Hello all, Did you know that included in the alphabetic list of MeL databases<http://mel.org/Databases> are some non-subscription resources? We have included four that although freely available online are ones you might not be familiar with and contain great and useful information. Here they are: ERIC<http://www.eric.ed.gov/> (free version) is the U.S. Department of Education online collection of peer-reviewed resources and research. Education Resources Information Center was founded in 1964 and today increasingly includes full text content of education related materials. FDSys<http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys> (Federal Digital System) is a component of the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) and provides online access to *authentic government information and documents.

WorldCat offers worldwide searching of digitized materials - archival material, downloadable archival and visual material, eBooks, and computer files. Hidden gems are literally at your fingertips as evidenced by their tagline, "Find the pearls". WorldCat<http://www.worldcat.org/> (free version) also from OCLC is the "world's largest network of library content and services." Search for physical items such as books, music CDs, documents, photos, and then locate a library near you that owns it. Use any of their nine new mobile apps (both iPhone and Android) to search and locate items and libraries. Enjoy! Eunice Eunice C.

Michigan Activity Pass: It's All Over the (Michigan) MAP!
by Jim Flury 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

All, Let's hear it for Calumet Public School Library, which as Michigan's most northerly public library, recorded its first ever MAP checkout yesterday. Two checkouts, actually. Yea for Calumet! Note to other Keweenaw Peninsula libraries, you've got some work to do! And speaking of the U.P., take a look/listen at what our friends at Escanaba Public Library have done, and promoted during a television interview: a workstation set up with MAP on it! How cool is that? http://abc10up.com/soar-explore-with-michigan-libraries/ As you are aware, statewide, online, expanded to include 230+ DNR destinations, MAP Year 3 went live on May 24. Today I am very pleased to share the news that thanks to the great promotional outreach of our sponsors, generosity of our partner venues (be sure to thank them when you have a chance), multiple late night sessions by our developer/programmer to fine tune the MAP software so as to get it exactly right for patrons, and a lot of hard work by the staff in Michigan's public libraries, you have circulated nearly one-third as many MAP passes in the first three weeks of MAP Year 3, as were checked out during the full 52 weeks of MAP Year 2! My colleague Brigette at TLN must have filled that MAP balloon with supercharged helium this year, because it is soaring out of sight! To that end, take a look at this MLive article that appeared in the June 10 Grand Rapids Press. In just 24 hours this article has generated over 12,000 shares on Facebook. Not bad for a library related piece, eh? http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2015/06/michigan_activity_… Elected officials are on board, too. Senate Appropriations committee chair Dave Hildenbrand is in the second photograph associated with the Grand Rapids Press article. Senator Jim Stamas, who is a strong advocate for libraries, attended a recent MAP press conference at the Alpena County Library. Granted, we are less than three weeks out from go live. But based on the checkout numbers I am seeing, and the fact that checkouts are occurring at libraries that saw little or no MAP activity during the first two years (see Calumet), I think it is safe to say that MAP is well on its way to becoming the program we envisioned when we expanded from a paper-based, metro Detroit libraries in six counties with 30 destinations model, to an online, statewide in all 83 counties with 400 libraries in 640 buildings and 385 destinations (the reporter in the ABC10UP piece above said MAP has an "endless list" of destinations) program three years ago. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
