If you have a reference question pertaining to Slavic and East European Studies, first check with the Reference Department. For specialized questions, particularly those requiring knowledge of vernacular languages, contact Nadia Zilper, | E-mail | Curator, Slavic and East European Collections, and the André Savine Collection , or her assistant, Angelia Graf. If you are not affiliated with the University of North Carolina university system or have highly specialized and particularly difficult reference questions which neither the Reference Department nor N.
