Lětopis Abstract 2018 1: Pohontsch, Anja and Wito Böhmak: On the Integration of the Sorbian Bibliography into other Digital Information Systems

The Sorbian Bibliography is a specialist bibliography with a broad spectrum of themes. The high level of specialist literature in Sorbian studies means that it deserves to qualify as an essential part of a bibliography of Slav studies. The last printed edition of the Sorbian Bibliography appeared in 2008 (for the years 2001-2005), each edition encompassing five years. Since then its users have had to rely in their search for literature in Sorbian studies on the electronic version (http://www.serbski-institut.de/cms/os/45/Serbska-bibliografi...), which however is limited in what you are able to access, both technically and in its content. As a result of the migration to other digital information systems of data relating to bibliographical entries from the Sorbian Bibliography, other paths have emerged, which enable specific searches for specialist literature to take place on the Internet. Some of the Internet portals are presented in greater detail in this article, amongst others, the South-West Association (SWB), the Slavonic Portal of the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin – Prussian Cultural Collection, as well as the Bibliographical Data Bank of Slavonic Linguistics in Sybislaw.
