The library offers a variety of resources and services to UNO distance education students. UNO students eligible for these services are those who are currently enrolled in university-designated distance education courses. The information that follows is intended to provide a brief overview of library services and resources at your disposal as a student at a distance.

Library Accounts and Resource Access

A library account is automatically created for students based upon their enrollment status. A valid MavCard ID is required for checking out materials.
