Subject: Soviet-Era collectibles still wanted
Hello Friends,
Thank you to all those ( Russian and American ) who took the time to
respond to my original post, I received many, many letters, as well
as starting what is sure to be a long-lasting friendship with a Russian
professor living in Columbia!
I would like to mention that I'm still interested in any Soviet-Era
collectibles. If you are planning on going to Russia, or are planning
to come to the U.S.A., I would appreciate any offers to purchase pins,
badges, or whatever you may happen to bring back with you.
Thanks again everyone!
p.s. you can send me mail at ac990@freenet.buffalo.edu
Cheers,
Art

Subject: ABSEES Online
I just accessed Friends and Partners via Mosaic. Congratulations on a most
useful addition to the array of WWW/Mosaic resources, and one of the first
(if not the first) in the Slavic/Russian studies field.
I'm the editor of the American Bibliography of Slavic and East European
Studies, or ABSEES. ABSEES contains bibliographic records for materials
about East-Central Europe and the former USSR published in the US and
Canada. It covers many subject areas, from art, culture, and literature to
economics, politics, science and technology, and military affairs. (It
also contains records for materials about East-West cultural, academic, and
scientific exchanges.) An online version of the bibliography has been
available at no charge over the Internet since late 1992. It's called
ABSEES Online and it's based on a minicomputer at the University of
Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science. ABSEES Online
currently contains over 17,500 records from the mid-1980s onwards. New
records are added each month. The database can be searched by author,
title, series name, or subject, and users can download up to 100 formatted
records at a sitting. The login procedure is as follows:
1. telnet alexia.lis.uiuc.edu
2. login: absees
3. password: slavibib
There is an online "help" document.
Would you consider adding a link to ABSEES Online ((a
href="telnet://alexia.lis.uiuc.edu")Telnet ABSEES Online (/a)--html
syntax?) in the "More Information Resources" section of Friends and
Partners?
Thanks for the good work!

Finance has close contacts with the American volunteers, especially with
Mrs. Carolyn Taylor, who is responsible for computers and E-mail, and
educational projects. We had provided assistance for them to make
contacts via E-mail with some people of USA on the first stage of their
stay in Rostov. They, in turn, gifted many American textbooks,
concerning studying business, to our students."
