Online Catalogs
Major Russian Libraries
Some major Russian libraries have online catalogs. Below is a sample search screen from the Russian State Library catalog. The site is in Russian and requires the use of Cyrillic. The default search is a general search of the library catalog. Information on each item is very thorough, as shown in the sample entry below. This particular item was the result of a general search by the author's last name. Your search terms are in bold wherever they appear in the record.
Please note that, as with most American catalogs, to search a Russian library catalog, you need to enter the author's last name first, followed by the author's first and middle name.
