Slavic & East European Information Resources (SEEIR) serves as a focal point for the international exchange of information in the field of Slavic* librarianship. Affiliated with the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), this English-language journal features original research, new developments in the field, regular columns and reviews of relevant material. Subjects covered include acquisitions, cataloging and metadata, collection development and management, digitization, information literacy instruction, preservation, and reference; as well as works on individual Slavic collections, Slavic book studies, as well as anything that touches on the practice of Slavic librarianship in North America, in the countries covered, and elsewhere in the world. Goals of the journal include enabling widespread Slavic librarians to exchange information and be aware of each other's efforts; serving as the backbone of an international network of mutually supportive Slavic librarians; promoting the development of Slavic librarianship; and contributing to the improvement of the status, condition, and accessibility of Slavic collections everywhere.Although Slavic librarians are SEEIR's main readership, any librarian with responsibility for Slavic collections, or serving students or scholars of Slavic studies, will find it useful.*The terms "Slavic" and "Slavic & East European" are to be understood as shorthand for the following Slavic and non-Slavic countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, (Modern) Greece, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

Social Semiotics is a journal that publishes high quality papers that deal with the study of communicational resources and practices through words, images, behaviours, settings, sounds, design, etc, and the way these are connected to the organization of societies and everyday lives. Articles can include linguistic analysis, visual analysis, content analysis, ethnography, interviews, production studies and can be tied into political economic analysis. Social semiotics is critical sign study which is aware of the specific and strategic ways in which signs are created, used and received in different domains. It is a form of enquiry applied to specific instances and problems. It asks 8216;8216;what kinds of semiotic resources are used in specific institutional or social contexts and how do these reflect and conceal specific interests, power relations and communicative strategies?''.
