Completion department. The path to the reader's book begins with this section. Currently, the book fund in the state language is especially popular. The main issue on the agenda is to provide the university with textbooks, the high quality of the library fund, and replenishment of the fund with scarce literature. The main goal of the department is to replenish the library fund in close connection with the scientific findings of the university and various sources for compiling and matching the profile of academic disciplines. The library collects its resources through additional replenishment: publications from the university press and charitable foundation, book exchange, periodicals. The book fund is provided with textbooks, teaching aids and scientific, educational and methodological documents and electronic media resources.
