Abstract
The article is devoted to the anniversary of the prominent Russian scholar in library science Margarita Yakovlevna Dvorkina, born on April 1, 1936. The author highlights her main positive qualities as a person and scientist. Her exceptional scientific integrity is revealed by the example of M.Y. Dvorkinaʼs clarification over time of the attitude to revolutionary-democratic libraries (the theme of her PhD thesis) and especially to the status of the concept of “library service”. She successfully defended her doctoral dissertation on this topic in 1994. Initially, she confined to the named scope of the concept, then she deemed more correct to consider “information and library services”, and now she inclines to the term “library and information services”. The author assumes that the next round of the scientific spiral should be return on a new basis to the term and to the concept “library service” behind it. The article presents arguments to defend this position.
