  • The library is a place for study, research, and teaching. All guests are expected to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to those endeavors.
  • Materials are for in-building use.
  • Guests may use the  network to connect to WiFi. 
  • The majority of our online resources are only available for use to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ faculty, staff, and students due to how these resources are licensed.
    • Any guest who is a resident of North Carolina can access NC Live's online databases and resources through the . 
    • Many databases and repositories have open access content, including:
