ABSTRACT:       The Indiana University Digital Library Program(1) has
digitized and published on the World Wide Web a twenty-year portion of
Letopis' zhurnal' nykh statei (1956-1975),(2) a serial publication that
indexes Russian periodicals from 1926 to the present. It covers more than
1,700 journals, series, and continuing publications of academies,
Universities, and research institutes in the humanities, sciences, and
social sciences, as well as some popular literature. The work was
partially funded by a three-year (1999-2002) U.S. Department of Education
grant. This article describes the challenges the Indiana University
Digital Library Program encountered in digitizing and encoding this
resource and creating a bilingual Web site to deliver a usable,
searchable reference work. The grant has ended but work continues to
improve the online index.
