Welcome to Digital Resources for Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus!
This guide will introduce you to the databases available at UCLA for digital archives, newspapers, and journals for Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Resources with the key symbol
are available to UCLA students, staff, and faculty on-campus and remotely, since it is a paid subscription. Non-UCLA patrons are welcome to visit the library to access these resources once the UCLA campus re-opens.
We at the library understand the difficulty of accessing resources as UCLA transitions completely to online instruction for Spring quarter. During this time, we encourage students, faculty, and staff to utilize and enjoy our growing digital collections for Slavic studies. Use the Newspaper Archives, Journal Archives, and Art & Performance Publications tabs to the left to explore the electronic collections.
Connecting from Off-Campus: VPN & Proxy Tutorials
The Library's online subscription resources can always be accessed from computers and wireless networks on campus. However, off-campus access is restricted to current UCLA, students, faculty, and staff who have set up their computer using one of the methods below. Click on the other tabs to see how four Bruins got their computers set up and ready to go for remote access!
If you still need help, you can contact the UCLA IT Support Center at (310) 267-4357 or help@it.ucla.edu. They provide 24/7 phone support.
