Libraries Vision
The UNL Libraries faculty and staff play an active role in facilitating the connection between students/faculty/users and the scholarly record. UNL Libraries provides services and tools to enable discovery of information. The Libraries are engaged with their users in creating a community that values active learning and research processes. Further, the Libraries are stewards of scholarly content and create, organize, and publish scholarly work of the University.
