| Summary: | Libraries, which are engaged in digital publishing, the author compares with the drops dancing on the unstable surface of water. As if using the aikido philosophy, libraries redirect negative, aggressive energy of hostile influence to their own advantage and create a dance harmony of movements – the Library Publishing project. The article considered the Library Publishing activities of the university libraries of the world. The libraries of Ukrainian universities, basing their own publishing strategies and services on the experience of their foreign colleagues, are rapidly increasing the potential for mass implementation of the digital library publishing in their activities. In the author’s opinion, it is publishing services based on digital models and open access resources that can provide real help of the libraries to their universities in the conditions of economic crisis and military operations in the East of Ukraine. It is proved that the university libraries ofUkrainehave been demonstrating extreme activity in the provision of library publishing services during 2014–2017. According to preliminary general results of the all-Ukrainian research «Library Publishing Services in the Universities of Ukraine» (May–June 2017; 111 responding libraries), the library publishing services for today are: a) separate activity – 23.4 % of libraries; b) separate services – 30.6 %; c) not practiced, but planned – 36 %; d) neither practiced nor planned – about 10 %. The Library Publishing philosophy interpretation is provided. |
