The five largest Russian libraries are creating an integrated electronic catalog of their bibliographic descriptions and full-text electronic resources; the libraries involved are the Russian State Library, the Russian National Library, the All-Russian State Library of Foreign Literature, the Parliamentary Library and the Scientific Library of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. The aim of the project is to help a closer integration of human and electronic resources of these libraries into the European library network, and to allow Internet users to simultaneously look through the catalogs of the partners' libraries and to access the electronic copies of dissertations, books, periodicals, lectures, map collections, etc. The libraries are working in cooperation with the National Library of Scotland, the Prussian State Library in Berlin and the Italian National Library in Rome.
