This selective bibliography of articles written in English, has attempted to trace developments in libraries and information centers of Eastern European countries of the 1990s. The profound political, economic, and cultural changes that started with dismantling the Berlin wall and culminated in the fall of the Soviet Union and its dominance in Eastern Europe, have affected not only publishing, collections building, and acquisitions of library materials, but also attitudes towards information in general. In the countries that are trying to build democratic political systems and change their economic chaos into market economy, information is now seen as a precious commodity and the need for information gradually permeates public as well as private lives of citizens.
