BIBLIOGRAPHICAL HEURISTICS AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SEARCH: CORRELATION OF THE CONCEPTS ESSENCE

The purpose of the article is to identify the essence of the concepts «bibliographical heuristics» and «bibliographical search», to discover the relationship between them. The methodology is based on the use of scientific analysis, synthesis, comparison methods, that allowed us to identify, investigate and compare the essence of the proposed concepts. The use of a structural approach made it possible to build a communication environment of bibliographical heuristics. The scientific novelty of the work consists of the correlation of the concepts’ essence «bibliographical heuristics» and «bibliographical search»; the definition of the communication environment of bibliographical heuristics. Conclusions. The concepts of bibliographical heuristics and bibliographical search are correlated as a science and an object of study of the science. Bibliographical heuristics is the science of theory and practice of bibliographical search. Bibliographical heuristics develop rules, determines the search strategy depending on the type of search query, the criteria for issuing search results, and the nature of the dialogue between the user and the information search engine. It is the theoretical basis of bibliographical search. The object of bibliographical heuristics is bibliographical search as the process of bibliographical activity associated with the search for bibliographical information, enhanced by intuition, logic, experience, which depends on the specific situation and tasks of the search. The main components of bibliographical search are bibliographical finding and identifying. Bibliographical search is a clarification of bibliographical records, an identification of missing elements in them, a correction of errors distorted in the query. Bibliographical identifying is an exhaustive selection of bibliographical records on a particular topic. Bibliographical heuristics and bibliographical search exist in a certain communication environment that accumulates and disseminates bibliographical knowledge. Key words: bibliographical heuristics; bibliographical search; correlation.
