Delegation from the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University

On September 25, a delegation from the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University visited our library. Colleagues came to exchange work experience and professional communication.

The weather was favorable so that the first thing we did was take the guests into the heavens - the manifestation of our beloved Academy Town from the university dome into the whole red golden autumn. This bright beginning received a continuation of the process of walking through the Building of Stream Classrooms.

With undisguised delight, Tomsk residents, like children, flowed through the corridors, took pictures, and shared their emotions. The tour of the library subscription, reading room and work rooms was accompanied by professional questions from both sides, clarification of details, and exchange of contacts. The two book depositories also made a great impression with their size, convenience and technology.

After visiting the new university cafe, the guests, who had become our good friends in a short time, went to the Novosibirsk State Regional Scientific Library to complete the tour of the city’s scientific libraries.

We received the greatest benefit from communicating with the head of the electronic library department, Natalya Nikolaevna Svetlichnaya - her invaluable experience in organizing and maintaining the TSU electronic library, the features of digitizing publications, and promoting content are of great importance to us, an agreement was reached to continue distance communication, as well as a visit to the TSU Scientific Library in October of this year as part of the “University Library: One Step Ahead” forum.
