Reference Books of 2016–2017: A Selection

Purchasers of this excellent guide to online resources for Slavic studies will probably want to download the ebook version because of its convenient links to most of the sources described. The compiler is a librarian in the University of Salzburg Library. The basic European resources are included as well as international and English-language sites, and the book can serve as a textbook on search strategies and techniques. The illustrations are screenshots of basic portals and websites. Descriptions of German and English-language resources for general Slavic studies are in two separate sections. The bulk of the guide includes systematic descriptions of online resources for each of the Slavic nations, and these are easily accessible through the table of contents. Baltic, Central Asian, and other non-Slavic countries are not included, but Slavists in all disciplines will want to consult this and may well discover new approaches and materials for their research.
