The Kazakhstan Library Union has launched a new information portal designed for industry professionals. The portal compiles legislative and regulatory documents related to librarianship, methodological and educational materials, industry publications, and information about domestic publishing houses.

The information portal aims to facilitate experience sharing among library professionals. Along with news and information about upcoming events, it publishes training materials and features a forum for professional discussions. Meanwhile, the "Zerdeli Ult" initiative focuses on promoting a culture of reading, enhancing the role of libraries in society, and popularizing national intellectual values.

Notably, the new resource was launched at a time when several important changes are underway in the library sector. A draft law "On Libraries and Publishing" is currently being discussed, and international standards for bibliographic description are being introduced. In addition, mechanisms for recording electronic documents are being developed, with a special emphasis placed on applying digital technologies and artificial intelligence tools in library work.

The official portal of the Kazakhstan Library Union, kitaphanalarodagy.kz, operates in Kazakh, Russian, and English. Users have access to a search engine and thematic filters to easily find the information they need. After registering on the portal, additional services can be accessed through a personal account.
