its eternal preservation, has always guaranteed the completeness of joint library resources, formed by native libraries. In course of time, a new approach proved itself: if it were undesirable and, moreover, impossible in the conditions of stack crisis to preserve constantly everything published, the depository libraries should be given the right to choose materials having permanent information, cultural and historical value. It determined the necessity of partnership between libraries of different types and kinds, coordination in document resources formation, other activities aspects. However, a number of legal juristic acts and financial documents, adopted in the previous decade, changed the paradigm of interrelations between institutions of different financial forms. Profiling their resources, libraries of higher educational institutions consciously limit subjects and types of editions as well as depth of their retrospection with due regard for possibilities of satisfying their users’ wide information needs by the stocks of other – basicly large universal scientific – libraries. For all that, practice of stocks formation even in SPSTL SB RAS indicates of the short supply – because of small circulation of this literature, lack of proper information and non- receipt of legal copies, etc. – of scientific editions of this segment. Statistic data formed on the base of a number of Novosibirsk State Universities publishing repertory as well the results of the analysis of this segment of SPSTL SB RAS stocks could serve as an obvious case. We suppose that it is necessary to cumulate statistical data on other basic universities of the Siberian Federal Region (SFR). That will permit, from our viewpoint, not only to determine with a high degree of certainty modern completeness and guality of SPSTL SB RAS’ stock formation as the receiver of the legal deposit copy, but also to formulate perspectives of interaction between all the actors of the territorial scientific-aducational complex.
