Russian Periodical Index Digital Project (Letopis' zhurnal'nykh statei, 1956-1975)

摘要

The Indiana University Digital Library Program has digitized and published on the World Wide Web a twenty-year portion of Letopis' zhurnal'nykh statei (1956-1975), a serial publication that indexes Russian periodicals from 1926 to the present. It covers more than 1,700 journals, series, and continuing publications of academics, universities, and research institutes in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, as well as some popular literature. The work was partially funded by a three-year (1999-2002) U.S. Department of Education grant. This article describes the challenges the Indiana University Digital Library Program encountered in digitizing and encoding this resource and creat- ing a bilingual Weh site to deliver a usable, searchable reference work. The grant has ended but work continues to improve the online index.
