Summary
Mission Statment
"A project to increase awareness
of and disseminate information about libraries and archives in Ural region
among the American library and academic community"
General Information
-
The main objective of this Project is to increase awareness of and disseminate
information about libraries and archives in the Ural region among the American
library and academic community.
-
This objective was made possible by conducting an conference for three
days in the city of Ekaterinburg, at the center of the Ural region, where
information was gathereed about the region's archives and libraries and
an assessment was made of the state of exchange relations with libraries
in the region.
-
The results are published on this web site. This is based on summaries
of responses to questionnaires from the regional libraries and archives.
This workshop approach to library assessment survey travel was used successfully
under previous IREX sponsorship in Khabarovsk (Russian Far East) and Irkutsk
(Eastern Siberia) in 1994, Samara (Volga Basin) and Rostov-na-Donu (North
Caucasus) in 1995, Novgorod (Russian West) and Petrozavodsk (Russian West)
in 1998, and most recently in Kaliningrad ("the most western," or "samaia
zapadnaia") in 1999. This time, representatives from the most important
libraries and archives in the Ural region were invited to a three
day conference. The conference included:
- establishing exchange relations with American research libraries
- use of "public relations" techniques by libraries and archives
- the role of the Internet in libraries and archives
- completion of detailed questionnaires by representatives of
the attending regional libraries and archives
IREX
funding of this Project will lead to improved communication and cooperation
between American research libraries and archives and those in the Ural
region. Without these ties it will be difficult to build and maintain
strong collections from this region in American academic libraries.
The Conference in
Ekaterinburg
The project funded
a three day conference in Ekaterinburg, Russia, in September, 1999.
Invited were representatives of the larger libraries and archives in the
Sverdlovsk Oblast (primarily from Ekaterinburg) as well as from the neighboring
oblasts of the Ural Region. In addition to Russian participants,
there were three American participants - Tatjana
Lorkovic (Yale University), Ellen
Scaruffi (Columbia University) and Michael
Neubert (Library of Congress). Tatjana Lorkovic was the overall organizer
and successfully applied for funding from IREX. Ellen Scaruffi was the
American specialist on archives. Michael Neubert assisted with logistics
and presentations on library-related matters.
The Ekaterinburg conference took
place September 22-24, 1999 and was hosted by the Sverdlovsk Oblast Library.
As host library, the Sverdlovsk Oblast Library library staff provided
invaluable help in organizing and coordinating the seminars--without their
help they would not have been possible. In Ekaterinburg the conference
was called (in Russian) "Biblioteki i arkhivy regiona 'Bol'shoi Ural',
informatsionnye uchrezhdeniia SShA: resursy i vzaimodeistvie" [Libraries
and Archives of the Greater Ural Region, Information Agencies of the USA:
Resources and Cooperation].
The conference program in Ekaterinburg
included sessions on regional library cooperation, grantsmanship and other
sources of non-budget financing, Internet resources, new methods for library
"publishing" (including the Internet), book exchanges, library management,
"public relations," interlibrary loan and document delivery, and international
cooperation.
The conference was run with each
session including short presentations by both the American and Russian
participants facilitating a full sharing of information. Russian participants
learned from the experiences of their Russian colleagues and had the experiences
of the American librarians to compare to their own.
The American participants had opportunities
for visits to the larger libraries in the city of Ekaterinburg as well
as the oblast state archives. This conference gave the opportunity
for the American participants to gather information about the participating
Russian libraries and archives that is reflected on this web site.
