In addition to specific
subject bibliographies, there are a few major works that endeavor to
capture all the scholarly output related to the Slavic world. These
bibliographic series are very broad in scope, collecting citations from
virtually any academic discipline. These works have also gone digital
and are far more current than the printed works that have been discussed.
The caveat here is that the electronic sources are limited with regard
to their retrospective nature. Older materials are being incorporated,
but one must not assume that the absence of an electronic citation is
the end of the search.
In addition to these specific subject Indexes and Abstracts, a quick check of Historical Abstracts would be quite useful.
