Introduction: a review of modern approaches to the creation and improvement of information systems such as "electronic library" is conducted. The goals and objectives of electronic libraries, the peculiarities of their functioning conditions are summarized and systematized. The role and place of the automated electronic library management system, its goals, composition and functions are investigated. The relevance of ensuring the cybersecurity of electronic libraries and automated management systems is justified. The key concepts in the field of cybersecurity of electronic libraries are formulated. It is shown that it is possible to increase the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures by applying (in combination with traditional means of protection) the rules and procedures of cyber-hygiene of users and operators of an automated electronic library management system. The subject of the study is cyber hygiene, as a set of cybersecurity practices, a set of methods and precautions, as well as habits, knowledge and skills of protection that can significantly reduce the risks of cyber threats. Purpose: the purpose of the research is to analyze the existing and develop new areas of theoretical research and organizational and practical developments in the field of cyber hygiene of users and system administrators of the electronic library to ensure the cybersecurity of both the library itself and its automated management system. Results: the paper presents an approach to the analysis of the concepts of the physical essence of cyber hygiene, as an interconnected set of methods and practical steps that can and should be taken to maintain the system's performance and improve cybersecurity. The formulations of particular tasks of cyber-hygiene and possible ways of their solution, aimed at creating modern means and methods of protection of electronic libraries, are proposed. Practical relevance: the presented approach allows us to formulate and justify the directions for improving the effectiveness of cyber hygiene, as a multi-leve and multidimensional practice of performing everyday (sometimes routine) operations to prevent cyber threats. They will allow not only to prevent serious consequences of loss or modification of the collect ed, stored and processed information, but also to predict the risks of cybersecurity of electronic libraries.
