What is NC LIVE?
North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education (NC LIVE) offers citizens of North Carolina online access to complete articles from over 10,000 newspapers, journals, magazines, and encyclopedias, indexing for over 20,000 periodical titles, and access to over 24,000 electronic books. NC LIVE is available free of charge to library patrons, students, and educators from four communities of interest (COIs) -- public libraries, community colleges, the state's university system, and members of the North Carolina Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. NC LIVE can be accessed from within an affiliated library or from home.

NC LIVE has a full-time technical staff that is responsible for the ongoing operation, enhancement, and support for NC LIVE. The staff ensures that NC LIVE servers remain up and running, facilitates vendor and database connectivity, and provides technical support for librarians and library staff at the 200 plus affiliated libraries across North Carolina. The general public can receive help using NC LIVE from the staff at their public library, or the library at their college or university. NC LIVE uses cookies, small pieces of information from the web server stored on an individual computer, and collects a limited amount of system data to facilitate access to NC LIVE databases.

NC LIVE's steering and advisory committees, which have equal representation from all communities of interest, determine general governance, the selection and purchase of NC LIVE resources, web site organization and design, publicity efforts, training topics and initiatives, and technical infrastructure.
