mount of information available on the Internet grows up rapidly. It is impossible to compile a

finitive list of WWW pages which provide information on any given subject. The situation is not a

fferent as far as the East European and Slavic resources are concerned. The goal of compilations lik

is one should be to offer some convenient starting points for browsing on your own. The technolog

ypertext makes than easy to locate other WWW pages with similar information. The author made an

tempt to provide information on WWW pages which give the best introduction to the subject and o

e biggest amount of links to other resources on the Internet. There is an impressive amount of

tabases which are not available to the entire public. One either has to be a member of a particular

stitution or pay a subscription fee in order to be able to use resources like that. These highly develo

ut restricted access databases were not included in this listing. People argue what East Europe is. So

clude in the region this and that country or nation, others do not. In this particular work the followi

hnic groups were taken under consideration:

q Albanians;

q Belorusians;

q Bosnians;

q Bulgarians;

q Carpatho-Rusyns;

q Croatians;

q Czechs;

q Estonians;q Hungarians;

q Latvians;

q Lithuanians;

q Moldavians;

q Poles;

q Romanians;

q Russians;

q Serbians;

q Montenegrans;q Slovaks;

q Slovenians;

q Ukrainians.

he listing of WWW resources was divided into the following categories:

Major WWW pages. The author included here seven WWW pages which offer comprehensive

verage of the entire region or at least give information on more than one country.

Ethnic Groups. Home pages of particular ethnic groups were listed here. Although many ethnic

oups have quite a few WWW homepage, the author decided to choose one of them or two at the m

was author's intention to list one WWW page which offers the biggest amount of ready-to-read

formation and links to other Internet resources. In some cases two WWW pages dealing with the sa

oup were listed in order to achieve a better coverage of a particular group. It is author's belief that

WW pages offered here for each of the ethnic groups will combine impressive amount of ready-to

ad information with a huge amount of links for further browsing.

d vernacular languages full text on-line versions of newspapers, newspapers and journals publishe

nly in electronic version as well as news services, similar to on-line edition of for example CNN, bu

aling with the region.

American Academic and Research Institutions in the Field of East European and Slavic Stud

wo types of information are provided here:

a) information on particular institutions, size and special values of their East European and Sl

collections accessible on-site only. It is very convenient to find out details about such instituti

before one makes a trip to use their collections.

b) on-line available resources: -on-line catalogues for obtaining bibliographic data. One shoul

keep in mind the fact that only a limited amount of items held in these collections could be fo

in their on-line catalogs. The rest is accessible only through old printed catalogs. -on-line full-

resources prepared and made available to the public by particular institutions.

American Professional Organizations in the Field of East European and Slavic Studies. WWW

ges of a few professional organizations are listed here. From information included there one might

nd about the goals and activities of particular organization. Some of the pages provide access to the

ternet resources on East Europe.

American Academic Journals in the Field of East European and Slavic Studies. The best idea

ould be to have a list of full text services, but there is not many of them available on-line. WWW p

ted here provide either full-text service or offer description of a particular journal and usually tablentents of its previous issues.

Full Text Sources

Dictionaries. On-line dictionaries are included here. Only a few of dictionaries available on-line w

epared by institutions. The majority was made available by private people. As a result of that, one

ch a dictionary is on-line and the other day it is not.

Yale's library was among the first in America systematically to collect Slavic materials. Joel

Sumner Smith, its Associate Librarian in the late 19th century, was one of the very few in his

profession at the time who read Russian. The books and serials he acquired at the time today

form the core of one of the leading holdings in the West. With over 100,000 volumes concern

Central and Southeast Europe, as well as some 500,000 volumes relating to Russia and the sta

of the former Soviet Union, Yale's libraries are among the five largest collections in the Unite

States. Yale also has 5,518 current & recent subscriptions to serials and 142 current

subscriptions, as well as 245 microfilms of newspapers. ORBIS, the library's OPAC (material

obtained after 1977) is available at: http://webpac.library.yale.edu/webpac/orbis.htm
