The Wayne Community College Library has a new feature on our main webpage. WCC Single Search is an integrated database search for both WCC library databases and NC LIVE databases. You can enter a search term in the main search box, choose a category and find resources via the EBSCOhost Integrated Search.

The file box on the main page also has a tab to search the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). Journals A-Z is a search for any journal or magazine title that the library owns, as well as all those that are available in the library databases. The last tab has Other Resources including other searchable databases, Internet Resources and Subject Bibliographies.

Give the new Single Search a try! If you have any questions or comments about the new WCC Single Search, please contact WCC Library staff at 919-739-6891 (ext. 6891 on-campus), or at wcc-library@waynecc.edu.

We have a great tutorial with instructions for searching either of the video streaming resources and adding links to a Blackboard Course page so students can watch the films for an assignment.

American History in Video includes more than 2,000 hours of streaming video and more than 5,000 titles in all.  Included in this collection are more than 1,000 hours of newsreel footage from the 1890s to the 1980s.  Also, included are documentaries from companies like the History Channel. The above tutorial also contains information about linking these videos to your Blackboard classroom site.

Theatre in Video contains more than 250 of the world’s most important plays, together with approximately 100 video documentaries. These videos include a number of Shakespeare productions and famous play productions with famous actors like Orson Welles.

Announcing EZ Proxy! http://wayneccfaculty.com/library/2009/07/31/hello-world-announcing-ez-proxy/ http://wayneccfaculty.com/library/2009/07/31/hello-world-announcing-ez-proxy/#comments Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:05:35 +0000 library http://wayneccfaculty.com/library/?p=5 Welcome to the new Wayne Community College Library blog! This blog will have information about special events, classes, databases, services and other exciting things going on the WCC Library. Laptop We are excited to announce a new way for you to access the many research databases we have here at the WCC Library.

Starting Monday August 3rd, 2009 you will be able to access the databases using just your library card barcode. We are now using a service called EZ Proxy and you will no longer have to worry about remembering one or more user names and passwords.

If you do not have a library card barcode, you will want to make sure that you get one. You can get a library card barcode at the Library Circulation desk. If you have any questions about EZ Proxy, ask a library staff member at the Circulation desk, call us at 919.739.6891, or ext. 6891 on-campus, or drop us an e-mail at wcc-library@waynecc.edu.
