Join us for a session about the Government Information Services program at the Library Commission and how it can help you help your customers. We will talk about our participation in the federal documents depository program and how we make Nebraska state government information available to the public. We will highlight some great docs and web sites that media specialists, teachers, and librarians can use with students and library customers. NCompass Live - May 13, 2009.
