Digital bibliography: The libraries in search of innovative bibliographic tools

Abstract

The author discusses application of innovative digital technologies in library bibliographic services. The digitalization cannot be limited to collection digitization, development of digital collections and provision of digital access to these collections. Its essential task is to find integrated solutions in bibliographic activities based on innovative system comprised primarily of the big data technology, machine learning and artificial intellect. The author examines the potential of artificial intellect systems implemented in many foreign libraries. Their successful experience is very promising. The artificial intellect is used for retrieving relevant and reliable information, mining bibliographic metadata, creating standard bibliographic records and reference lists, designing chat-bots, automatic in formation distribution on user request, selecting key values from document array. With digital technology advances, the bibliographers will have to be directly in volved in designing systems, services, programs and apps to provide bibliographic and information products and services so that traditional bibliographical principles, values and ethics lay the foundation for and are preserved in innovative artificial intellect technologies.
