MeL Minute: A Student’s Perspective on College Success Skills
by Laura Warren-Gross 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

[A picture containing text, clipart, sign Description automatically generated]College students often experience the most freedom they have ever had when they step onto campus for the first time. Being prepared sets students up for a bright future. College Success Skills<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=PS…> from LearningExpress Library<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=lex> in MeL<https://mel.org/welcome> can help young people navigate all independence and rigor of life in college and beyond. College Success Skills includes lessons that help students start on the right foot. The lessons focus on five key areas: Organizational Strategies, Classroom Success Skills, Information Literacy Skills, Getting Academic Support, and Personal Success Skills. There are also Articles and eBooks related to these topics. Patrons start by creating a free account to save their progress and then they can browse and sample any of the 20+ tutorials. After my daughter finished her first year as a college student and athlete, I was curious to know how she might use the tutorials in College Success Skills to help her prepare for next year. I asked her to try out a couple of the lessons and provide some feedback. She completed two of the Organizational Strategies tutorials: Achieve Your Goals and Manage Your Time. There were several features that she liked: * Instead of just tips, there was a self-evaluation which allowed her to focus on her needs and what she would find most helpful * The activities were academically based and gave her ideas about how she could manage tasks by level of importance * They talked about organization in terms of personal space, not just time After completing two tutorials, she browsed through the other sections and found some additional features that she thought made College Success Skills useful: * The larger topics are broken down into different tutorials that allow her to choose the specific area where she needs help * There is information about post-college life so she can learn about money, credit, and taxes To promote College Success Skills from MeL to students and their families, libraries can offer a series of workshops to help recent high school graduates get focused on what it will take to be successful in college.

Greetings, all! I am in need of a quantity of old books otherwise headed to the dumpster or the recycling bin, but before you load up the truck and send them over, I'm a little picky about the type.

If you have any to share, please email me first. RIDES ZV 347 Thank you so much for your time! -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director Watervliet District Library 269-463-6312

Master Flutist/Jazz Historian/Educator/Lecturer
by Julie Censke 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hey All, Just passing on info about a History of Jazz library program. We've not had Galen present at our library, but it looks like it would be a great program. Julie Censke Library Director Colon Township Library (269) 432-3958 office ________________________________ From: Flute Juice Productions <flutejuice(a)aol.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2021 3:13 PM To: Julie Censke <Julie.Censke(a)monroe.lib.mi.us> Subject: HELLO JULIE! Check out Galen's info--Master Flutist/Jazz Historian/Educator/Lecturer Regarding the possibility of Galen performing for your organization, I am attaching promotional information for your perusal. Biography Galen is an extraordinary flutist with an extensive performance career. He is also a riveting speaker with encyclopedic knowledge on the history of jazz and the Civil Rights Movement. Galen studied at Berklee College of Music and holds a Master’s Degree in Education and Performing Arts from Rutgers University, New Jersey. Overview Our programs are designed with a focus on jazz history, women in jazz, and the elements of jazz as well as an overall understanding of musicology. This is often accomplished via lecture/demonstrations, master classes, and music performances. The primary goal is to provide students with an understanding and appreciation of this art form, its cultural background, and historical significance. Notably, Jazz was an instrument of expression during some of the most difficult periods in American history and is also considered an important pathway to a greater appreciation of music in general. Most performances include a music trivia. Lectures are exquisitely colored power-point presentations and are entitled Women in Jazz, History of Jazz, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Jazz and the Civil Rights Movement.
