NEW! NC LIVE eBooks Portal

NC LIVE is pleased to announce a new eBooks Portal webpage available now from the NC LIVE

website.eBooks Portal
This new eBooks Portal makes it easier for users to browse and search all of NC LIVE's eBook content. There is also some new FAQ information that explains how to download eBooks from the collections that contain downloadable content.

About the eBooks Portal:
With over 20,000 eBooks spread across six different vendor collections, it can sometimes be difficult for users to explore all of the eBooks NC LIVE has to offer.

  • eBooks on EBSCOhost (24,600 titles): includes titles in Literature, Technology, Career & Self Help, how-to books, and more.
  • ABC-CLIO (200 titles): includes titles in History, Literature, and more.

  • Learning Express Library (194 titles): eBooks on career development topics, test prep, and personal development.
  • Open Library: NC LIVE has partnered with the Open Library to offer access to over 200,000 books published between 1924 and 1999. These eBooks cover many subjects and include fiction, young adult, and children's titles.
