Abstract:
The shift from the traditional form of managing a library has become achievable with
the advancement and implementation of cutting-edge IT technologies. Such global changes are
driven by the development of digital document spaces and the necessity for libraries to define
their place in these domains by harmonising traditional and digital technologies. All the changes
occurring around the world have also led to the restructuring of library systems. Developing new
library models along with digitalisation will increase library services to a higher level. In this
article, we define the library sector. Theoretically, most libraries rely on research conducted by
Russian and foreign colleagues. Due to the lack of studies on developing information platforms in
Kazakhstan, this study attempts to analyse the theoretical issues posed by scholars-librarians. The
article identifies the issues and challenges in developing selection criteria for electronic documents
and concludes by suggesting further research on this topic.
