About the Library

Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Library serves as the primary source of academic information for the University community through its collections, academic and reference services, innovative and modern technology, exhibit and event programming and modern physical facilities.

The Criss Library's mission is to create physical and virtual environments which foster the University's goals for teaching, learning, and research. The Criss Library is a place which is equally conducive to gathering around a cutting-edge, multi-functional workstation or relaxing in a comfortable chair with a book and a cup of coffee. Whether people come to us through the website or through the door, users experience intuitive, seamlessly integrated access to relevant resources in many formats. All services are aligned to provide an environment of discovery, productivity, and intellectual exchange. Events and partnerships both on and off campus engage the library with UNO and its communities.
