Access Russia provides rapid search, photocopying and delivery of publications from the libraries and information centers of Russia, the republics of the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe. Access Russia also provides rapid translations of documents into English. The service gives weekly bibliographic updates on books and journal articles recently published in Russia. In addition to regular document delivery requests, Access Russia can provide original or photocopied documents from its bibliographic updates. Libraries can access the Access Russia document delivery service using the OCLC symbol, A4R. "We provide the search, retrieval and processing of a wide variety of information," said Nathan Birman, president of Access Russia. "Our experience working within the various information centers and libraries of the former Soviet Union gives us a solid foundation and understanding of how to acquire vast amounts of stored information in this part of the world." "As OCLC membership and participation continues to grow internationally, it becomes more important than ever to make documents available from a variety of suppliers worldwide," said Glenn Patton, manager, OCLC Resource Sharing and Micro-Products Section. "The addition of Access Russia as a document supplier brings another valuable resource to OCLC member libraries." Access Russia was established in July 1992 as a division of Access Innovations Inc., an Albuquerque, New Mexico, database construction and conversion company providing abstracting, indexing, data entry, data conversion services and consulting. Access Innovations also owns the National Information Center for Educational Media, a database and directory publisher. Access Russia, based in Albany, California, became a separate corporation in July 1994. The OCLC ILL Document Supplier Program increases access to special collections through commercial vendors and public and private libraries to meet the needs of OCLC users. OCLC Online Computer Library Center is a nonprofit computer library service and research organization whose computer network and services link more than 23,000 libraries in 63 countries and territories.
