Hi Everyone!
My name
is Liz Breed and I am the new Michigan eLibrary Coordinator for the Library of
Michigan. While I am a Wayne State alum and have 15 years of experience in
public libraries, my background also includes a bachelor’s degree in business administration
and 8 years of experience in marketing research. Prior to joining LM, I was the
Assistant Director for Public Services at Jackson District Library. I have also
worked at Kent District Library and Capital Area District Library serving in a
variety of roles. Occasionally, I teach Marketing for the School of Information
Science at Wayne State University.
As a member of the
MeL Team I will be working closely with Sonya Schryer Norris, Kathy Kosinski,
Randy Riley and staff from MCLS to support an upcoming redesign of the MeL site
and development of MeL Support and Training resources. Additionally, I’ll be assisting
with database contract negotiations this year. My role also entails cultivating
increased cohesion across all things MeL – MeLCat, MeL databases and MeL
Training – with the goal being to increase awareness and support stronger
connections. You will see me at conferences and workshops and also supporting
LM through various social media channels.
I’m excited to be
part of the MeL and LM teams, and as a life-long resident of Michigan, I look
forward to visiting with library staff all over the state. If you have
questions or want to talk about any facet of MeL, please don’t hesitate to get
in touch. You can email me at breedl@michigan.gov
or give me a ring at 517-373-4466.
Brought to you by Liz Breed of the MeL Team.
MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or
Michigan library access only.
