NC LIVE is North Carolina’s statewide online library service. Designed for at-home use, NC LIVE eBooks, magazines, newspapers, journals, media, and other online materials are available from any Internet connection. When you are not on campus, you will need to log in to the SPCC proxy server using your SPCC email address and password to use NC LIVE and other online library resources.
NC LIVE and other online library resources can be accessed from the SPCC Libraries website and are listed on the Databases page: http://spcc.libguides.com/databases
When you are off campus and click on the hyperlinked database name, you will be taken to a login page, where you will enter your SPCC email address and password.
Are there other online resources that are not part of NC LIVE?
Yes. The SPCC Libraries have purchased additional online resources that are not part of NC LIVE. Most of these can also be accessed off campus by logging into the proxy server using your SPCC email address and password. The one or two resources that are not accessible off campus have ON-CAMPUS ACCESS ONLY in their descriptions on the SPCC Libraries Databases list: http://spcc.libguides.com/databases
If you have trouble logging in with your email address and password, there are links on the right side of the login page where you can get help. The "forgot your password" option should let you reset your password. You may also want to go directly to Go and try to change your password there, if it has possibly expired: https://go.spcc.edu/
If you are still not able to log in, or if you have any questions about the process, please use the "contact a librarian" link under "Other Questions" on the login page. This will direct you to the contact information for reaching the SPCC Libraries during our normal operating hours (which are listed on the contact page), and for the extended-hours virtual chat service, which may be used outside our normal operating hours.
Please note that Spectrum has a Security Shield that must be turned off before trying to access the databases from off-campus. Those with the Spectrum app on their phone may disable the Security Shield and then enable it again after conducting research. Spectrum's IT support can assist with turning off the Security Shield for those without the app.
