Expanded and renovated in 1996, the Library provides seating for 186 persons in a spacious, comfortable, well-lighted area easily accessible from all campus buildings. The mezzanine, located away from the hub of activity, is designated for quiet study and also serves as the site for GED testing. Three conference rooms are available for group study and meetings. The collection of 42,000 books is accessed via a computerized catalog. WebCat is the public access point to the catalog, and, in addition to the College s book collection, allows viewing of the library holdings of North Carolina community colleges.
Online resources are available in the Library and remotely.
NC-LIVE, the Gale Group, SIRS, and two Johns Hopkins programs offer a broad range of information that is not public domain. NC-LIVE, an acronym for North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education, is a partnership of North Carolina s libraries that provides access to a vast world of informational and educational resources. It is subscription-based, thus assuring authenticity. Although NC-LIVE is accessed through the internet, the resources are not available through general use of the internet.
