bibliogra*ic records have been irpit into the C databas, aM into
Illinois' 1l alms catalog. In aditticis, since Illinois participates in
the Wi project, iis authority records were subaitted to IC for each

These nesie authority records will be distrihoted to the cnline databases
aid networks after review at IC. It is hoped that these mess authority
records will be useful to other libraries then they catalog Soviet
Turkie sat.erials (or translatiors of eLxth into Russian).
In the slx-mcnth period, 1,210 titles were cataloged (primarily
works of literature, tht also sane ncn-ficticn works, primarily in the
areas of linguistics aid literary oriticiss), aid a total of 795 mass
