Currently, given the overall collapse of the economy, this is impossible to achieve. Therefore, we have only one solution: to move from individual book ownership to collective book usage. Collective use of books is possible only with the development of the wide network of libraries” (Krupskaya, “Centralization of Librarianship” “Pravda”, 1920). Books like agricultural land • The Bolshevik Commissariat issued a directive to confiscate and nationalize all private book collections with more than 500 books “belonging to the citizens whose professions do not require books as proletariat require their tools”   (Verzhbizkiy, 1924).  Cleaning “disorganizing” books from library collections • The collectivization of books within library collections also facilitated Communist party control over their contents.  • “There are books that organize and there are books that disorganize“  Special collections • Krupskaya in place the practice of cleaning these “disorganizing” books from library collections • Throughout the Soviet period, librarians were responsible for maintaining up-to-date lists of forbidden works and removing them from public view.  • Later in the Soviet period, some books purged from libraries would resurface illicitly as Samizdat Changes Since 1991 • Shift in library rhetoric from information control to information access, “user” focus – Interest in Internet: “Libraries must take it upon themselves to implement the digitization of the whole book heritage of the Ukrainian people.” • Moves to Westernize library education – Masters degree introduced • But changes  – in practices  – personnel and leadership very gradual Libraries in transition   Libraries in Ukraine •25 000 + •18 000 – public libraries  •800 +  – universities libraries •900 + - medical libraries  •Total book collection – 400 mln.vol.
