Directories Guides Interlibrary Loans Library Cooperation Library Networks Policy Public Libraries Records (Forms) Regional Libraries Telecommunications The State of Nebraska is geographically divided into six networks by the Nebraska State Department of Administrative Services. Each network is composed of more than one geographic region. Within each region, one centrally located library acts as the Regional Library (RL) for the many public cooperating libraries of that region. Through State funded telephone privileges, the RL provides a backup reference service and library collection to its area libraries. Each RL is supplied with a State financed teletypewriter (TWX) with which it transmits any requests it is unable to fill to its network office of the Nebraska Library Commission (NLC). The NLC in turn has access to out-of-state materials through the Bibliographic Center for Research in Denver. By using the specified forms and TWX instructions, any Nebraska librarian has telephone or TWX access to the resources of the entire system. Besides interlibrary loan search and service, the NLC provides access to the library of University of Nebraska Medical Center, the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, and the 16mm film service of the Lincoln City Library. A directory of the network libraries is provided. (SL)
