12 WCC CAMPUS VOICE - MAY 1, 1998
NC LIVE comes to WCC
By MEGAN NICHOLS
From folklore to
weatherwise, from
religious studies to
adolescence, NC LIVE is
the "Library link to
the world.”
NC Live stands for
North Carolina
Libraries for
Education. It accesses
thousands of resources
not accessible to
Internet users.
In a presentation
to 2 technical writing
classes on Wednesday,
April 27, Dot Elledge
explained how NC LIVE
assists students with
research.
The Community
College System along
with the University
system, several private
colleges, and public
libraries all over the
state combined efforts
and paid millions to
get this extension of
the Internet, said
Elledge. :
Only 3 stations in
the WCC Library have
access to NC LIVE at
present, and Elledge
said that 3 are already
not enough.
While students can
not have access to NC
LIVE on personal
computers, 186
libraries all over the
state do have access.
According to
Elledge, NC LIVE offers
authoritative,
scholarly information
unlike the Internet
which sometimes
'accesses unaccredited
sources.
Using NC LIVE is not
as risky as using the
Internet, she said,
because the information
has been approved for
publication in a
scholarly journal.
NC LIVE has entire
articles from many
magazines, national and
local newspapers,
professional and
business journals, and
research articles and
publications.
How did WCC get
involved in NC LIVE?
All the community
colleges in the state
now have NC, LIVE,
Elledge said.
NC LIVE is funded by
an appropriation from
the NC General Assembly
and North Carolina's
independent colleges
and universities.
Students browse the Internet or use NC LIVE
resources for research at the 3 stations in the Library.

One month before
elections, each
candidate must submit a
letter of intent to the
SGA office, according
to Beth Jones, Student
Activities Director.
Horton's letter of
intent stresses the
importance of a
dependable voice at
WCC. She promises to be
that voice as
president.
Conner, elected vice
president, is in her
second semester at WCC.
She said she wants to
be an active part of
the school and thinks
that being vice
president will achieve
that goal for her.
Evans, secretary,
brings lots of
experience in
secretarial work, such
as being employed in
the Writing Center,
doing secretarial work
at the Herman Park
Center, and being a
data clerk at the
military school for
Automotive Logistical
Specialists.
NNew Public
Information Officer
Corbitt said he thinks
he works extremely well
with the public.
This year he served
as Local Interactions
chairman.
While in office he
was chairman of the Ms.
WCC Pageant. He went
into the community to
collect donations from
businesses that donated
gifts and prizes for
the event.
Corbitt said, "I
want to keep students
informed of events and
issues and continue to
link students with the
community.”
Stogdale, Local
Interactions officer of
the SGA, believes she
is qualified for the
office because of her
involvement with the
Ambassadors' Program,
her dedication to her
daughter's softball
team, and her interest
in volunteer work.
Jones said the new
officers will receive
training for their jobs
sometime in June.
