title: Science knowledge, libraries and the Internet. The interaction at the current stage
abstract: The authors address the issue of impact of the Internet on academic libraries providing information support of science research and studies. Based on the 20+–year experience of the RAS Library for Natural Sciences, they demonstrate how the Library interacts with the Internet and what impact it has got. The key Library functions are specified for the current period. The authors argue that academic libraries preserve their functions in science information support though modifying them in some way.
