About a week ago, I emailed Alexander Sulakvelidze, who is a leader in bacteriophage therapy technology, and he recently wrote me back. He is interested in seeing what I can turn up at the Moscow libraries. He has already sorted through many of the scientific journals that interested him here in Moscow, but thinks that there are still a few other papers for me to find.
My plan is to visit these two libraries before the current term is out (I have a second term to get into the library searches more aggressively):
Библиотек Имени Ленина (Lenin Library), which is the mammoth public library of the Russian federal government. My host family assures me that I will be able to find many papers there that will help me.
The other place I want to visit is the Центральная Научная Медицинская Библиотека (Central Scientific Medical Library), which is the main medical library in Russia. It belongs to the I.M. Sechenov Medical Academy.
I don't know if I, as a foreign student, can visit either of these places. I will probably be able to visit the Lenin Library, but I am not at all sure they'll let me into the medical library. I'll try both places; they are easy to reach by metro.
I should also clarify that I have to postpone my first translated paper until the end of November. I decided to abandon the translation of my first paper after getting a little further, because there was less and less content about bacteriophage typing as I went on with the translation. The second paper, which I am currently working on, should be done by the end of November. I'll also post the partial translation I've already made of the first paper (so you guys know I'm actually working and not just sight-seeing).
