As a part of the 1997 modernisation plan, a proposal was elaborated in the Russian State Library for the mechanisation of the library, and the introduction of information technology. TACIS, the technical support project of the EU, provided financial and mental aid for 18 months at the start, with late Soviet states as their targets. As a part of the project the Aleph 500 software was installed, as well as 45 new computers. The place of a Sun server has been formed, softwares with Cyrillic characters were installed, Internet connection was established, basic concepts of management were introduced, and professional further training courses were held. The article describes the programme TACIS in detail, further it presents the most recent developmental project, called OREL (Open Russian Electronic Project) that aims at the realisation of a public digital library.
