Abstract
The article presents the main stages of the A.M. Bochever’s biography, a known specialist in special bibliography and library science, who worked in the Central Scientific Agricultural Library (CSAL) for 27 years and 19 years of that period he held the position of the director. A.M. Bochever acted as an author and editor of different bibliographic textbooks. He published above 100 works; in particular he was a co-author of a textbook on agricultural bibliography “Literature on Agriculture”. He made a substantial contribution to the theory of library science and bibliography, as well as the establishment and development of the CSAL. The A.M. Bochever’s views are presented with respect to bibliography and its place in the society, the problems of a library, the separation of functions of a library and scientific and technical information bodies, the role of coordination and cooperation in the activity of agricultural libraries. He regarded bibliography as a basis for all types of scientific and technical information, emphasized its social and cultural role. He proposed to consider the bibliography of agricultural literature as an independent branch of general bibliography. He promoted creating in the CSAL of a bibliographical information system comprising alert (an initiator of creation), recommendatory, retrospective and current bibliography. In the 1960s he organized in the CSAL the Centralized Bibliographical Information (CBI): the distribution of a ready catalog card which was both the centralized catalogization of publications on agriculture, as well as the current bibliographical information. He advocated for coordination of the work of libraries and their cooperation in library service. The A.M. Bochever’s ideas were reflected in series of industry-wide methodical documents, including “Regulation on the Unified System of Scientific Technical Information of the USSR State Agriculture Committee”.
