What can we do for Nebraska State Employees?
The Nebraska Library Commission maintains a collection of general reference
materials and provides research services to all Nebraska State Employees. Our
collection includes books, periodicals and videos as well as electronic
resources. The collection also includes Nebraska state and federal government
documents. Most items are available for loan. Reference staff are available to
take questions via phone at 800-307-2665 (Nebraska only) or 402-471-2045 Monday-Friday 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Central Standard Time.
Staff may also be reached by fax: 402-471-6244 or by e-mail, during the
hours we're open
for help with questions or other assistance.
Information Services include:
- Research Services:
Nebraska State Employees may call upon our
research staff to provide information needed for work related projects.

- State Government Publications Online
The Nebraska Publications Clearinghouse Service of the Nebraska Library
Commission has been helping Nebraskans find government information by collecting
Nebraska state agency publications, listing them in our online catalog, and
lending them to the public since 1972. Key publications are also filmed and
distributed in microfiche format to 14 depository libraries in Nebraska.
