Abstract: The state of acquisition of foreign publications of the scientific special library is considered. There is a shortage of current foreign publications in the library’s collections due to the lack of subscriptions to printed publications and the death of international document exchange. The role of foreign publications in the formation of CSAL information products and informing users is emphasized. The essence and basic data about open access to scientific publications, the main models of open access and its advantages are considered. The role of open access journals at the present stage in obtaining reliable information about the state of world agriculture, about the trends of its development in individual countries, about the achievements and prospects for the development of agricultural science in foreign countries is emphasized.
