INTRODUCTION

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

definitive list of WWW pages which provide information on any given subject. The situation is not any
different as far as the East European and Slavic resources are concerned. The goal of compilations like
this one should be to offer some convenient starting points for browsing on your own. The technology of

http://www.carpatho-rusyn.org/internet.htm (1 of 42)10.1.2005 17:43:18

 http://www.carpatho-rusyn.org/internet.htm

hypertext makes than easy to locate other WWW pages with similar information. The author made an
attempt to provide information on WWW pages which give the best introduction to the subject and offer
the biggest amount of links to other resources on the Internet. There is an impressive amount of
databases which are not available to the entire public. One either has to be a member of a particular
institution or pay a subscription fee in order to be able to use resources like that. These highly developed
but restricted access databases were not included in this listing. People argue what East Europe is. Some
include in the region this and that country or nation, others do not. In this particular work the following
ethnic groups were taken under consideration:

● Albanians;
● Belorusians;
● Bosnians;
● Bulgarians;
● Carpatho-Rusyns;
● Croatians;
● Czechs;
● Estonians;
● Hungarians;
● Latvians;
● Lithuanians;
● Moldavians;
● Poles;
● Romanians;
● Russians;
● Serbians;
● Montenegrans;
● Slovaks;
● Slovenians;
● Ukrainians.

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

1.Major WWW pages. The author included here seven WWW pages which offer comprehensive
coverage of the entire region or at least give information on more than one country.

2.Ethnic Groups. Home pages of particular ethnic groups were listed here. Although many ethnic
groups have quite a few WWW homepage, the author decided to choose one of them or two at the most.
It was author's intention to list one WWW page which offers the biggest amount of ready-to-read
information and links to other Internet resources. In some cases two WWW pages dealing with the same
group were listed in order to achieve a better coverage of a particular group. It is author's belief that
WWW pages offered here for each of the ethnic groups will combine impressive amount of ready-to-
read information with a huge amount of links for further browsing.

3.On-Line Newspapers and News Services From Eastern Europe. This listing includes both English
and vernacular languages full text on-line versions of newspapers, newspapers and journals published
only in electronic version as well as news services, similar to on-line edition of for example CNN, but
dealing with the region.

4.American Academic and Research Institutions in the Field of East European and Slavic Studies.
Two types of information are provided here:

a) information on particular institutions, size and special values of their East European and Slavic
collections accessible on-site only. It is very convenient to find out details about such institutions
before one makes a trip to use their collections.

b) on-line available resources: -on-line catalogues for obtaining bibliographic data. One should
keep in mind the fact that only a limited amount of items held in these collections could be found
in their on-line catalogs. The rest is accessible only through old printed catalogs. -on-line full-text
resources prepared and made available to the public by particular institutions.

6.American Professional Organizations in the Field of East European and Slavic Studies. WWW
pages of a few professional organizations are listed here. From information included there one might
find about the goals and activities of particular organization. Some of the pages provide access to the
Internet resources on East Europe.

5.American Academic Journals in the Field of East European and Slavic Studies. The best idea here
would be to have a list of full text services, but there is not many of them available on-line. WWW page
listed here provide either full-text service or offer description of a particular journal and usually table of
contents of its previous issues.

6.Full Text Sources

7.Dictionaries. On-line dictionaries are included here. Only a few of dictionaries available on-line were
prepared by institutions. The majority was made available by private people. As a result of that, one day
such a dictionary is on-line and the other day it is not.

materials housed in the open stacks of Suzzallo and Allen Libraries. There are extensive
collections for Russian and East European history and for Slavic languages and literatures. Slavic
and East European materials are also a conspicuous presence in the Libraries' collections on
religion, geography, social sciences including economics, political science and government,
