Abstract
This is a review of the bibliographic index “Bibliographic Activity of the Russian State Library” released by the publishing house “Pashkov Dom” in 2021. The new index has been drawn up by the experts from the Research Department of Bibliography of the Russian State Library (RSL). This unique book serves as a social memory of one of the largest libraries both in this country and worldwide. We might regard this information resource as a kind of chronicle of the RSL Reference and Bibliographic Service, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2018. The structural and substantive analyse of the methodological features of the index as well as the criteria for the selection of material have been carried out. The publication consists of two parts (“Literature on the bibliographic activity of the library” and “Publications of the library on bibliographic theory and practice”) and includes 1709 bibliographic records.
The book can be used as an example for creating similar works, and it is a comprehensive toolkit for scientometric analysis of the library’s bibliographic activity.
