Abstract

A call slip analysis for the years 1985 through September 1988 was conductcd in the Slavic and Baltic Division of the New York Public Library in order to determine the usage of the Current Periodical and Newspaper Collection by the Division's patrons. The conclusion of this analysis was that the most read materials were newspapers published in Russian. It confirmed findings of earlier studies on Russian or Soviet readership that newspapers are the primary source of information about current events in the Soviet Union for Russian readers. Russian emigres constitute a majority of the Division's patrons.
