What does "peer-reviewed" mean?
The peer-review process is a formal way to ensure the quality of research papers. Peer-reviewed literature is also sometimes referred to as "scholarly" "refereed" or, less accurately as, "edited". There are ways to tell the difference between scholarly versus popular articles.
When beginning to use and access the wealth of materials, print & electronic, the University of Nebraska- Lincoln University Libraries provide, there are a couple of actions that are recommended for UNL Faculty, Staff & Students.
First, log into the library catalog with your UNL credentials. Using this you will be able to renew items, keep an inventory of what you have checked out, and see if you have overdue items, fines or fees. Your account access is also what you will use to access license restricted University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries electronic resources (Databases, E-Books, Journal articles) when off campus. Following is a link to a tutorial to take you through the steps of using the library catalog: https://unl.libwizard.com/f/quicksearchsaving
Also, you are encouraged to set up your Delivery account. This service delivers materials to you electronically, or print items to your chosen library location, & will save you time, while expanding the resources available to you. With the University Libraries closed stacks at the Library Depository Retrieval Facility (LDRF), those print materials must be requested and picked up at a library location.
