It is emphasized that despite application of new technologies we cannot neglect traditional role of librarians. Particular place in activities of library associations of the industrial world belongs to the libraries of developing countries in which are still great problems not only with an introduction of online services but also with offering traditional library services connected with the development of collections and their preservation.
