DOING RESEARCH AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

Introduction

This web page indexes Princeton University Library's collections from and about Russia, the Former Soviet Union, and Eastern and Central Europe which support campus programs and research in general.  The page is designed to assist patrons in learning about our collections, conducting research on the Princeton campus, and connecting to data available in electronic formats wherever they can be found in the world.  It surveys the scope and depth of holdings as well as suggests some search strategies for accessing information at Princeton and elsewhere.  Separate sections for basic bibliography, resources for current events information, and principal links for WWW Russian and Eastern European sites comprise this home page.  Some links to bibliographic and informational resources are accessible only to Princeton University students, faculty, and staff.

Transliteration

There are many ways to represent Cyrillic characters in Roman letters.  Princeton University Library (PUL) uses the Library of Congress Transliteration Tables. Other Databases especially those originating in Russia and the former Soviet Union may use other conventions.  Please adjust your search accordingly.

Consortial Arrangements

Princeton University Library participates in several consortia, one of which deals specifically with the Slavic area.  To learn more about this group, see East Coast Consortium for Slavic Collections.
