Objective. The article is devoted to the study of means and methods of information use, as well as meeting the information needs of remote users in the activities of Dnipro’s libraries, archives and museums. Methods. The analysis method was used to define the concept of “information”, the terms “modern means of information use” and “modern methods of information use”, as well as to examine the products and services provided through digital communications, considered as tools of information use and meeting the information needs of remote users of these document and information structures. The methods and the means of information use were also analysed. The synthesis method was used to make conclusions. Results. It was determined that the means of information use may include various channels and tools employed for obtaining, collecting, processing, reproducing, disseminating, and perceiving information. The types of digital communications used by libraries, archives, and museums were also examined, including their division into internal and external communications. It is stated that external digital communications can be grouped and contribute to creating and utilizing shared information resources, products, and services with other institutions. They are also effective means of information use and meeting the information needs of remote users. Conclusions. Establishing the presence of document and information structures in social networks is a crucial aspect of their activities. Digital communications in social media have become effective tools for engaging new users, providing information, facilitating information use, and meeting the information needs of remote audiences.
