LINCOLN -- State leaders have launched the new Nebraska Virtual Library, an online learning library that offers more than 20,000 digital resources for Nebraska's teachers and students to use as a free resource. This new site is part of a larger statewide educational initiative announced last August by Governor Heineman. He says the state and university have been busy trying to focus on doing more in a virtual environment. Nebraska Educational Telecommunications general manager Rod Bates says it's taken them over ten years to get to this point. The Nebraska Virtual Library contains multi-media resources including audio, video and interactive components continually updated from the Library of Congress, National Archives, PBS NewsHour, NOVA, American Experience, Electric Company, and SciGirls.
