Criss Library Legal Holdings
While the library has only a modest legal collection, we do subscribe to two commercial databases, which taken together are roughly equivalent to the reference and journal holdings of a law library: Nexis Uni and Westlaw Campus Research (linked below). These databases encompass codes and statutes for the U.S. government and all fifty states; published decisions of the U.S. courts and the courts of all fifty states; and articles published in over 700 law review journals. Anyone may visit the library to search the databases, but off-campus access is restricted by license to currently-enrolled UNO students.
