Does Criss Library have city and county documents?
Yes, but city and county documents are cataloged and shelved with the general book collection. Neither the Nebraska statutes nor city or county ordinances require that local governments send documents to libraries. As a consequence, we manage to collect local documents in a rather hit or miss fashion. Researchers may search the library catalog using city or county names as authors; for example, enter Omaha (Neb.) or Douglas County as author searches. The Douglas County Historical Society and the W. Dale Clark Library (downtown branch of the Omaha Public Library) both hold significant collections of local government documents.
