Search Tips
Watch out for variant spellings (or variant transliterations) of names of people, places etc.
Examples: Kiev/Kyiv, Saint Petersburg/Leningrad
Use a * to cut off a word at its stem, e.g. Tolsto* will retrieve Tolstoy, Tolstoi.
In the library catalog, personal names have an official transliteration determined by the Library of Congress. Once you find one article about your person, you can use the author and/or subject links to find all the others.
Putin is Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, 1952-
If you can't use a star to search for spelling variants, use OR
"Saint Petersburg" OR "Leningrad"
