Nebraska Library Directory Help

It includes entries for directors and staff of all public, academic, school, special and institutional libraries in Nebraska. Also included are Educational Service Units, Library System staff, library trustees and friends, and Library Commission Board members. The directory is edited as updates are received--usually daily.

Case is never significant in searches (upper and lower case can be used interchangeably).

Searches are essentially free-form keyword searches of the entire content of each directory entry. Any entry containing the word, phrase, or character string you enter will be retrieved. This can result in false hits. Entering Smith may find entries containing Smith Street as well as librarians named Smith, for example.

It is almost always best to search by last name only.

However, a special, last-name, first name search feature is available. To search a personal name using this method, enter the last name, followed by a comma, then the first name. A space after the comma is optional. This search will only find exact matches. First names commonly contain abbreviations, titles (e.g. MR.), nicknames, or other variations that make them difficult to locate, so be sure to try a last-name only search if a combined search fails.

If you find errors or omissions in the directory, please report them to the Library Commission: Submit corrections, updates, or comments here
