NC LIVE’s Mission: Supporting Education Enhancing Economic Development Statewide Increasing the Quality of Life in North Carolina Supporting small business and entrepreneurs is a key part of what we are meant to do!

NC LIVE – Statewide Online Library Service A consortium of 198 libraries across North Carolina. COI Public Libraries COI Community College System COI University of North Carolina System COI NC Independent Colleges & Universities + We’re especially well-positioned for success because everyone across North Carolina has access to the SAME core set of eResources through their local library. Success

Resources that Drive Business All libraries have access to tools business can use via NC LIVE. MARKETING & FUNDRAISING NEWS & INDUSTRY TRENDS SimplyMap – Use exclusive market research data, consumer expenditure, and census information to develop maps & reports.

NC LIVE Promoting Business Resources The NC LIVE Business Portal We re-imagined the traditional list of databases libraries typically list on their websites to create a more task-based portal approach http://business.nclive.org

Getting the Word Out! NC Entrepreneurship Summit Local Events & Conferences NC Tech 4 Good NC LIVE proposed and was selected to give a presentation – we partnered with librarians from Elon University and UNC-Greensboro. NC LIVE sponsored a booth. NC Entrepreneurship Summit NC LIVE sponsored a booth We partnered with BLINC & Campbell University Other Examples Land Trust Assembly County Department Heads Meetings NC Association of County Commissioners

Partnering with BLINC askBLINC – a “train-the-trainer” approach to business resources A patron comes in to their library with a business question Example: I need to write a business plan and do market research. Can you help me? The Librarian assists the patron, but isn’t sure they fully answered the patron’s questions. The Librarian sends an email to askblinc@nclive.org to get help from business librarian experts. The askBLINC team responds to the librarian with helpful advice.
