Based on the study of the approaches of various authors, the ratio of these categories is presented. It is proved that digital law is a priority for the legal regulation of fundamentally new public relations emerging over the use of end-to-end digital technologies, while improving the system of legal regulation from the standpoint of cyber law seems more promising as a direction for improving the legal regulation of traditional information institutions that are incapable of rapid digital transformation.According to the results of the study, the author concludes that one of the traditional information institutions, the improvement of the system of legal regulation of which it is advisable to consider in the context of cyber law, is the institute of legal regulation of information relations in the field of librarianship.
