Central and Eastern European Online Library Revisited

I want to introduce to the readers of this blog Central and Eastern European Online Library's website. At UC Berkeley, we subscribe to this database. Currently according to the self-description of this database, one can access 922 scholarly journal titles that are from the Central and Eastern Europe in Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines.

The site has several useful features. The site allows its user to cross-search across these journals using the advanced search. Also, the site allows user to see what the new content has been added since the last visit.

 The advanced search feature can be accessed here. Since this is a proprietary database our users who access it from a off-campus should use their proxy or vpn software.  The advanced search looks like the following image.

Besides, various journals from various other countries including Italy and Japan.

In memoriam: Asghar Ali Engineer (1940-2013)

I am shocked to hear about the passing of Asghar Ali Engineer in Mumbai. Although, in now way related to Slavic Studies, he continued to share insights about Islam and its role in contemporary society of India until his last days.
