Documents can be located in both the paper and microfiche collections by using the call numbers from these indexes. The Nebraska documents collection is an excellent source of information about a variety of topics of concern to state government agencies. Several publish information about economic development, rural economic development, the workforce, employment and unemployment, and business in the state. Other agencies are interested in groundwater, conservation, geology, agriculture, minerals, the environment, and land use. Studies done by the legislature and a variety of commissions and committees are in the collection.
Directories provide names, addresses, and phone numbers of state officials and government employees.
Nebraska documents may be checked out of the library. Certain reference titles, indicated by an asterisk in front of the call number, must be used in the library. Titles on microfiche may also be checked out, along with portable microfiche readers, which are located by the microfiche cabinets.
