In the XXI century. agriculture, making up a significant share of the economy of Ukraine, continues to play a leading role, and is not only a guarantor of food security, but also of the country's statehood in general. One of the fundamental components of the further development of this process is information and library support for scientific support of agro-industrial production. In Ukraine, the coordination of these functions, and especially their methodological content, is entrusted to theNational Scientific Agricultural Library of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (NNSGB NAAS).

Main goal NNSGB NAAS – providing every resident of Ukraine with the possibility of free access to national and global information resources on agricultural and forestry topics.
