The article analyses characteristic features of the formation of system of secondary specialized library institutions in Ukraine in the 1920s — 1950s, as well as various professional courses and secondary technical schools that trained library specialists. The purpose of this article is to reveal the distinctive features, the main factors and stages of formation and development of secondary specialized library education in the Ukrainian SSR in the 1920s — 1950s, to characterize the varieties, features of creation and development of technical schools, which trained library specialists of mid-level management, especially library technical schools. The author used both general scientific research methods (description, comparison, analogy, deduction, induction, analysis, etc.) and historical (historical-comparative, historical-typological, historical-diachronic, chronological) methods. The author proves that in the second half of the 1930s, the country developed the system of secondary specialized library education, consisting both of training courses, retraining of specialists and also of a number of special educational institutions — various types of technical schools and other institutions where librarians were trained. In particular, there was formed the network of special library technical schools. Based on the analysis of historical, socio-political, cultural and other social factors, the author proposes periodization of formation and development of secondary special educational institutions, which trained library workers. Training of specialists in library technical schools and other secondary institutions became the basis for the formation of human resource of librarians of mid-level qualification for the different types of libraries (mainly for mass). The results and conclusions of this work can serve as a source material for further research on the history of secondary special library education; the material can be used in the special course lectures on the history of library education.

The purpose of the article is to present the historiographical review of the studies on the history of domestic librarianship, aimed at summarizing the interim results and identifying the trends in development of the history of library construction. The author determines that the research works on library construction in the USSR republics prevail in the studies on the history of librarianship. Research works on the history of library construction in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine dominate among them. Since the 1990s, the vector has shifted to the study of library construction in certain regions, areas and Autonomous republics of Russia. The regions of greatest interest are Siberia and the Urals, as well as Tatarstan, Bashkiria and Orenburg region. In chronological terms, the most studies are devoted to the history of Soviet library construction. In addition to comprehensive research studies, the works on the history of formation and development of particular library technologies — such as creation of collections, book description and library services — occupy a definite place. The history of library education is of considerable interest to the experts. The researchers studied the history of library science in sufficient detail.The author noted that there formed the central and regional schools in the field of history of librarianship. Moscow and St. Petersburg schools occupy the main place among them.The author determined that the lack of synthetic, comprehensive scientific research in the area of source studies, archaeography and historiography of the history of librarianship is the main drawback hindering the development of the history of librarianship. The article notes that without these studies it is impossible to conduct the generalized research covering the history of the domestic librarianship from its origin to the present time. The article continues the earlier studies.
