    Extractions: Web site: http://www.uiowa.edu/~russian The Russian program trains students in both written and spoken Russian and in Russian literature. It also provides them with an understanding and appreciation of Russian culture. A knowledge of Russian is seldom an end in itself; rather it complements another endeavor. Accordingly, the program encourages all of its students to pursue a joint major and to develop their interests in related or complementary fields. Historically at Iowa, many students have combined study of Russian with a double major in economics, history, linguistics, or political science. Recent trends have shown an increase in Russian students pursuing the International Business Certificate. These students enhance their future employment opportunities and lay a better foundation for graduate and professional programs in Russian area studies.

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.

By Dmitriy Luchkin - October 2000 The Russian Cultural Heritage Network is an information network which successfully combines separate sources of cultural information by uniform standards in order to provide information about the cultural heritage of Russia. The RCHN is a non-profit organisation, which represents and promotes Russian cultural heritage to the global community, creates a communication environment for Russian museum and art professionals and develops distance learning and cultural tourism technologies in Russia. Dmitriy Luchkin describes the RCHN and explains why the setting up of such a network was imperitive. There were three large obstacles perceived as major constraints influencing the creation of the network and posterior networking. A possible lack of feed-back from the the constituents of the diverse institutions involved, due to subtleties in the law and vagueness in specifications made the complexities of these constraints difficult to see. The wide range of networking participants (suppliers) targeting a wide range of professionals (users) caused the first constraint. This accumulation of information resulted in poor targeting due to information overload; which in turn failed to obtain synergy. For this reason a system of central and special information management was proposed where two data catalogs are partially overlapped.

    Extractions: The first option centers on Russian Literature and Culture 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 Government-as may the senior tutorial in the case of honors candidates. Note : Students wishing to pursue a plan of study that involves a Slavic language and culture other than Russian may do so with the approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
