Changes to the NC LIVE home page
On Monday morning, February 6th, NC LIVE will roll out a new version of
the NC LIVE home page.
Based on usability testing students and patrons, and surveys conducted
with library staff from around the state, we are developing a host of
changes for the NC LIVE web site over the next several months.
The first of these is a move to make the home page more functional by
bringing popular features front and center.
* "Browse by Subject" and "Browse by Type" will appear in the left side
bar. Some of the current features, including the "Featured Resource"
will disappear.
* Below the EZ Search box will be the addition of "Need a specific
resource? Use our Alphabetic list." and "Need a specific title? Use our
journal and magazine search feature."
If you have any questions or comments feel free to let the Help Desk know.
Black History Month Resources through Encyclopedia Britannica
NC LIVE users have access to Encyclopedia Britannica's Guide to Black
History website.
This website was recently updated and presents a vast array of articles,
hundreds of images, and a wide assortment of audio clips, film clips,
and multimedia presentations. The timeline traces two millennia of black
history, and the browse features enable you to pinpoint the central
people, places, topics, and events covered in black history. Our image
and multimedia galleries provide snapshots of black culture throughout
the ages.
You can access the website by opening Britannica Online and scrolling to
the bottom of the homepage where there is a link to Britannica
Spotlights archive. The Guide to Black History is the third selection.
