During 2024, most of the University buildings were closed to visitors due to military aggression and the potential threats associated with it. Therefore, in 2024 the Scientific Library (SL) carried out its activities mainly in a remote format.
The only source of the SL fund replenishment were donations from readers, teachers, employees, University graduates and charitable and public organizations and publishing houses. Thanks to these revenues, the Scientific Library's fund was enriched with publications on information technology, programming, artificial intelligence, as well as valuable and meaningful publications on environmental topics.
During the year, a number of activities were carried out aimed at improving the "ElAr KhNURE" (https://openarchive.nure.ua/) institutional Repository, in particular:
- the main page of the resource was updated;
- its functionality was improved
- new Regulations on the “ElAr KhNURE” Repository were developed;
- a permanent Commission for Control and Development of the Repository was created. Its competence includes determining strategic directions for its development, formulating proposals for conceptual changes, and processing requests from users.
The "Osyayannia" Literary Club continued its work in the direction of socio-cultural activities. The following events took place during the year:
- presentation of the UwURead online platform for authors of original works, fan fiction and poetry, introduced by Tetyana Hrynko, the founder of the platform and a permanent member of the Club;

- launch of #книжкові_враження_осяяння, a new section, within which participants discussed their impressions of the books they read.
In the area of scientometric investigations, searches were conducted in the SciVal according to various criteria, distribution of the University authors’ publications by journal quartiles; analysis of data on the Sustainable Development Goals; and reports on co-authorship with scientists from other countries. To use the built-in comparison tool, the lists of the University Department employees were unloaded to the SciVal, which made it possible to conduct comparative analysis by the number of publications, citations, h-index, and other indicators.
The electronic resource of the
“Q1-Q3 Journals by the Scopus Version” was also expanded, information on publications that comply with the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the UNO began to be added to it.On June 24, 2024, a contract was concluded for the purchase of services for checking texts and documents for borrowing using the StrikePlagiarism.com online system.
