Information services, besides traditional ones (information and bibliographic advisory, thematically searches etc.) and direct form of providing them (catalog information, methodical advisory etc.) also includes electronic means of providing information based on electronic sources and computer techniques (data bases and OPAC). This kind of development in new information techniques allows to wide and modernize Library’s information workshop, in which crucial role plays carefully created by librarians Library's web page, rich in full-text and information services. It is multifunctional information portal of module structure, created to provide fulfillment for various information needs of readers, to be reported via broad networks.

Rich library collections, and especially special collections, force great need of services concerning their protecting (microfilming, digitization) and conservation.

Important parts of services are didactical and training activities as well popularizing ones. Especially important for proper quality of services to readers, become trainings of librarians as well as constant training of users (group and individual ones).
