 The
new semester of MCLS MeL Databases classes is now open for enrollment. These
classes are held monthly August through November and all are half-hour
webinars.
Michigan
libraries across the state work very hard every day to make meaningful,
positive impacts in their communities.
MeL databases are there to assist you
with the best information available for your patron’s business, educational,
health, financial, consumer needs, and more. The Library of Michigan and MCLS
work together to bring relevant, timely, and accessible MeL databases training
to all Michigan library staff and teachers. The focus is to meet the needs in
real time, and through MeL provide libraries with the tools and acumen to
better serve and educate their communities; thereby strengthening our libraries
and state.
The
webinars are topical and range from school resources, to history, business, and
more. They are taught by subject specialist Michigan library staff.
The
semester kicks-off August 29 at 3:30pm with Back to School with MeL. That
class is followed up on September 26 with MeL Small Business Resources.
All classes in this series are free and open to all Michigan library staff,
educators, and other interested users.
These
webinars are recorded and made available on-demand anytime on the MCLS website.
Additionally, provided are slides from the webinars and hyperlinked documents
which connect you directly with the featured resources/databases.
