Reference Sources - Print
There are hundreds of literary bibliographies, most devoted to specific authors. Excellent bibliographic materials are often included in biographical sources such as IAzykov' s Obzor zhizni i trudov pokoinykh russkikh pisatelei.
Because of the large number of bibliographic sources in print for each of the countries of our region, it is often most useful to begin with a general guide to the bibliographies for the subject. This may seem like an infinite regress but it is often the quickest way to pinpoint the source you need for your topic. Beginning with a source like Murlin Croucher's "Slavic Studies" or an even broader guide to bibliography such as Balay's "Guide to Reference Books" you can identify the general bibliographic and reference sources on an unfamiliar topic. You can also use the online catalog with a heading such as "Slovenian Literature--Bibliography" to get an idea of the titles available here in the library and, possibly more useful, the call number range in which they and other titles can be found.
General Published Guides
- Bibliographien zum Schrifttum aus und über Osteuropa : Katalog des Bibliographischen Lesesaales der Bibliothek des Osteuropa-Instituts Berlin - Freie Universität Berlin. Osteuropa-Institut. Bibliothek
Call Number: F. 015.47 F882B
The catalog lists those materials available at the institute and is limited only by the contents of that institution's library. The catalog is organized by country and then subdivided into subject headings. Each regional section contains copies of the card catalog cards for specific bibliographies. - Slavic studies : a guide to bibliographies, encyclopedias, and handbooks - Croucher, Murlin
Call Number: Q. 016.947 SL16
ISBN/ISSN: 0842023747
Croucher's two volume work on Slavic studies is an excellent overall guide to resources in the Slavic field. He includes not only bibliographic titles, but reference resources of all types. While it is extremely thorough, listing thousands of sources, the subject headings are somewhat idiosyncratic. It is, however, well worth the effort! - Bibliography of Islamic Central Asia - Bregel, Yuri
Call Number: 016.958 B746B
ISBN/ISSN: 0933070357
This is a tremendous resource for anyone interested in the Islamic culture and history of the region. It is certainly not limited to bibliography and includes citations to many of the major works on the area. There are three volumes, covering the following subjects: pt. I. History, religion, culture -- pt. 2. Descriptions and Travel, written sources for Central Asian history, ethnography, folklore, folk entertainments, physical anthropology -- pt. 3. Archeology, numismatics, architecture, visual arts, auxiliary historical disciplines, historical geography, historiography, bibliography, addenda, indexes.
Russian Literary Bibliography

If you are in need of the print sources for Russia you will find it useful to begin your search with a guide to literary bibliography.
