Two Russian trial resources are being extended due to a positive reception from students, faculty and staff. The information databases, Integrum Profi and Integrum Social Networks, will be available until February 17, 2015.

 

Integrum  Profi includes electronic versions of full text documents that cover any issue of public importance, providing global monitoring of the Russian information space. Thousands of documents are added every day, from press, radio and TV, commercial and governmental structures’ open documents, and directories. Overall, Integrum stores more than five hundred million documents, their total volume exceeding a terabyte.

 

Integrum Social Networks is the largest collection of Russian and CIS databases covering a wide range of topics. It is a specially designed tool for monitoring the Russian information space of individuals, companies and organizations in the most popular social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, VKontakte, LiveJournal, Yandex, Mail.ru.

 

Both resources offer a mix of content in Russian and English.
