Staff assist users in the collection during regular hours, answer mail queries, and respond to e-mail requests sent to nccollection@ecu.edu.

Staff welcome the opportunity to introduce East Carolina University students to the North Carolina Collection and its resources. They will make every effort to tailor sessions to the specific needs of each class. Instructors should contact Public Services Librarian, Matt Reynolds at 328-5675 or reynoldsm@ecu.edu to schedule an instructional session.

Since 1992, staff of the North Carolina Collection have indexed over forty periodicals published in North Carolina. The index provides access to abstracts of articles in such fields as the arts, business, the environment, politics and government, social issues, and science. Located on J.Y. Joyner Library's homepage, the North Carolina Periodicals Index is searchable by key word. Articles identified through the index are available in the North Carolina Collection stacks or via interlibrary loan.
