Abstract
Organization of library work is related to such sciences as pedagogy, psychology, sociology, computer science, economics, cybernetics, linguistics. Integration with these scientific processes allows solving a number of problems of library work. Automation of library services and the use of modern software are necessary to increase efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, it is very important for libraries not only to have appropriate software and technologies, but also to be able to use them effectively. Library automation benefits both library staff and users, as it increases staff productivity and improves remote and timely delivery of up-to-date information to users. This article is mainly aimed at determining the relevance of using modern software for library automation. To achieve this goal, the document is divided into sections that highlight the relevance of library automation, and the main issues that should be considered when choosing software for libraries. Recommendations are made on the key factors that should prevail in order to achieve successful automation of library services through software. These recommendations will be useful to the future specialist as a methodological guide for his work on library automation.
