13 Jul '23

Our physical audiobooks are just sitting on the shelves while our downloadable offerings are circulating like mad. It's gotten to the point of considering not funding that collection and putting money toward our digital offerings. How has your circulation of these items been since Covid? What are your long term plans for this collection?

MeL Minute: For the Love of Horses
by Ann Kaskinen 13 Jul '23

13 Jul '23

[A white letter on a blue green and red background Description automatically generated]I’m not sure if I Love Horses Day (July 15) from the National Day Calendar<https://nationaldaycalendar.com/?s=i+love+horses> can be considered official, but it encourages us to learn more about the many ways horses have impacted our lives. One way to celebrate this day is to utilize the Michigan DNR website<https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/horseback-riding> and find equestrian trail maps, campgrounds, and events in which you can actively participate. Another approach to observing I Love Horses Day is to explore the wide range of horse-related content found in the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL). Children The colorful pictures in the The Horse Encyclopedia<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> from the eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> and the extensive list of individual nonfiction titles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> from the eBook K-8 Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> are perfect for becoming familiar with individual breeds. If students are more inclined to learn about ways horses have impacted our history, then they might consider checking out the chapter on horses<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> from the eBook, Animals That Changed the World<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Britannica School<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=eb> not only offers great reference content on horses, but there are also images and video clips that can be easily linked in learning management systems. A keyword search for horse in World Book Kids<https://www.worldbookonline.com/kids/home?subacct=O6106> garners an informative article, images, and video clips. There are also links to related articles on topics such as Bronco, Horseback Riding, Mustang, and Shetland Pony. Teens & Adults History Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers a wide range of past and present magazine articles and historic images addressing our nation’s relationship with horses. A recent article from Wild West magazine, Vic at The Little Big Horn<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, shares a fascinating account of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, who fashioned himself a breeder of thoroughbred horses. Custer bought his horse, Don Juan, for $125 in 1865 (11 years before the Battle of Little Bighorn<https://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/Battle-of-the-Little-Bighorn/48537>). Later, Don Juan was shipped to Michigan for a stud career. More horse history can be found in the eBook Academic Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> through titles such as Horses at Work: Harnessing Power in Industrial America<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, Horse Nations: The Worldwide Impact of the Horse on Indigenous Societies Post 1942<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, and Horse Racing the Chicago Way: Gambling, Politics and Organized Crime, 1837-1911<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Finally, if you’re looking to learn more about horse-related books, NoveList Plus<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers extensive book reviews. This eResouces also allows users to utilize limiters, narrowing results by such items as Audience, Award Winner, Fiction/Nonfiction, Forthcoming, and Starred Review.
