The article deals with the optimization of the cataloging process of dissertation abstracts at the State Scientific and Technical Library (SSTL) of Ukraine. Automation of entering bibliographic descriptions of dissertation abstracts into the database is based on the fact that according to the current rules a bibliographic description of the publication is created from the title page. However, abstracts do not have a cover sheet, so the main information is taken from the cover. According to the rules for composing a thesis abstract, the title page is designed so that each paragraph contains certain bibliographic information.The process of automating the creation of a bibliographic description of abstracts, in fact, involves the programmatic placement of indices of division in the text from the covers of these documents, which facilitates their further import into the relevant database.The analyzed automated abstract introduction process was developed with the help of VBA software for Word and tested in the Scientific Research and Development Fund department of the SSTL.
