9) Available Dictionaries 



It can be said that the scientist will require at least two dictionaries for the 

 translation of Russian texts. One dictionary will be general in nature, that is, the 

 usual Russian-English type; the other will contain terms specific to technology or 

 to a particular scientific field. Since dictionaries of the latter type are usually ex- 

 pensive, the student is advised to check the resources of the nearest library for works 

 in this area. 



Dictionaries are listed below in two categories: General, and Scientific. The 

 number of entries in General category could easily be increased, but the ones cited 

 are those in common use in this country. The listing of dictionaries in the Scientific 

 category is(to the writer's knowledge) complete, though new glossaries are undoubt- 

 edly now in preparation. Data concerning publication, number of pages, etc. , are 

 given, where known; the prices listed have been taken from various book lists, but 

 they may well have been changed by now.
