Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to describe the influence of academic
libraries in the formation of information resources in the field of architecture and
construction in Azerbaijan Republic. This paper will describe funds, electronic
resources, bibliographic databases and also electron catalogs which are available
in academic libraries about this field.
Methodology. The article uses complex methods that complement each other.
At the same time, documents in the field were analyzed, taking into account
the method of systematic approach, attention was paid to the theoretical and
practical analysis of the literature on the problem under study. Statistical and
chronological methods were used for researching how many academic libraries
are available in Azerbaijan and how they are working with the fields of architecture
and construction science.
Findings. Initial findings indicate that there are some important libraries that
were established in the last century and their activities are at the level of modern
requirements. They also work with huge international databases.
Practical applications. As in the case in all areas, the study of document and
information flow related to architecture and construction is directly related to
libraries. Thus, the library is one of the main and historically original information
institutions that provide public access to socially important document information,
one of the producers of information products and services.
Originality/value. Nowadays as the importance of architecture and construction
science is increasing, there is no doubt that information resources in this field
also become valuable. That is why we need to collect, organize, and create a
repository so users will have access to these data. Academic libraries fulfill its
mission.
