The State Standard for the Acquisition Profile of the Collections of Scientific Libraries, its Strengths and Shortcomings

In 2018, the State Standard R 7.0.102—2018 “Acquisition Profile of Collections of Scientific Libraries. Structure. Acquisition Indicators” was first introduced into the System of Standards for Information, Librarianship and Publishing (SIBID). The aim of the article is to consider in detail the advantages and shortcomings of the new State Standard. This document is of great legal importance and, in essence, determines not only acquisition of collections, but shapes all library activities. The author notes that some of the items are new word in the library collection analysis and collection generation practice: the concept of “Acquisition Indicator”, “Access Point to Electronic Resources” and their definitions; and statement that collection acquisition objects in the research libraries are all kinds of documents, of any periodicity, different semiotic systems, forms of representation, tangible media etc. The article also identified significant deficiencies of the new standard. The author considers unsatisfactory classification of the acquisition sources and equally unsatisfactory recommendation at deep indication on material form to be guided by State Standard 7.72—96 SIBID “Codes of Physical Form of Documents”. In general, the author characterizes the approval of new State Standard as significant event in library theory and practice.
