If your
thoughts have turned from the beach to back to school, you may be interested in
some of the research resources available from Rowan Public Library. Visit the
library’s home page at www.rowanpubliclibrary.org, and click on NC LIVE. You will
need your library card number and pin number to connect.
Once
connected, you’ll find a huge collection of resources including online magazines,
newspapers, ebooks and more. For reports or information related to North
Carolina, look for the ‘Everything NC!’ link.
Links to the home pages of government agencies, statistical reports,
health information, tax forms, and more have been gathered into one place, so
it’s a great place to begin your research.
Younger
students will want to check out NCPedia, an online encyclopedia all about North
Carolina. NCPedia highlights North Carolina’s unique resources, culture, and
people to enrich, educate, and inform. It is coordinated and managed by the
Government and Heritage Library at the State Library of North Carolina.
Clicking
on the ‘biography and people’ link lets you search NC biographies by county or
profession, or browse an A-Z list. Under the ‘government and politics’ tab,
you’ll find a link to NC state symbols, a popular assignment topic.
Adult
students looking for background information on various topics may be interested
in links to the State Center for Health Statistics, State Data Center, and
State Demographics, again all available from the ‘Everything NC!’ start page.
The
North Carolina State Government Publications Collection connects you to
reports, research guides, and an interactive timeline of NC history. You can also search publications by specific
state agency.
