Leich’s outstanding service as a Slavic librarian from 1969 to 2019 earned him the Distinguished Service Award of the Committee on Libraries and Information Resources, delivered during the 2019 annual convention of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES). He began as a cataloger at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where six years later he was promoted to Librarian for Slavic and East European Acquisitions. From 1987 until retirement he served at the Library of Congress as Russian Area Specialist. For his last 20 years there he also served as the specialist for Modern Greek. He assisted Dr. James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress and noted scholar of Russia, with many projects. Over his career, Leich produced more than 50 publications, mostly concerning Russian materials, but also on Modern Greek collections as well as on book matters relating to other countries. He participated on many ASEEES committees, and he also served on committees for the American Library Association, the Modern Greek Studies Association, and other societies.","PeriodicalId":35387,"journal":{"name":"Slavic and East European Information Resources","volume":"22 1","pages":"252 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228886.2021.1917069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45529928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of open access journals from this region is analyzed through regional listings in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and information about the development and implementation of open access repositories is taken from the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) platform. Additional information about OA resources and development projects was found through UNESCO’s Global Open Access Portal. The study’s findings show that, even with support from international groups like EIFL and OpenAIRE, the region’s open access market lags behind that of more developed countries. Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stand out among Western Asian states, and Cyprus took the important step of instituting a national public open access policy. Awareness projects and workshops will be a vital step in helping the countries of Western Asia to see the value of open access and to build a stronger OA infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":35387,"journal":{"name":"Slavic and East European Information Resources","volume":"22 1","pages":"85 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228886.2021.1874349","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44848187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Giullian","doi":"10.1080/15228886.2021.1874288","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15228886.2021.1874288","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to Slavic & East European Information Resources’ (SEEIR) first issue for 2021. Volume 22, Issue 1 (2021) is a regular issue with a diverse collection of research articles, column pieces, and book reviews. I would like to thank all of the contributors who found a way to continue working on their manuscripts amid the difficult circumstances of 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I would also like to thank all of the section editors who likewise found a way to meet all deadlines while adjusting to new conditions at their respective institutions. I would like to express special thanks to Janet Crayne for her many years of service as the journal's Memoirs Editor. Janet’s vast subject expertise, institutional memory, sensible judgment, and careful editing have contributed to a meaningful and lasting body of memoirs over the years. Janet will be succeeded by Angela Cannon, from the Library of Congress, who will begin serving as the journal's new Memoirs Editor on January 1, 2021. The present volume features two research articles, the first being a historical analysis of the Library of Congress Classification subclass DJK, and the latter being a case study about alternative Slavic, East European, and Eurasian (SEEE) punk collections. Column pieces include the description of a fascinating digital collection preserved in Switzerland, which appears under the In Our Libraries column; two contributions to The Internet section, which highlight the development of open access (OA) in Estonia and Western Asia respectively; and a memorial tribute to the late June Pachuta Farris, who passed away unexpectedly in 2018. The issue concludes with four book reviews. The Research Articles section consists of two articles and opens with a piece by Regina Carra entitled, “DJK: (Re)Inventing Eastern Europe in the Library of Congress Classification.” In this meticulously documented “life of a call number,” Carra traces the evolution of classification for Eastern Europe and the subclass DJK. The author makes a point of reminding readers that classification schemes are not static systems. As the author notes, “the concept of a region is not natural or objective, but rather an intellectual invention or artifact of a particular historical context.” Classification schemes, like other intellectual constructs, reflect the weltanschauung (worldview) of their architects, their time, and their place; and they evolve as the world evolves (or as their arbiter’s worldview evolves). Carra’s piece offers insight into the imperfections of the Library of Congress classification (LCC), or any classification, and the complexities of making adjustments to the system as the present advances into the future and retreats into the past.

They have always been prolific producers of physical documentation of their attitudes, beliefs, and actions. At the same time, these scenes have often existed on the margins, which has led to the creation of fugitive collections of self-documentation. In Slavic, East European and Eurasian (SEEE) countries, this documentation has historically taken the form of non-traditional music releases, zines, and samizdat. Due to the often-illegal nature of these creations, the materials did not find immediate homes in official repositories, and the fugitive materials experienced a covert diaspora initially across Eastern Europe and later across multiple continents. The author provides a case study of the current state of collections of non-traditionally published SEEE punk materials to highlight the challenges that face access and use of marginalized, diasporic collections. This paper provides a definition of punk in a SEEE context; offers a literature review to illustrate the discourse and collections that address Slavic and East European punk materials; draws connections between SEEE punk alternative publications and broader marginalized fugitive collections; describes obstacles faced by collections of Slavic punk materials; and concludes by way of recommendations for addressing these challenges in order to improve access and use.","PeriodicalId":35387,"journal":{"name":"Slavic and East European Information Resources","volume":"22 1","pages":"32 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228886.2021.1874303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41590649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
