The Nebraska Library Commission maintains a library of reference materials and provides research services to Nebraska library and state agency personnel. The collection includes books, periodicals and videos as well as electronic resources. The collection also includes state and federal government material, available to all Nebraska citizens.
Many materials are available through interlibrary loan, as are a variety of other resources.
Nebraska State Employees may call upon our research staff to provide them with information they need to complete their work. We encourage all levels of questions that may range from how to spell a word to those that require the delivery of documents like the Telecommunications Act of 1996. We welcome calls from librarians to assist them with questions regarding librarianship, or that may be answered using federal or Nebraska state agency sources. Our collections and Library Commission staff consultants are rich resources that can help librarians improve their libraries and services. Nebraska Library Commission reference librarians provide backup reference service for Nebraska libraries at no cost.
