Online resources in Slavic and East European studies: A primer
The following list (currently available at http://www.libraries.iub.edu/index.php?pageId=1002831) was compiled in early 2011 for one-hour session that aimed to introduce beginning graduate students in Slavic and East European studies to a variety of electronic resources available through the Indiana University Libraries and some stable and useful open-access resources. Needless to say, the list will be regularly modified and updated to incorporate new resources. Please direct any suggestions and comments to Wookjin Cheun (wcheun@indiana.edu).
