What's New at Moye Library?

Hours:

Welcome back everyone!  It is now Fall and classes are back in full swing.  Please remember to come and visit the library.  We are here as a resource for your research needs as well as a quiet place to just study or relax.

It was very exciting to see all the new freshmen coming in and learning about the library and what it has to offer.  We hope that they will all continue to visit over their next few years at Mount Olive College.

You can find our hours of operation by clicking here or on the Hours link from the Library's homepage.

New Books:

Our list of new books is updated monthly.  Please click on the link to see what new titles we have on the shelves this month.  For your convenience, the call number is also included so you'll know exactly where to go to find it.

New Audiobooks!

Beginning Thursday, April 15, 2010, North Carolina libraries started offering library patrons 750 downloadable audio books made available through NC LIVE, North Carolina’s statewide online library, with a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the State Library of North Carolina.

The new audio books are compatible with most iPods and MP3 devices, with subjects focusing primarily on language learning, classic literature, history, and biography. The audio books are available to library patrons within their local public or academic library, and at home via an Internet connection. Patrons at North Carolina libraries have free, online access to the new collection of audio books through NC LIVE’s website, www.nclive.org, or through their local library’s website.

Journal Finder

Moye Library has acquired Journal Finder.  Journal Finder is an integrated search interface that allows you to search for journals and determine if the libary provides electronic access or owns a print copy, to find out which other libraries may have print copies, and to order copies of articles that can be sent directly to you.  Despite its name, Journal Finder includes not just journals, but also newspapers, magazines, newsletters and other items that come out more than once per year.  Check it out and if you have any questions, please contact Heather Braswell.
