Many NIC materials are available online. However, non-digital, copyright-restricted, and sensitive material is available only in the NIC main library. Correctional workers can request FREE personalized corrections information assistance from the staff at our library. These experts have access to the complete library and can help you find information that is not available online.

Video Learning Opportunities

NIC offers a wide variety of video learning opportunities. Over the years we have recorded our live Internet broadcasts so that they can be used by correctional trainers and agencies. You can request DVD copies of these programs from our library or view selected programs online.

Live Broadcast Training

We deliver training programs live through Internet streaming. You can register to view these programs live or order the program after the live broadcast. Look in the "Live Broadcasts" section of the sidebar to find upcoming programs.
