In his rsport, Dr. Zalski expressed his positive view of the personal sharing of every day life in a foreign library cY1tined with a prngram of infonastion of special interest to a o.irator in the field of East Eurcpean studies. So I plan arj stay in the United States with sate expectations. Stanford agreed to tiathrj the internship so that it wald coincide with the Third World Omigress of Soviet an East D1rsan Studies in Washington D. C., the tharlotteeville ocrifereia on ediange of poblicaticzis ani a visit to the University of Illinois at Urbena-thançaign. Fbr ad Information on East zean holdings ar librarians activities, Stenford Is surely th. best pl In lifornia aed ate of the best in the United States. This oay.lueion can be drawn after a visit to Stanford, Berkeley, Urbana, Washin3tca, ani tharlotteevilla. The presex of a rn university library with good holdings in the East brtpean field in the neitborhood of Hoover Institution provides exosptional cççortunities for stholars ani students of Slavic languages ard literatures ard many aspects of social sciences concerning Eastern Eurcçe (mainly history, politics, eny, law, etc.). Th fact that Eezlceleys holdings ani other (San Francisoc Russian Hosesi) are very close makes Stanford still zre attractive. Ozp.aterizaticei of catalogs ard blbliogra*tical informaticn can be fasi in artet U. S. libraries. In alitiat to this at Stanford, the attraction of the library building (Cecil H. Green Library), pertiailarly the reading facilities In the stacks, the ho1dli tmaselves aM their descriptions in several thlicatiate Beesed to ma a sl for G.ztten ]Jbrmries. This Is also the case In respect to the Library of the Iver Institution on War, Revolution, aM Peace with its f.ntastic holdings whith are not unkeown in Germany. The intrrductory aJraes for ,tunts offered by Dr. Zaleweki sees to ma very helpful. They are only te aspect of his varics professional activities. In addition, visits to eeveral bookstores in the Bay area, partionlarly to Szweds In Palo 1to were not only interesting but of practical mae for the Herder-Library Th Slavic aM East ircean Dsparbaent of the University of Illinois at Urbana-thanpaign is fanris for several reasate. First, the Slavic holdings are rmaarkable, partionlarly eznin Russia, the Soviet Union, aM Czedelcivakia. Offering these holdings to an International ccmiamity of stholars is ate of the porposes of the renowned sstmar 1reee. Iutother aM maybe the main reason far Urbana-thaapaign's rsputatiat is the bibliogra*tical Information servic, In the East Rurean field. Prof. Marianne Tax tholdin, bead of the Slavic aM East Ruropean tartnent has great marits for organizing Internatiatel oz.cperation of librarians In the East Pbrciean field. This cooperation was ccntixued at the 'Third World Ortgrese for Soviet aM East Exrcpsar Stuiee In Washington D.C. Osrents att this Q-zress will certainly be of greater Interest to German librarians. So they will be azitted here. A mare detailed German version of this rsport will be pobliahed In 15. aX6D-'ragung, Wurzbarg (Hal 1986), Referate tiM Beitrage. Pbr the same reason I leave cot my rqtort at the International Book dtangas Crtferenoe at the University of VIxinia in tharlotteeviUs wbic*t took place after the Washingtcm qress. Nevertheless a foreign guest of this aretference feels thligsi to express his gratitude to Its. Argelika Sc*mtiegelow-BoweU for her efforts In organizing this tferare. Suuimarizing my stay in the United States I h&ve the bipression that the Slavic aM East Ruropean sector in American libraries also benef its frma the central services offered in cataloging by the Library of Congress. 39
In aparisczi with Germany, xrern tedmie is further advanced, sore has been done to describe collections aed furri-raisiog for libraries seesm to be sore effective. The crstition between state aed private institutions se.m to be stisolatirq. I want to express lay gratitede to DIrtor tvid Weber aixi all the 2ritera of the staff of Stanford University Libraries with thciu I was able to discuss matters of professional interest. Dr. Wojcieth Za).eweki elaborated a spleediI pes of information into the many aspects of his professional activities. I thank him sincerely for all his help. C1L Nauka Project Roret von Cbinielewski Herder-Institut A survey is beirq ocniucted by the Center for Researth Libraries to determine the disriboticm of publications of the caderty of Sciences of the USSR in North ?mrican libraries. This survey is interned to provide Information that will both help the Center evaluate its n aoguisitixe policies related to cadeiny p.Slications aixi enable Slavic bibliograers to tailor their efforts so that they might sore fully ccçlesent one another's collections. They survey was designed at the University of Illincis at Urbana-thaapaign, there the results are also being tab.ilatad.
