“NC LIVE SPECIALTY SOURCES: A SAMPLER”
Sponsored by the State Library of North Carolina 

This hands-on session will introduce resources from the permanent NC LIVE collection. Unlike the standard journal database (where a citation or articles is the usual search result), these resources provide fascinating information in a variety of formats such as maps, time lines, analyses, and first person accounts. Database vendors and products include:

Alexander Press-North American Women’s Letters & Diaries
Chadwick-Healy Literature Collections
Greenwood-History and Literature
ProQuest-Sanborn Maps, 1867-1970

Registration is required through the State Library’s website (http://statelibrary.dcr.state.nc.us/ce/ceopps.htm) . There is no fee for registration. Participants will be selected on a first come/first filled basis and the State Library will notify attendees of assigned sessions via email.

Sessions will be repeated throughout conference and will be held at the Forsyth County Public Library, 660 W Fifth Street (4 city blocks from the Conference/Convention Center) on the library’s main service floor. Transportation is not provided.
