Scientific libraries have to find proper solutions to the questions arising from the changes of information technology, as well as for contradictions between theory and the professional environment generated by the development of librarianship, and for the handling of tensions between scientific work in libraries and services. The most important areas of library management are the following: improving the effectiveness of the internal information flow, making the strategic goals of the library public among the staff; changing attitudes in the use of information technology; reducing organisational segregation; making relations between the national library and other libraries and scientific institutions more active; improving the relationship between central bibliographic services and their users; supporting internal scientific activities e.g. regarding the library's own collection; widening international co-operation into a Carpathian Forum.
