~ About the B & D Committee and this site ~

The AAASS Bibliography & Documentation (B & D) Committee, consisting of scholars and librarians in the fields of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies, works throughout the year on a wide range of topics and ventures that include--but are not limited to--copyright, digital projects, microfilming projects, vendor issues, collection development, and the American Bibliography of Slavic and East European Studies (ABSEES). These tasks are carried out by B & D subcommittees (Subcommittee on Copyright Issues, Subcommittee on Digital Projects, SEEMP Subcommittee, Subcommittee on Collection Development, and Subcommittee on ABSEES). The committee meets annually at the AAASS convention to discuss the progress and outcome of the year's efforts.
