2019 OPEN RESEARCH LABORATORY
ON RUSSIA, EASTERN EUROPE, AND EURASIA

OVERVIEW

Researchers are invited to apply for Open Research Laboratory fellowships for policy-relevant research on Russian, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. ORL Fellows have access to the extensive holdings in the Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Collection at the International and Area Studies Library and may receive one-on-one research assistance from the librarians of the Slavic Reference Service (SRS); this ensures that researchers not only find everything Illinois has to offer, but locate the most important sources available elsewhere, as well.

ORL applicants are also encouraged to consider studying an area language at Indiana University’s Summer Language Workshop, located in nearby Bloomington, IN, after their participation in the ORL. Funding in the form of Title VIII fellowships and other sources is available to eligible applicants. Those interested in overseas language study are particularly encouraged to pair ORL participation with an application for an IU Title VIII Portable Fellowship. More information and the application can be found at the Summer Language Workshop website.

FACTS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT ORL

When can I attend?
The Open Research Lab (ORL) is designed to be flexible. You may attend at any time between January 22 and May 10, 2019. *Please note that the University will not be in session on March 16-24, 2019, for spring break.

Is it difficult to acquire funding for ORL; how constrictive is the funding process?
Funding for ORL is competitive. Eligible applicants with strong proposals are more likely to receive funding for their research. ORL awards are made by a committee of REEE scholars from the University of Illinois and external scholars with policy-relevant experience.

What kind of funding is available?
All ORL grant applicants must be U.S. citizens. Awards include travel support up to $500, housing grants for up to 5 days, and a stipend of $500.
Can I access any of the resources after I leave the lab?
Yes! The Slavic Reference Service librarians are very adept at loaning circulating items through Inter-Library Loan (ILL).
Why should I visit, if SRS is willing to loan so much material via ILL?
ORL is a great opportunity to develop good relationships with the librarians at the Slavic Reference Service. They are ready to use their specialized knowledge to help you do research on your dissertation or research project. SRS librarians will work with ORL Fellows long after they leave ORL. Additionally, an in-person visit gives scholars the opportunity to access specialized materials that carry constraints due to particular governmental and copyright restrictions. Scholars who utilize ORL also have access to the main stacks at the University Library.
Am I allowed to make digital copies of materials that I would like to take with me after I leave?
Absolutely! You can create your own digital library of the resources acquired during ORL.
Is ORL only for preliminary research, or does ORL have more in-depth resources that would cater to more specialized research?
ORL can assist both preliminary and advanced stages of research. ORL also facilitates access to hard-to-find materials that are not located anywhere else in the US. This can be especially helpful to scholars who have done their preliminary work using more available resources.
What are the library hours for the Slavic Reference Service?
Slavic Reference Service hours correspond to the Main Library hours of operations.
