NC LIVE is a statewide collaborative that provides the people of North Carolina with online access to a large and diverse collection of resources aimed at serving educational, economic, and informational needs of everyday life. With content and indexing from more than 50,000 newspapers, journals, magazines, encyclopedias, e-books, e-audio, and streaming video titles, NC LIVE offers users high quality and reliable information resources. At this brown bag session, we will introduce you to some of the databases, research, statistics, and toolkits that may be of special interest to entrepreneurs and businesses, as well as explore sources that may have broader appeal to participants and their families: language instruction, audiobooks, health information, auto repair, genealogy, reading suggestions, encyclopedias.
