The first professional standing Seminar “Information Provision of Science: New Technologies” has been held regularly since 1985. It is the platform for the library personnel, information workers and programmers to discuss the questions of development of the modern computer technologies for solution of library-information problems. Collections of materials of all seminars are published in printed form and presented on the website of the Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (BEN RAS). The article considers the situation in the field of the development of computer technology, existed in the mid-1980-ies that caused the need to organize the Seminar. There are presented the results of the analysis of Seminar proceedings published in 1985—2017, allowing to trace the development of library automation in the country. There is estimated the frequency of usage in the headings of reports of different terms related to this problem, that characterizes the dynamics of changes of its main priorities. Thus, the term ECM was widely used in 1980-ies, since 1991 ceased to be used; the term “electronic library”, which appeared in the proceedings of Seminar in 1999, reached its peak use in the late 2000-s, and then became quite “usual”; now in the titles of reports it appears much less frequently.
