Librarian Faculty Status and Training

Librarians at high schools that participate in the Dual Enrollment Program through UNO may apply for faculty status. Librarians who have been granted faculty status have off-campus access to most of UNO Criss Library's databases.  Instructional sessions on using a particular database (or group of databases) can be arranged by contacting me.  Sessions can be conducted at your school, at our campus, or through our virtual classroom.
