National Digital Book Platform in the Discourse of the National Bibliography: Some Results of the 33rd Moscow International Book Fair

The Coronavirus crisis of 2020 has seriously changed the state of the book industry around the world, including the technological aspect of industry interaction. Revision of the publishing policy and optimization of internal resources become inevitable. Digitalization of the book market and growth of sales through Internet channels has speeded up radically. Both publishers and libraries are significantly increasing their presence on the Internet and working to develop a variety of educational online services. Electronic library book has become more popular, and the number of requests to the National electronic library has increased. During this period, the professional community has an updated request to create National digital book platform that can unite book industry entities, among which libraries are the key link. Development of this initiative received a new impetus at the 33rd Moscow International Book Fair, held on September 2—6, 2020 in the Manege Central Exhibition Hall. V.V. Duda, General Director of the Russian State Library, notes that the idea of creating the National Bibliography of Russia should be the basis of the technological development of the project.
