All NC LIVE member libraries now have access to four new ProQuest resources, and they may be used by library staff and patrons. These new resources were acquired as part of NC LIVE's 2018-2020 Resource Cycle. You will maintain access to all current PQ resources and these four new resources through at least December 2023.

Library staff are encouraged to become familiar with the resource's interfaces, promote them to faculty and patrons, and integrate the resources within your libraries' websites.
