Searching for used Shelving
by Jaema Berman 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Dear Colleagues, We are trying to add to our used shelving and are looking for these two models - see attached pics. We just need a few to match what we have. They are sturdy and last. Would anyone who looks at the pics, know what brand they are? Many thanks in advance! Sincerely, Jaema -- Jaema Berman Director Addison Twp. Public Library 1400 Rochester Rd.

Business Plans Handbook
by BiggThomas, Deb (MDE) 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Hi All-Did you know that the Small Business Resource Center (SBRC) in MeL contains all of the plans from Gale's Business Plans Handbook? When clicking on the "Business Plans" tab in SBRC, there are 675 results, the most recent with a pub date of 2015 and the oldest (Vol 1.) with a 1995 pub date. So, that's another way to get them besides what's in MeL's GVRL Business Collection which actually just has Vol. 24-26, 2012-2013. Please share with the business support organizations and your entrepreneur patrons with whom you work! Teacher-Librarians, please share this with your Business Education/Young Entrepreneur teachers :) Have a great weekend!

X-Ology magazine
by Kristin Keyes 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

A former faculty member is looking for an article from the Summer 2013 issue of this magazine. The article was co-written by her husband, Stanley Gordon and William Schlick. This magazine is published in the metro-Detroit area and not widely held at all in libraries, so I know that this is a long shot. Please respond off list. Thank you, Kristin Keyes Part Time Librarian Schoolcraft College
