Author: The new website is the College Database. I’d recommend making the College Database available to your patrons via your library’s website:
- The College Database (Homepage): http://www.onlinecollegesdatabase.org
- The College Database (Nebraska): http://www.onlinecollegesdatabase.org/online-colleges-in-nebraska/
If you have any questions about the website, data partnerships, or features, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Thank you,
