Abstract
Increasing prestige of science, educating scientific and innovative outlook in population and its faithfulness to science and scientists make the priorities of the national policy. The authors present the findings of the survey of Novosibirsk library users (as the segment of society). The survey was to reveal their attitude toward science. The authors conclude: the overwhelming majority of users trust in scientific knowledge and acknowledge science significance. They demonstrate the willingness to keep pace with the latest developments. The specialized Internet resources and libraries are the main sources of information. The respondents are not eager to make decisions on science advancement and applying them, acknowledging that it is researchers and scientific communities that are to set forward research problems. It is of no account to the respondents which country researcher reside in. The users see the libraries as a depositary of scientific and popular literature, site for mass event intended to promote science. However their commitment is not that high: up to the half of the respondents “read sometimes”, and even less number attends popularization events (mostly tours). Probably, changing displays and diverse exhibitions would contribute to scientific knowledge promotion. The libraries are not at all times capable to provide access to scientific knowledge. The users are seen to be most interested in exhibitions on the subjects of psychology, medicine and technological achievements.
Supporting agencies: The study has been carried out under the project “The current state and trends in developing Russian science communications with the society” (founder code FWZE-2022-0012; Government Registration Number 1021053106841-4-1.2.1;5.8.3); the authors offer their thanks for the support in surveying: Novosibirsk public libraries to: State Public Scientific and Technical Library of RAS Siberian Branch; Koltsovo Municipa Library, Novosibirsk State Regional Juvenile Library, Siberian Scientific Agricultural Library, Centralized Library System of Dzerzhinsky, Leninsky, Kalininsky, Kirovsky, Oktyabrsky, Pervomaisky, Sovetsky, Central Districts of Novosibirsk, Krasnoobsk Centralized Library System, K.
