The research aims to identify the main trends of development of the communication models of university libraries activity (CMULA) of Ukraine under the conditions of library informatization and integration into a single communication space of information society. CMULA are considered as a complex of target–oriented processes of the basic communication facilities exchange (documents, information, knowledge) in the corresponding forms, which are transmitted over communication channels, reproduced in the corresponding schemes of communication flows movement and determined by certain communication links within existing communication medium (according to the state of university library development). It was determined that the linear CMULA is typical for documental and communicational level of library functioning, the nonlinear interactional CMULA – for information and communication level and nonlinear integration one – for cognitive and communication level of library functioning. The main factor of the change of linear communication model for nonlinear one became informatization in libraries. The linear, interactional and integration CMULA were characterized. It was concluded that evolving the libraries of Ukrainian higher education institutions move from interactional CMULA to integration one. The main directions of the university library communication activity under conditions of informatization are as follows: 1 – forming of the internal communication medium as system that incorporates internal information flows and links created during the process of communicators interaction based on the use of the information resources, technologies and communication channels; 2 - integration into external communication medium, which is a single informational educational and scientific Internet space.
