Book Description
The following compilation is offered to librarians, students, translators, and researchers as a practical working bibliography of current Russian reference and linguistic materials. It is the outgrowth of a day-to-day use of these materials in a research library concerned largely with Soviet studies. In view of the increasing significance of Soviet science and technology, the bibliography is confined almost entirely to those areas, and does not attempt to cover the social sciences or humanities. Neither does it attempt to be historically inclusive; instead, entries have been limited as far as possible to publications issued since World War II and still in print. Appended to the bibliography are a brief description of Russian transliteration systems (the Library of Congress system has been used throughout the present work), a selective listing of U.S. and foreign dealers in Russian books and periodicals, a list of abbriviations of Soviet publishing houses, and an author-title index to the citations.
