About:

   The Nebraska State Library is a public-court law library with a collection of over 130,000 volumes and several subscription-based legal databases. These resources aid the library in the fulfillment of its mission to provide open, reliable access to legal information.

   The Nebraska State Library maintains a comprehensive collection of legal resources, including state and federal cases and statutes, treatises, Nebraska specific materials and forms, legal encyclopedias, and electronic databases. Although the Nebraska State Library does check out some materials to licensed attorneys and state agency employees, it is primarily a reference/research library as opposed to a circulating library.

Mission:

   The Nebraska State Library strives to enhance knowledge of the law and facilitate access to justice by providing patrons with access to current and accurate legal information.

• The purpose of the Nebraska State Library’s social media page is to further the library’s mission by providing information about its collection and services, legal research tips, legal news, and link-worthy material from peer institutions.

Services:

   The Nebraska State Library’s staff provides legal reference and research assistance in person, by telephone, and by email. As librarians, the staff can help patrons locate appropriate print and electronic resources, and advise them on efficient and effective research techniques. Library staff cannot tell patrons what forms to file, assist with preparing legal documents, interpret the law, or offer any legal advice. Please contact the library at nsc.lawlibrary@nebraska.gov OR call 402-471-3189 for all reference assistance.
