Link of the Week:
May 25 - June 1
NC
Live
NC LIVE (North Carolina Libraries
for Virtual Education) is an “electronic library” created to give
NC library subscribers access to magazine articles, national and local newspapers,
business and professional journals, reference sources, and research material.
Most of NC LIVE's resources are not accessible to the general Internet user,
because its contents are all reviewed and selected by a committee of librarians.
This is a free service. However, you do have to be a registered user at a North
Carolina library, and you do have to call your library
to get a password that is required to access the site.

Media Forum Links
The handouts
that were distributed by journalists at our media forum are online. Journalist
contact information is posted also, if you want to follow up with any of
the people you met at the forum (or if you live in the Asheville area and want
to see what you missed!).
