Since the development of the Nebraska College Preparatory Academy, scholars of NCPA have received research support from UNL librarians. While librarians begin working with scholars during their senior year of high school, those relationships often last throughout the course of the college experience. They serve not only as supporters of your academic success, but they are always happy to help you navigate college by providing a friendly face on campus.
