Miscellaneous information
For miscellaneous information of all
sorts, especially after UNL offices close,
university telephone operators and the
Bennett Martin Library reference desk can
be good sources.
The operators, who are on duty 24
hours a day, have most UNL data at their
fingertips. Bennett Martin is open until 9
lji.. Monday through Friday.
Both Bennett Martin and university
library officials, however, said extensive
research questions should be brought
rather than phoned to the library. The
university library will answer phone queries
on book and periodical locations.
