Introduction
Currently, a growing interest in the Arctic is observed, because large areas of the Far North are the most important geostrategic and resource regions. But the lack of a developed transport infrastructure and highly qualified labour resources complicates the development of this region. Under modern conditions the economic efficiency in northern regions is greatly determined by the level of technologies development and engineering designed specifically to work under severe conditions of the Arctic. Researches aimed at developing the northern technologies and equipment in the northern fulfillment need the full-value information support accounting requirements of new information technologies. Intensive development of cold regions engineering sphere is observed not only in northern countries (Norway, Canada, Russia), but also in China, Japan, USA. The importance of relevant information support of these research is obvious.
Cold region engineering information support
IEEE Xplore Digital Library provides access to the world technical literature in engineering and technology. The request "cold region engineering" shows about 1,200 documents for 19432016, mainly conferences proceedings. The most significant international forums are TENCON: IEEE Region 10 Conference; Remote Sensing, Environment and Transportation Engineering; IEEE International Symposium on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Underwater Technology, and others [1-7].
The highest publication activity is shown by Chinese, Japanese, American, Canadian authors. Their researches are related to various techniques and tools of snow, ice, permafrost observation, new devices to operate under severe climatic conditions. Norwegian publications are devoted to marine engineering study. The Cold Region and Arid Region Environmental and Engineering Research Institute (the Chinese Academy of Sciences), National Institute of Polar Research (Japan), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (United States) brings together groups the most productive foreign authors carrying out research in this field.
DB ScienceDirect (Elsevier) concentrating information on engineering and medicine covers 25% of world scientific publications. The request "cold region engineering" gives more than 5,000 journal articles concerning the topic for the last 2 decades (1997-2016). It should be mentioned that filters applying is needed in this DB to get relevant information. The most productive periodicals are the following: International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Applied Thermal Engineering, Renewable
Energy, Materials Science and Engineering, Building and Environment, Cold Regions Science and Technology, Procedia Engineering, etc.
It's worth to name the periodical of the American Society of Civil Engineers "Journal of Cold Regions Engineering", which materials are presented at ASCE Library (http://ascelibrary.org/ journal/jcrgei). The whole content of this journal is devoted to American and foreign research of northern engineering and technologies. The top 5 cited work of this resource are in the references [8-12].
The research provision with systematized information on engineering and technology in Russia have traditionally solved by the All-Russian Institute of Scientific-Technical Information of the Russian Academy of Sciences (VINITI RAS), which produces abstract journals based on the bibliographic database (DB) consisting of 28 thematic fragments and 217 sections, which have enclosed materials since 1981. To support engineering studies the following sections should be noted: Automatics and Radioelectronics, Transport Mining Engineering, Corrosion and Corrosion Protection, Metallurgy, Mechanics, Welding, Electrical Engineering, Energetics, etc.
A significant limitation of using all the mentioned above information resources is availability of their full-texts only for subscribers, as well as the difficulties in searching regional materials.
The largest information array devoted to this topic in Russia is DB "Problems of the North" generated by the State Public Scientific-Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPSTL SB RAS) - the central body of scientific and technical information of SB RAS. The mentioned above DB in 2011 was included in regional DB "Scientific Sibirica" covering information on the Arctic, Siberia and the Far East with its own subject heading.
The information array "Problems of the North" of DB "Scientific Sibirica" includes systematized materials on the northern technologies and engineering combined in several groups:
1) providing production with northern technology and equipments and in the northern fulfillment,
2) problems of building under northern conditions (house- and civil, industrial construction),
3) problems of deposit (ore, non-metallic, coal and hydrocarbon ones) development under northern conditions and in permafrost areas,
4) transportation development in northern regions,
5) northern agriculture problems (equipment and technology).
The Russian documents flow bibliometric analysis
The information support is not limited by DBs generation, but is also supported by a documentometric (bibliometric) research. A documentary flow (DF) on the problems of northern engineering and technologies from IM "Problems of the North" was isolated and its temporal, thematic, species-typical structures were analyzed. The volume of DF is above 11,800 documents for a 30-year period (1987-2016).
The DF temporary structure is shown in Fig. 1, it indicates the continued interest of scientists and specialists to the problem. There was some decline in publication activity in the 90s of the last century due to the crisis processes that affected both Russian economy and science. It should be noted that documents edited in 2015-2016 are actively entered the library nowadays, that's why the DF amount for the last five years will be much higher.
Fig. 1. DF dynamics
DF typical structure evidences that the articles from periodicals account about 40% of it. A "core group" Russian journals with high publication activity on this issue are the following "Gornyi zhurnal [Mining Journal]", "Nauka i tekhnika v gazovoi promyshlennosti [Science and technology in gas industry]", "Avtomatizatsiya i sovremennye tekhnologii[Automation and modern technologies]", "Nauka i tekhnikaYakutii[Sc"e nee and Engi neering sit Yakut"a]"andothktt.

Entering the library theses abstracts, which PhD dissertations were defended in 2015, are presented in references [13-23].
The specialization of northern resource areas is clearly traced in the DF thematic structure. The third part oADF matiriats refere la ischiiologieo oi dFposits miding radfiulds exploltatlsnin ihe Arctic, or mining infrastruc"tlre crektioncgpermafrost reeicst. About DF 30% are dev4-ed tl transportation technical-technological problems (laying and maintaining auto roads, railways, pipelines in northern areas). The tenth part of the DF documents concentrates on improvement of technologies in building under severe climatic conditions.
An interesting fact is that the DF regional structure coincides with the geography of research institutions with the highest publication activity.
42% of publications relate to materials on technology and engineering created for the northern regions of Siberia. Siberian scientists and specialists work actively in the following SB RAS' research centers: Institute of Physical-Technical Problems of the North (Yakutsk), Institute of Problems of the North Development (Tyumen), Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technology (Krasnoyarsk), as
well as teachers and researchers of higher schools - Yakutsk, Tomsk, Tyumen universities. Above one third of DF are publications of authors working in establishments of the Russian European North on creating new technologies and equipment in the Kola Scientific Center of RAS (Mining Institute, Institute of Physical-Technical Problems of the Northern Energetics) and Ukhta University (Komi republic). About a third of DF has no clear geographical frameworks, these works are devoted to the northern technologies and engineering in general.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it should be noted that information resources on northern engineering are diverse in content and edition types. The great number of information is published in scientific forum proceedings, which are held regularly on the issue, and periodicals specializing in this topic; there are journals devoted entirely to this problem. Research centers of cold regions engineering are functioning in a raw of countries. Investigations in this field of science are held actively by Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Canadian and American scientists, it is reflected in their publication activity.
Unfortunately the most part of publications' full-text in DBs is available either by subscription, or by license agreement. Free full-text information will succeed research information support of the topic.
