Census of Modern Greek Literature from Boston College
FREE ACCESS
 
Description: The 'CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature' database aims to facilitate access to Greek literature for speakers of English by providing references to all English-language translations of modern Greek literature and to all studies in English that relate to modern Greek literature from the twelfth century AD to the present. A special, unique feature of the CENSUS is that it fully indexes the contents of large collective volumes such as anthologies or journal issues (in greater detail than in any other available source). Personal names are also indexed by their function (e.g., literary author, translator, editor, etc.). Both features thus facilitate detailed searches (both simple and complex) and precise retrieval.

The online presence of the CENSUS makes the entire collection of references fully searchable. Furthermore, besides connecting the variant spellings of the literary authors' names in English with their Greek name, linked data connect the CENSUS's collection with other standard databases and lead the reader directly to online sources for immediate reading (where copyright permits).

Chernobyl Collection: Documents and Maps from East View Information Services
ON-SITE ONLY
 
Description: The explosion of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26, 1986 in the Ukrainian city of Pripyat is considered one of the worst nuclear disasters in history, especially if one is to consider its economic and environmental consequences. Affected were not only the areas in the NPP's immediate vicinity but also large parts of what was then Soviet Ukraine, Soviet Belorussia, and many countries in Europe. Much has been written on the accident, the structural shortcomings of the disaster management operations and the subsequent cover-up by the Soviet authorities, and recently Belorussian writer and journalist Svetlana Alexievich won the Nobel Prize in Literature for her book Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster where she painstakingly documents the fallout and its effects on ordinary Ukrainian and Belarusians. Yet 30 years after the disaster, a definitive account of the Chernobyl tragedy seems to be lacking, if only because many of the government documents and other relevant material had been classified and were out of the reach of academics. The recently declassified documents, now available through East View Information Services, makes fresh research into the causes and the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster not only possible but urgent allowing researchers, policy-makers, environmentalists and nuclear industry insiders unprecedented insight into the Ukrainian and Soviet decision-making process. The importance of such insights cannot be overestimated, since among other things it can serve as a valuable learning resource.

The collection includes more than 70 maps of the area, reports prepared for and by a variety of Soviet and Ukrainian government agencies, such as the KGB, documenting and detailing the most important developments in the wake of the disaster, but also internal reports and investigations on the its various causes. These include the problems with the design of the NPP, and the extent of the Soviet and Ukrainian government knowledge on many of the shortcomings that made the Chernobyl meltdown not only possible but in a sense inevitable. Some of the most fascinating items from the collection are internal reports, communiques, and correspondences between various heads of local and regional KGB officials long before the tragedy. Some reports going as far back as the beginning phase of the construction of the plant provide solid documentary evidence of criminal neglect in the building process, the unwillingness of the authorities to address the issues raised by the KGB and its vast network of informants, and the subsequent attempts at cover-up. One such report provides a painstakingly detailed description of the use of subpar building materials offering up a particularly spectacular microcosm of corruption, theft, and neglect that underlined Soviet central planning. The collection also contains documents relating to the less known September 9, 1982 partial meltdown of the reactor Block no. 1, the subsequent mishandling of which was perhaps the first indication of the inevitability of the 1986 accident. All in all, the collection contains materials going as far back as 1971 and up to 1991 offering a unique window into the entire spectrum of the secret information circulating within the Soviet and Ukrainian governmental structures.
