The key sources of professional information for the linguist are revealed. They are presented in the form of massifs (bases) of information in various Internet resources. A number of the general and special problems of informatization of linguistic and literary knowledge are considered. The following electronic educational and scientific resources in the form of Internet libraries are allocated: dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, and archives. Their main feature is full openness and service use. Scientific novelty is defined by the fact that information in electronic databases is constantly updated and the material taken for a research was not exposed to such analysis earlier. The practical importance of this analytical review is that the considered information technologies and Internet resources can be used to accelerate and simplify training and scientific research of linguists. As a result, the conclusion is drawn that information technologies, and applied linguistics are capable to be for the linguist not only a source of dynamic digital information, but also directly object of a research as communication linguistic phenomenon.
