An informational review of publications was conducted, the thematic spectrum of which reflects the level of representation of theoretical and applied research in 2022-2025 based on the method of frequency analysis of keywords and titles of publications, significantly localised the boundaries of the sample and grouping of documents relevant to the topic of our study according to the following criteria: type and type of source, content (topic) of the article. The list of grouped publications based on the results of research by scientists from the European Union, the USA, Pakistan, Indonesia, the UK and Ukraine identifies key areas for the long-term development of scientific (academic) libraries, differentiated by technological, organisational and structural components of activity: automation and digital transformation of libraries, the future of libraries in the digital age, makerspaces, open access publications and repositories, transition to green libraries, social responsibility.
