The Consequences of Glasnost.

Zilper, Nadia

Library Journal, v116 n9 p44-49 May 15 1991

Offers an overview of Soviet and Eastern European publishing practices. The history of communist publishing practices and the dramatic effect which Glasnost has had upon these practices are summarized. It is observed that highly unstable conditions in the USSR have severely jeopardized bibliographic control and hindered collection development in the United States. (25 references) (MAB)
