Back to the future with Rare Book Cataloging
by Suzanne Robinson 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Don't leave those rare gems languishing on a shelf in the back room! Bring them out for present and future use by learning how to create records for rare books that conform to current and upcoming best practices. Whether for research or in the classroom, rare books are being used in an ever increasing variety of ways. To facilitate these many uses, and as we transition to a cataloging environment more closely tied to the web, it is more important than ever to provide the right information and to structure this information as richly as possible. This introduction to creating original and copy cataloging records for rare books will provide you with the necessary foundation to do just that. The deadline to register for this three-day online webinar is March 10. Sign up now while seats are still available. https://www.mcls.org/training-events/training-events-list/training-event/?r… Please email training(a)mcls.org with any questions. Thanks, Suzanne Part time Hours: Tuesday and Thursday 9a - 3p, with slight variations I check email regularly -- best way to reach me. ------------------------------------ Suzanne Robinson, AMLS Continuing Education Librarian Midwest Collaborative for Library Services 1407 Rensen St., Suite 1 Lansing, MI 48910 800-530-9019 ext 134

MeL Minute - Full Text Journals List
by Borrelli, Eunice (MDE) 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hello all, The good news is that MeL databases offer online access to thousands and thousands of magazines, journals, professional publications, and newspapers. The even better news is that there is a quick and easy way to find specific titles in databases or obtain a list of suggested sources by subject (14 preset subjects with 100s of sub-categories). Take a look at the left column at the MeL homepage<http://mel.org/> and you'll see a link for Magazines & Newspapers<http://va9kx6en2s.search.serialssolutions.com/>. This takes you to the Full Text Electronic Journal List search screen from which you can Find e-journals by title or ISSN, Browse e-journals by title or subject, and Search for keywords in e-journals. Not sure of an exact title? Change the search index (by clicking on the down arrow next to "Title begins with") to "Title contains all words" and enter a keyword to produce a list of all publications that contain this keyword. The results of a search include title(s), ISSN, coverage dates, and link(s) to the specific MeL database(s) containing the publication. Coverage can vary among the databases so be mindful of the dates listed for each resource. A link to this e-journals search is also found at the alphabetic list of MeL Databases<http://mel.org/Databases> accessed from the top of the MeL homepage. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact(a)mel.org<mailto:contact@mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli, Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education, 702 W.

Chairs and Mats
by Pamela Withrow 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hello Everyone, Thank you for the advice on computer tables and K-Log furniture. Four of you replied that you were happy with K-Log's quality, price, and longevity. Yesterday we learned of another local company who might build the tables for us, and they gave us a great quote. I think we will probably hire them. Any recommendation on furniture companies for patron chairs at the computers? How about heavy duty entry-way mats? Thanks in advance for your help!
