Subject: Newsletter Website: Social Sciences in Eastern Europe
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.
