castle Russian and East European Serials

Most Russian and East European journals and newspapers are not shelved in the Serials Department reading room. They are located in the main stacks of Davis Library (and occasionally in Wilson Annex or one of the other libraries on campus), or are accessible in electronic format (see below). Please use the UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries Catalog to verify locations and holdings information.

To retrieve an alphabetical list of most serials in a particular language from the Catalog, first choose the Advanced Search (by keyword) option, and then:

  • in the first box labeled Any Field enter *
  • pick the Language you want from the drop-down menu lower down
  • select Title from the drop-down menu for the Search and Sort box
  • limit the scope to Journals from the drop-down menu to the left of the Search button at the bottom of the page, and click on Search
  • NOTE: Because some journals contain articles in multiple languages, do not be surprised if your search brings up some titles in languages other than the one you selected.

    An alternative strategy in Advanced Search mode:

  • enter serial in the first box labeled Any Field
  • pick the Language you want
  • select Title from the drop-down menu for Search and Sort
  • expand the scope to All Libraries & Collections on campus (or as needed limit your search to a particular location through the drop-down menu to the left of the Search button)
  • NOTE: The two searches will yield somewhat different results because of changing cataloging standards over time and different indexing methods.

    You can also limit your search to various types of microform , microfiche or microfilm by entering these words in the Any Field box, or to periodicals (serials published more frequently than once a year), annual , monthly and so on according to your needs NOTE: The keyword periodicals does not retrieve all daily, weekly, etc. frequent publications.

    The term electronic resource will retrieve some titles (including books in NetLibrary), but many online journals and newspapers are not found in the Catalog but through the Article Databases & More. For Russian electronic titles, use the following databases:

  • Universal Database of Central Russian Newspapers
  • Universal Database of Russian Regional Newspapers
  • Universal Database of CIS/Baltic Periodicals
  • Universal Database of Russian Social Sciences and Humanities Publications (includes archive of Voprosy istorii going back to 1945 and eventually 1931)
  • Universal Database of Russian Military and Security Publications
  • Universal Database of Russian Parliamentary Publications
  • Kodeks legislative database
  • Russian/CIS Statistical Publications
  • Russian National Bibliography
