White Boards in the Study Rooms!
The Class Gift from the Class of 2018 was white boards for the study rooms. Unfortunately, the white boards were back ordered and so we haven't been able to hang them yet, but we will as soon as the new ones arrive - soon! In preparation for the white boards, all the rooms were painted.
New Carpeting on the Stairs
Some time in the next few weeks the carpeting on the stairs will be replaced. The contractors tell us that it should only take two or three days, so the main staircase and stairs to the basement will be unavailable for a short time. Fortunately, there are two staircases at the front of the library, to at the back, and an elevator to get you where you need to go. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Reference Service
You will notice slight changes to reference service this year. Our excellent reference assistance will be available from 9 to noon and 1 to 4 each week day. If you need reference assistance during those times, please consult with the on-duty librarian in their office. On-duty librarian information will be available at the circulation desk. Additionally, you can receive reference assistance any time by emailing: lawref@unl.edu
