Olena BEHMENKO, Director of the Library of Sumy National Agrarian University, raised the topic of the importance of the role of the scientific library in the information support of the educational and scientific process in all structures of the university. Modern education requires not only time, but also high-quality and up-to-date sources of information, for which the university community often turns to the library. In the context of distance learning, the electronic library is being adapted to ensure the highest quality educational and scientific processes.
