Etching by Johann David Schleuen. 1740s O n 16 (27 New Style) May 1795 Catherine II gave her formal approval to a design for the building of the Imperial Public Library submitted by the architect Yegor Sokolov. Her officials began to implement the decision within days. Three issues of the St Petersburg Gazette carried an announcement inviting tenders. Building materials were acquired, workers hired and funds made available from the treasury by Catherine's verbal command. Construction of the first building in Russia specially intended to house a library began as early as June 1795. The site chosen lay in the very centre of the capital, at the junction of Nevsky Prospekt and one of the main cross streets, not far from the imperial palaces and closer still to the busy shopping complex of Gostiny Dvor. The idea of creating a public library had long been in the air. The eighteenth century had developed the tradition of book-collecting which went back deep into Russian history. Libraries became a customary feature of aristocratic and wealthy houses. But private collections could not really help to accelerate the formation of a Russian intelligentsia made up of "enlightened nobles" or further the expansion of the stock of educated men which the state required in ever-growing numbers. The problem was not solved either by the appearance in the first half of the century of libraries attached to the Academy of Sciences, Academy of Arts and other state institutions.

Buckler, Director of Undergraduate Studies (fall term) Concentration in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers an opportunity to develop proficiency in the Russian language and to apply that skill in one of two concentration options to the study of Russian culture and the crucial role it has played in the modern world. An alternative option is the concentration in Russian Studies, designed for students whose interest in Russia centers on such fields as history, government, economics, and sociology, in addition to language and literature. Students are expected by graduation to have done work for concentration in three cooperating departments. The general examination reflects the multidisciplinary nature of this option. The sophomore tutorial is an introduction to the interdisciplinary study of Russian culture and is taught jointly by members of the Slavic and History or Government Departments. The junior tutorial may, with the permission of the Head Tutor and/or Director of Undergraduate Studies involved, be taken either in Slavic, in History, or in Governmentas may senior tutorial in the case of honors candidates.

By Dmitriy Luchkin - January 2001 The last issue of Cultivate Interactive featured an article on the creation of the Russian Cultural Heritage Network (RCHN) [ Dmitriy Luchkin continues the story by reporting on Russian Museums Online [ Russian Museums Online was launched in May 1996 and the site now has about 30,000-45,000 visitors per month. Its comprehensive on line database contains 2,034 museums with detailed descriptions and images (in total about 9Gb) served by a powerful and easy to use search engine. Russian Museums Online is also a powerful guide to cultural Web sites. It currently holds approximately 550 detailed descriptions and ratings with most material presented in both English and Russian. Thinking back on my memories of starting up Russian Museums Online the first thing that comes to mind is the enthusiasm that we all felt for it. We were pioneers in a new area and were in awe of the exciting elements we faced. We also had a strong awareness that the further we were challenged and got involved, the better we strengthened our positions. Whilst resolving different emerging issues we were constantly gaining experience. It was in this way that a considerable amount of the expertise that has been of value to us was accumulated by our team. The key result of the initial activities carried out was the emergence of a development process. There were signs of a convergence between our social incentives and the needs of individuals; the development process successfully enabled a combination of the demands of the organisational environment and patterns of personal motivation shown by most of the staff. We luckily managed to organise the Russian Museums Online for release at a period when it was needed. At the time the process was not evaluated because the potential users had little idea about cultural Internet resources. A need for the product we were creating was never measured although it was easy to anticipate that the interest in Russian museums and galleries would gradually grow.

Extractions: T he Faculty of Social Sciences was founded in 1951, two years after the reorganization of the Tokyo College of Commerce as Hitotsubashi University. However, this relatively short history does not mean that the Faculty lacks in tradition, as it has continued the spirit of practical learning established by the College of Commerce since early in the last century. The new University has always held the integration of social sciences as its ideal. The present Faculty of Social Sciences typifies this concept by conducting education and research that goes far beyond the narrow confines of basic social studies. T hree major courses are offered: social theory, area studies, and social problems and policies. These are included in a remarkably broad curriculum that includes the fields of social thought, social history, sociology, psychology, education, political science, social policy, anthropology, and geography, and students are strongly encouraged to study in an interdisciplinary fashion. The character of the Faculty has naturally promoted a rather free style of education and study, and its graduates have chosen a great variety of careers. Among such graduates are scholars, state officials, journalists, and writers, as well as men and women working in many leading corporations around the world. T he goal of integration of the social sciences is not an easy one to accomplish. The nature of integration, how it is achieved, and how it relates to specialization are constant topics of discussion and are an unending source of vitality within the Faculty, which is now considering structural and organizational change. However, such change will be the renewal, not the abandonment, of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and will reflect the ever-increasing need for integration in the field.
