NCLIVE, a consortium including nearly all academic, public and school libraries in North Carolina, has announced its resource selection decisions for 2015-2017. Beginning on January 1, 2015, many of the resources to which Meredith subscribes via NCLIVE will be changing, including some of our most-used resources.
The library is currently evaluating how to respond to these resource changes; faculty feedback will be crucial to this process.
Beginning in January, these new resources will be available to Meredith as a result of the NCLIVE changes:
