Please try MyLibrary@NCState, a user-centered,
customizable interface to the NCSU Libraries collection
of information resources. It is available at the URL
below, and unless you are a member of the NC State
University system, you will have to use it's guest
account to access the system:
http://my.lib.ncsu.edu/
MyLibrary@NCState integrates principles of
librarianship (collection, organziation, dissemination,
and evaluation) with globally networked computing
resources creating a dynamic, customer-driven front-end
to our library's set of materials. It supports a
framework for us to provide enhanced access to local and
remote sets of data, information, and knowledge. At the
same time, the system does not overwhelm our users with
too much information because the users control exactly
how much information is displayed to them at any given
time. The system is active and not passive; direct
human interaction, computer mediated guidance and
communication technologies, as well as current
awareness services all play indispensable roles in its
implementation.
