Slavic & East European Information Resources
Instructions for Authors
Aims and Scope. The purpose of Slavic & East European Information Resources is to provide a forum for the international exchange of information in the field of Slavic and East European (henceforth, Slavic) librarianship. Information includes original research, technical developments, news of the profession, reviews of books and electronic media, indeed anything that touches on the practice of Slavic librarianship in North America, all of Europe, the former Soviet Union and elsewhere in the world. Slavic & East European Information Resources will emphasize the current, concrete, and practical sides of Slavic librarianship, although it will not exclude other subjects.

When an article, book, or report is cited, a superscript number should be placed at the end of the referent sentence, clause, or quotation. Number such citations sequentially as the paper continues, and list all references at the end of the article, numbered in the same order in which they are cited in the text. Use the form of the author's name that is on the article or the title page of the book that you are using; do not shorten all first names to just an initial. Use the short-title form for subsequent references, not ibid. The reference section, like the text, should be double-spaced throughout, and should conform to the following style:
