Services for Alumni
Alumni are welcome to onsite access of the library and its physical and online collections. After 7 pm and on weekends you will need to ring the buzzer at the main entrance to be admitted. Call (402) 280-5109 if you have questions.
Borrowing Privileges
- Alumni may check out print items, DVD's, CD-ROM's, cluster rooms, and VHS cassettes for free with an alumni library card. Apply for an alumni library card here.

Copy services
- The circulation staff will send alumni a copy of items we own for twenty cents a page. The ILL staff will request interlibrary loan for articles we do not own, on a cost recovery basis. It is usually cheaper to use a local public library or hospital library for interlibrary loan. Request a copy here.
Reference services
- The reference staff provide alumni with literature searches of databases we subscribe to for $10. More extensive searches may incur additional fees. Simple ready reference questions (Is a certain physician board certified? What is the correct spelling of a drug?) may incur no charge. Ask a reference question here.
