LearningExpress Library and the GED
by BiggThomas, Deb (MDE) 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi All--would like to let you all know that we plan to switch over to LearningExpress Library (LEL) 3.0 in MeL by early February 2014. As you may know the GED has been revamped and is new and different as of this month, January 2014. LearningExpress has informed us that the 2014 GED practice tests available in LEL will be released on a rolling basis. The first practice tests will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2014 (Feb/March). We plan to keep the current version of LEL up through the end of June 2014 at which time we will just run the new or 3.0 version of the product. When using version 3.0, users will have to create a new account; accounts from the current LEL will not carry over. Please let us know if you have any questions. Kind regards, 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

Removable Label Suggestions
by Megan Buck 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi, For a number of years we have purchased removable Flag-Its from Robert Howard Co., Inc. These removable flags had a ¼" dot with a 1/8" wide tab. Unfortunately the company seems to have gone out of business as we are no longer able to reach them by phone or by fax and their website domain is now for sale. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a company that might offer similar removable flags. We have already checked with Demco and Brodart, but neither have what we need. Thank you in advance for your suggestions, you can respond off-list to meg(a)dcl-lib.org. Megan Megan Buck Cataloger/Technical Services Dickinson County Library (906) 774-1218 www.dcl-lib.org
