Sources for Slavic & East European Library Materials (Database)

[Brewer, Michael]

All, 
 
On behalf of the Collection Development Subcommittee [of AAASS's Bibliography & Documentation Committee], I would like to introduce you to our new Database of Sources for Slavic & East European Library Materials.  This is a database-driven list of suppliers of books and other materials from Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet union.  The list of records can be limited by language and/or format (for example, one could return a list of all sources for Czech serials, for Armenian videos, for Central Asian books, etc.). 
 
This database was created primarily for Slavic librarians, but is also being made available to Slavic scholars for their personal use. The database does include a number of "Library Exchange Partners" that trade books/journals exclusively with libraries.  These suppliers should not be contacted by individual scholars. The records for exchange partners are clearly marked and the default searches should not return any records for these suppliers.   

Currently we have around 200 records in the database.  While we feel we have made a good start, we are also quite certain that the list is not yet comprehensive and may still have some irregularities.  We would encourage you all to browse through the list and suggest any additions, changes, or modifications to the data we have collected. A form is provided for this purpose. We would especially welcome submissions for the lesser collected languages and formats. 
 
You can access the database here: http://s3.library.arizona.edu/slavvend/index.jsp  We would encourage you to bookmark it for future reference.
 
If you have any questions about the database, please feel free to contact me or any of the member of the subcommittee.  You may also use the feedback/questions webform linked from database.
