[ALST-L] Newsletter Website: Social Sciences in Eastern Europe

[Nita Luci]

The November 16 issue of the Scout Report for Social Sciences has provided a 
pointer to an outstanding source of information. As noted below, the German 
Social Science Infrastructure Services (GESIS) publishes a quarterly 
news-letter called "Social Sciences in Eastern Eruope". The first website in 
the profile takes you to the index of all issues, which are available in 
both pdf (recent issues) and html (all issues). The second website provides 
the pdf version of the September 1999 issue of the newsletter. Excellent 
site.

This quarterly newsletter provides extensively annotated listings of new 
publications, research projects, and institutions involved in social science 
research in Eastern Europe. The most recent edition includes reviews of and 
links to online databases for the Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) 
and data from the first four installments of the European New Democracies 
Barometer. The newsletters are archived to 1997, searchable, and voluminous
in their coverage of ongoing work in the field. GESIS, the organization that 
maintains the newsletter, is "an infrastructural association which supplies 
fundamental social science services on a national and international level" 
on the European continent.
