MeL Database Name Adjustment: SIRS
by BiggThomas, Deb (MDE) 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

You and your patrons may notice that the word “deluxe” has been dropped from the MeL database named SIRS Discoverer. Recently it was brought to our attention that while SIRS Discoverer could be marketed as “Deluxe”, it is not a different product. Since the site itself makes no mention of the “Deluxe” label, we will drop that from the name we use on MeL. This is a cosmetic change only. All content remains the same. Thank you, Deb Deb Biggs Thomas Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan --------------------------- 517-373-4466 biggsthomasd(a)michigan.gov http://mel.org http://facebook.com/mel.org
