ABSTRACT

This article describes an acquisitions trip made in mid-1992 by Library of Congress librarian Michael Neubert with then-bibliographic services contractor Mikhail Levner to Moscow (Russia, Yerevan (Armenia), Minsk (Belarus), Tbilisi (Georgia), and Chișinău (Moldova). This trip was made in response to the collapse of purchase acquisitions from these newly independent former Soviet republics in order to establish exchanges with national, academy of sciences, and university libraries.
