Slavic & East European Information Resources (SEEIR) serves as a focal point for the international exchange of information in the field of Slavic* librarianship. Affiliated with the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), this English-language journal features original research, new developments in the field, regular columns and reviews of relevant material. Subjects covered include acquisitions, cataloging and metadata, collection development and management, digitization, information literacy instruction, preservation, and reference; as well as works on individual Slavic collections, Slavic book studies, as well as anything that touches on the practice of Slavic librarianship in North America, in the countries covered, and elsewhere in the world.

Goals of the journal include enabling widespread Slavic librarians to exchange information and be aware of each other's efforts; serving as the backbone of an international network of mutually supportive Slavic librarians; promoting the development of Slavic librarianship; and contributing to the improvement of the status, condition, and accessibility of Slavic collections everywhere.

Although Slavic librarians are SEEIR's main readership, any librarian with responsibility for Slavic collections, or serving students or scholars of Slavic studies, will find it useful.

*The terms "Slavic" and "Slavic & East European" are to be understood as shorthand for the following Slavic and non-Slavic countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, (Modern) Greece, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. (The editors understand that these terms may not be those preferred by the citizens of some of the nations included; however, the available alternatives are much too long. The list of countries is based on those recognized by the government of the United States, where the journal is based.)
