About the possibility to keep library science, bibliography science and book science in the nomenclature of scientific specialties

In March 2020, a draft of a new Nomenclature of scientific specialties appeared, which is a form of recognition of the scientific character of a particular field of activity by the state. The specialty 05.25.03 library science, bibliography and book studies was recognized by this Nomenclature from the moment of the first defenses in library science and bibliography - in 1938. However, it is excluded from the draft of the new Nomenclature. The article suggests a possible correction of the situation - by reflecting it in the status of the specialty in group 5.10 art and cultural Studies, leaving the possibility to defend dissertations for pedagogical, historical, philological and cultural studies.
