Ask
a Librarian
Want to send the reference staff a question about the Library's European Collections? |
| | The European Reading Room is the primary public
access point for readers and researchers seeking to use the vast European
collections of the Library of Congress, including those from Russian-speaking
areas of Asia. The reading room is staffed by reference librarians and area
specialists from the European Division, who offer in-depth reference assistance
and work with other Library of Congress units in developing collections that
meet the research needs of a varied constituency. Researchers interested
in Spain and Portugal should contact the Hispanic
Reading Room; those interested in the United Kingdom and Ireland should
consult reference librarians in the Main
Reading Room. Reference assistance for Turkey is available in the African and Middle Eastern Reading Room |
