Russian Literature

Books

This guide gives a list of relevant Library of Congress Classification call-number ranges for Russian literature researchers who like to browse the stacks.

Browsers should be aware, however, that, due to space constraints, a substantial proportion of Princeton University Library’s collections is stored offsite (catalog records for materials stored offsite include a link for requesting delivery to campus). The collection as a whole can only be surveyed through the Library;s Website or the online catalog. Princeton’s catalog also displays records for millions of items held in the Shared Collection of the ReCAP Partners (Columbia, Harvard, New York Public Library, and Princeton). The lion’s share of that Shared Collection is stored in the ReCAP high-density storage facility about 2 miles from Princeton’s campus. Items from are partners’ collections are requestable and deliverable through the same mechanisms as our own items stored offsite.

The catalog does not, however, represent all of the material available to Princeton researchers. The Borrow Direct consortial arrangement allows Princeton researchers to access the collections of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, MIT, The University of Chicago, The University of Pennsylvania, and Yale. Materials not available at Princeton University Library but available at the libraries of these other institutions can be requested thorugh the Borrow Direct Service. Materials not available through any of the Borrow Direct partner libraries can be requested through Interlibrary Services.
