Hi All-well, yes indeed-there are now non-fiction ebooks available in SIRS Discoverer in MeL: http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-proq.php?database=SIRS… When you've connected, just look in the "Database Features" box and you'll see the link. Categories covered include: Animals, Arts & Humanities, Biographies, Curriculum Activities, Environment, Health & Human Body, History & Government, Science, Sports, and Technology. All ebooks are Lexile scored. But wait! There's more! SIRS Discoverer also has Pro/Con Leading Issues covering a wide variety of topics and Animal Facts (including photos). These are also accessed in the "Database Features" box. Let me know if there's interest in setting up a webinar with our ProQuest trainer to go over these new features and this amazingly useful resource in general!

DVD Cases/Displays
by Mary Cornell 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hello all, We are looking to change how we handle our DVD cases and displaying them. We currently have all our DVDs in their cases behind the circulation desk and sleeves with a DVD case sleeve out in a display. We are looking to put out the cases minus the DVD and have the DVD's behind the desk in some sort of individual sleeves. Does anyone handle their DVD's similarly? Could you offer some recommendations of cases/sleeves that you use? Or how you handle the display in general? Thanks, Mary Cornell Mary Cornell Technical Services Supervisor Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library 500 Market Street St. Joseph, MI 49085 (269) 983-7167 www.stjoseph.lib.mi.us<http://www.stjoseph.lib.mi.us>
