On my 12 year experience as reader in Kazakhstan and foreign library, I announce about unprecedented title of NABRK. From the time of opening, National Academic Library of RK discovers absolutely new informational world to Kazakhstan people. The pronounced work in library as accessibility and topicality of information, quality service, comfortable searching, economy of time, and ergonomic are realized.

In contradistinction to other project, NABRK created for readers, orientated to readers, it isn't regular formal budget project.

Entering the library you see wide architecture of building, decorated with art achievement, the walls inspire on searching and art. Faces of library are polite, responsive and educated librarians discrepant by higher level, not same as standard librarians of Soviet time. I can figuratively speak out that I feel myself as Kazakhstan citizen with great letter.

NABRK sets up large base of science literature on various themes in 5 year functioning, beginning from serious monographs to intermittent materials as newspapers and magazines. Today the library levies fictions, especially foreign classics and heritage of Kazakhstan. The most important of the fund are electronic literature, audio and videotext. All of these are insured by modern techniques and high program provision. Regularly increasing of the fund allows NABRK to obtain a world level.

You can find a literature of any theme you want in NABRK, it's enough to know subthemes, or highlight keywords and replace it with synonyms. Searching system of NABRK will do rest of it for you in few seconds by tucking up necessary resource of literature and forming the reader's criteria. You can order at home or in office without going anywhere by internet site http://kazneb.kz, and when you come to library your orders will be ready. These books may be at your home, because you can order them by mail, just choosing necessary pages by content. Some resources are given on site KazNEB yet on full text format, and it's only beginning of great project.

The accessibility and simplicity of use of KazNEB lets show up Kazakhstani literature to the world, and quotation of Kazakh writers and scientists will appear on foreign treatises.

Not long ago I faced with international telephone call: Kazakh Diaspora's ambassador in Japan refers me to help him to write report about Kazakh industry, in order to make a speech in conference in Tokyo. Knowing about KazNEB from me he was genuinely glad and said: “In this case, I will write it myself”. In spite of loosing client, I was glad.

NABRK allowed me to rise to new level of research and creation. High level research work was possible through fund of rare books, also limited access database: foreign library and international organizations. I succeeded remove form light genre of fiction to complicated historical novels and futuristic novels on the basis of science fantastic.

Coming to NABRK, you understand that Kazakhstani culture, science, art and literature doesn't stop on XX century, and doesn't forget by social-economic problems, in spite of this it is existing and developing.

Undoubtedly, NABRK is worth to be image of Kazakhstan on a world informational space.
