The NC LIVE HomeGrown Collection is now set up as an Institutional Repository in Summon. This means that you can subscribe to the NC LIVE HomeGrown Collection using a separate database code, DBID:(BXBCN), in the Ex Libris Client Center. We made this change so the collection would be easier to manage in the Summon Client Center.  The discoverability of the titles will remain the same from the user's perspective. 

The 2022-2023 NC LIVE password is now available. The current NC LIVE password (2021-2022) will expire on October 1, 2022. Both passwords will work until October 1, at which point the 2021-2022 passwords will expire.

Please distribute the new NC LIVE password to your staff and patrons as appropriate. Please contact the NC LIVE Help Desk for your new password.

NC LIVE resource URLs have switched to a new format. These new resource URLs have a user-friendly format which we hope will be easier for users to remember, and libraries to promote and share. We encourage libraries to swap their old NC LIVE URLs to this new format. However, the old resource URLs will continue to work. As part of this process, the NC LIVE splash page has been updated with a new design and new language as well.  Here's an example of the old link vs. the new link:
