The library's online catalog has almost 160,000 records. The library has automated registration of readers. The library is also actively pursuing retrospective conversion of small parts of the collections to machine readable form. The library uses Universal Decimal Classification as an additional field in their online catalog, starting with 1994. The library uses email, but the cost of access to the Internet is too high to allow access for readers - there are plans to work cooperatively with a local Internet service provider to create a public access Internet program for readers within the library.
Email is used for communicating with other libraries.
The library has been maintaining a online union catalog for periodical titles for 40 libraries in the Kaliningrad oblast. Publishing of works on local history has increased in recent years. The library is interested in pursuing further exchanges with interested partners, although there are serious problems with the cost of postage for sending materials to partners. Neither of these organizations is responsible for the views expressed here.
