INTRODUCTION. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Nowadays, when education reform takes place in Ukraine, teachers and scholars study the ideas of an outstanding teacher, scientist, Director of Pavlysh secondary school, publicist, and children's writer Vasyl Oleksandrovych Sukhomlynskyi in order to understand and introduce them into the practice of educational institutions. Considering this and honouring the 100-th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian teacher-humanist V. O. Sukhomlynskyi, the 39-th session of the General Conference of UNESCO stated the problem of study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity as a strategy of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the SSPL). With the assistance of the Department of General Pedagogy and Philosophy of Education of the National Academy of Educational Sciences (NAES) of Ukraine, the SSPL realises one of its strategies, viz. it develops the study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity as a special phenomenon that unites scientists and educators around the study and popularisation of the teacher's ideas. It is no coincidence, as the SSPL provides information support to education in Ukraine.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The historiographical search showed that the development of Ukrainian and foreign study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity was systematically highlighted in research papers by Ukrainian scientists (L. D. Berezivska, H. V. Bielan, N. A. Kalinichenko, V. H. Kuz, O. Ya. Savchenko, O. V. Saraieva, L. P. Parkhieta, O. V. Sukhomlynska and others) (Berezivska, 2015;Bielan, 2014;Kalinichenko, 2005;Kuz, 2011;Savchenko, 1998Savchenko, , 2003Saraieva, 2008;Parkhieta, 2009;Sukhomlynska, 2005) and foreign scientists (A. Cockerill (Australia), E. Hartmann (Germany), Zhu Xiaoman (China), H. Frangos (Greece) and others) (Cockerill, 1994;Hartman, 2010;Siaoman, 2010;Frangos, 1998). Some other Ukrainian researchers wrote about the following aspects of activity performed by the SSPL in the area of study of V.O. Sukhomlynskyi's heritage: opening of the reading room of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's collection (L. M. Zalitok, 2003;L. I. Tkachenko, 2003 and others), naming the library after V. O. Sukhomlynskyi (V. Zotova, 2004 and others), opening of the monument to V. O. Sukhomlynskyi in the library (O. Pechenezka, 2008 and others), the state Ukrainika Naukova (Scientific Ukrainika) abstract database as one of the segments for popularising the study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity (L. Zalitok, 2014), the importance of bibliographic indexes about V. O Sukhomlynskyi's oeuvre and study of his papers by other researchers and teachers (T. Dobko, 2009 and others), holding the library section within the framework of pedagogical readings (I. Khemchian, 2011). However, the problem of multiple-aspect activities performed by the SSPL regarding the development of study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity as a component of pedagogy requires a complex interpretation.

METHODOLOGY
The main aim of the article is to reveal organisational and content principles of activity performed by the SSPL regarding the development of study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's heritage within the information space of Ukraine on the basis of the analysis of annual reports and materials available on the Library web portal and in the reading room of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's collection, and research papers. In order to realise the aim of the research, the following set of methods and approaches was used: general research (historical and pedagogical analysis, synthesis, generalisation, chronological); historiographical; source study; biographical; axiological; informational; monitoring of the website content. Since the study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's oeuvre is a topical one, there is a great number of research papers about the teacher and his ideas, editions and new editions of his works in the educational space. It caused the SSPL to carry out scientific and information work on systematisation of appropriate materials and creation of thematic biographical information resources and bio bibliographic indexes taking into account new computer technologies and information potential. Now the scientists of the Library continue to develop the study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity and popularise the teacher's ideas in the following forms: the reading room of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's collection, the sector on study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity of the History of Education Department (2016), the members of which carry out research work (they write research papers and prepare biobibliographic indexes); excursions, lectures, round tables, seminars, and book exhibitions. The following constantly updated information resources are available on the library web portal: Vasyl Oleksandrovych Sukhomlynskyi (1918Sukhomlynskyi ( -1970 (1976)(1977), and documentary films about the teacher (http://dnpb.gov.ua).

It
The following systematic cultural, educational, theoretical, and practical events are held for pupils, students, postgraduate students, doctoral candidates, educators, and researchers in the reading room: Due to the systematic, innovative, and diverse activity carried out by the Association, study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity is popular not only in Ukraine, but in many countries around the world. The Association holds pedagogical readings, scientific conferences, methodical lessons, and seminars (Savchenko, 1998).
In 2015 Sukhomlynskyi and modern preschool education' (2018). In order to arrange an exhibition it is necessary to create catalogues, that is a list of sources presented at the exhibition. The information about exhibitions and appropriate sources is available on the Library web portal.
The academician O. V. Sukhomlynska consulted the researchers of the Library, and they prepared three editions of bibliographic index about V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's life and activity (2001Sukhomlynskyi's life and activity ( , 2008Sukhomlynskyi's life and activity ( , 2013 (Sukhomlynska, 2001;Sukhomlynska, Rohova, Zalitok, 2008;Sukhomlynska, Rohova, Zalitok, 2014). In order to popularise the teacher's heritage in Ukraine and abroad the researchers of the Library published the most complete bibliographic index titled 'Vasyl Oleksandrovych Sukhomlynskyi: commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth'. This index contains publications devoted to V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's life and oeuvre for the 1945-2017. These indexes are the source and information base for the integral historical and educational study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's pedagogical ideas and fictions, as well as information about studies of his papers on education and introduction of his ideas into educational practice. We consider V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's pedagogical oeuvre to be a topical one under conditions of the development of New Ukrainian School, because it is an inexhaustible source on various issues in the sphere of educational theory and practice since it is characterised by its multi-vector and childcentred orientation. Therefore, there is no doubt that the bibliography will be constantly enriched with research papers in Ukraine, as well as abroad.
The information and bibliographic Outstanding teachers of Ukraine and the world resource (2008-2018) plays an important role in dissemination of study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity. This resource is an integral part of the national humanitarian space. Vasyl Oleksandrovych Sukhomlynskyi resource contains the following structural parts: the teacher's biography, bibliography of his papers and materials about him; some full-text works; photo gallery; societies, associations, and establishments, bearing his name; information about awards, prizes, monuments, pedagogical readings, and Internet resources connected with the name of this outstanding figure (Sukhomlynskyi Vasyl Oleksandrovych, 2018).
Undoubtedly, the information bibliographic resource is very important for the development of pedagogical science in general, and study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity in particular. It performs the following functions: it enriches historical and pedagogical knowledge about V. O. Sukhomlynskyi and his contribution to the development of science and practice (enrichment of the content of textbooks on history of education and pedagogical thought); it provides information support to historical and pedagogical science (material for writing dissertations and research works); it helps in training future teachers (material for writing bachelor and master theses); it is used while holding mass scientific and practical events (conferences, round tables, etc.) dedicated to V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's creative activity; it provides information in order to hold scientific, educational, and public activities at various levels. At the same time, it helps to disclose the Library collection, pedagogical sources in particular; to deepen information requests of a wide range of remote users of Ukraine and the world (researchers, teachers, students, postgraduates, doctoral candidates) on various problems regarding study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity. It should be noted that the mentioned resource is constantly updated in electronic form in line with new achievements in the sphere of historical and pedagogical studies, that is, in the future, it will comprehensively cover the teacher's life and activity in the national and foreign education space.

CONCLUSIONS
The SSPL being a structural part of the NAES of Ukraine carries out research, information, and socio-cultural activities concerning the study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity as a topical direction of pedagogy. Nowadays the following forms are used: carrying out cultural and educational activities (excursions and thematic lectures for educators, future teachers, and librarians; dramatisation of fairy tales and stories; exhibitions of children's creative works on V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's fictions; reading fairy tales and stories by children and librarians), and theoretical and practical activities (round tables, seminars, conferences, library section within the framework of pedagogical readings), and the creation of information resources, databases, and bio bibliographic indexes. The information on the results and experience in the area of study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity is available on the Library web portal, and this information is a component of the information space of Ukraine.
The SSPL plays a leading role in the development of study of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi's activity within the information space of Ukraine. However, we consider it necessary to understand on an interdisciplinary basis the information resources created by other libraries and educational institutions in order to study and popularise the ideas of the outstanding Ukrainian teacher under conditions of the development of the New Ukrainian School. This will be discussed in our further publications.
