Functional Structure of Tomsk Library Science Museum’s Book Collection (1919–1921)

The paper deals with the principles of the book fund organization in Library Science Museum (1919–1921), created by the future famous library scientist and bibliologist D. A. Balika during his professional formation in Tomsk. The Museum was created for didactic and methodological support of library professional education. The author shows the functional structure of the book collection and gives comments on possible dynamics of its composition, describes the methods to identify the source books and the sample books basing on the features of their publishing and printing form and various aspects of content (affiliation to a particular branch of knowledge, psychological type). She characterizes the ways to use two mentioned types of editions in educational process. (That is for the formation of knowledge and skills in library science, book studies, author studies and reader studies in a passive or active way – by the assimilation of the source books’ content or by the analytical description of the sample books). The author traces the biblio-psychological (Rubakin’s) traditions and biblio-pedagogic innovations in D. A. Balika’s vision of librarian’s “inner work” (“reading guidance” within the framework of the extracurricular education program). The transformation technology of a non-specialized fund into an educational one implemented by D. A. Balika seems to be relevant nowadays due to the strengthening (restoration) of the reader focus in the programs of higher library education in Russia and Ukraine at the beginning of the XXI century.
