Objective. The study investigates the Digital Library Ecosystem (DLE) using the case of Dragomanov Ukrainian State University Scientific Library, regarded as a central element of educational and scientific interaction. The principle “Sic parvis magna” (“greatness from small beginnings”) is demonstrated through the transformation of individual academic efforts into outcomes of international significance. Methods. The methodology applies a systemic approach, conceptualizing the DLE as an integrated socio-technical and information-communication structure. Analytical instruments of library web resources are emphasized as key indicators of academic community needs. Empirical substantiation is provided through statistical analysis. Results. The findings show that the DLE ensures comprehensive accumulation of scholarly information, enabling its structuring and integration into global scientific circulation. The cascading mechanism proves effective, as individual materials (articles, dissertations, etc.) acquire amplified academic significance. Conclusions. By implementing the “Sic parvis magna” principle, the DLE operates as a full academic component within international science, strategically valuable for transforming a “minor” academic gesture into “major” scientific achievement.
