Network resources of remote access of regional public libraries of Belarus about the Great Patriotic war: current state and development trends
Abstract
Libraries play an important role in preserving and disseminating accurate knowledge about the Great Patriotic War. In order to study the activities of regional public libraries of Belarus in this area by creating remote access network resources, the analysis of the websites of these libraries and publications on this topic was conducted. Monitoring allowed us to identify Internet resources of regional, city, district, urban-settlement, rural libraries on the subject under consideration and to study their range. The current state and trends in the development of remote access network resources were determined. It was found that the content of Internet resources is based on the local history aspect of considering military events. The analysis of Internet products of regional libraries showed the features of their preparation: presentation of combined, multimedia information, use of innovative preparation practices, interactivity of Internet resources, expansion of their type-type and genre composition, active inclusion of archival, personal documents (memories, diaries, front-line letters) of participants and witnesses of military events in the content, interaction with archives and museums. The expediency of a wider use of a corporate approach in the preparation of remote access network resources is noted
