This is a selective bibliography of primary and secondary materials used in the practice of law in Nebraska. For the most part, materials focusing exclusively on Nebraska law published between 1991 and June 30, 1999 are included. It updates the 1991 bibliography "Legal Research Tools for the Nebraska Practitioner: An Annotated Bibliography" by Sally Wise and Patricia Cervenka.1 The most obvious difference between this bibliography and the earlier one is the prevalence of electronic resources such as sites on the World Wide Web. Electronic resources have been incorporated with print sources, rather than treated separately. The bibliography is arranged in the following sections: reference works; periodicals; newspapers; primary sources (legislative, judicial, administrative, and municipal); secondary sources arranged by
