Website Earns Honor The CADL website has earned a Gold MarCom Award from the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals. Congratulations to our web designer Addis Enterprises, IT Director Sheryl Knox and all the CADL staff who helped with the new website (www.cadl.org<http://www.cadl.org>). The MarCom is one of the oldest, largest and most prestigious creative competitions in the world, with industry professionals judging companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence. https://www.amcpros.com/ Frozen Fridays People are lining up for a chance to attend our special screening of Disney's Frozen II. Loosely based on the "door buster" concept that the retail sector uses, four branches of CADL are hosting Free Frozen Fridays where 450 free tickets are given away to new and current library members for a limited time. Some branches have had people waiting up to three hours prior to the giveaway start time. CADL is also running a promotion with Disney for their Aladdin Musical (graphic is attached).

MeL Minute: Fall updates
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

[A close up of text on a white background Description automatically generated]This fall has brought a few changes to some of the MeL eResources and today's MeL Minute has all the updates for you! Gale Name Changes Back in the summer, Gale updated some of their resources, which included branding. Rounding out these changes are the names to two of the Gale eResources that we subscribe to. * DemographicsNow is now called Gale Business: DemographicsNow * Opposing Viewpoints in Context is now called Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints The A to Z listing on MeL.org's eResources page has been updated and these two eResources can now be found under the letter "G". Britannica Fundamentals Britannica has released a totally new experience for their LearningZone product, along with a new name. Britannica LearningZone is now called Britannica Fundamentals. To support the use of this eResource, Britannica has also released a Teacher Guide for Britannica Fundamentals<https://fundamentals.school.eb.com/pdf/Britannica_Fundamentals_Guide.pdf>. In it you will find an introduction to the new layout which includes 4 areas: Play, Read, Explore and Create. But don't let the name fool you! While the Teacher Guide does have a lot of rich material to help connect content with curriculum standards, public library staff will find the material helpful for developing storytimes and other programming activities for young learners. If you have any questions, or need assistance with links, please don't hesitate to contact meldatabaseshelp(a)mcls.org<mailto:meldatabaseshelp@mcls.org>. New eResource: Michigan History Magazine We're excited to share that MeL has a new subscription offering, Michigan History magazine!

Read about our state's diverse history through feature articles and special sections. A wide variety of subject matter, time frames and perspectives are offered while inspiring, educating and entertaining readers. Coverage runs from January 1, 1998 through May 1, 2009. To add this eResource to your website, look for the Direct URLs<https://mel.org/library-staff/operations/direct-urls> or the geoIP URLs<https://mel.org/library-staff/operations/geo-ip-urls> on MeL.org Brought to you by the MeL Team.

OPAC stations
by Marla Drury 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Hi all - We recently updated our public computers and added three new OPAC stations, bringing us to five total. We're trying to find a way to "lock down" what folks can access from these stations - ideally, we'd like them to only be able to access our website and Melcat. Our IT company recommended G Suite, but that is cost prohibitive for us at this point. Have any of you found an effective way to prevent folks from using OPAC stations to check email, social media, etc. that doesn't break the bank? Any advice is appreciated.

Special QSAC Congratulations!
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Greetings! The Library of Michigan congratulates the Capital Area District Library for achieving one of only two current Excellent levels. The following libraries have recently received certification or renewed their status. Excellent Level Capital Area District Library, Scott Duimstra-Director, https://www.cadl.org/. If you would like to learn more about the Library of Michigan's Quality Services Audit Checklist, QSAC, program, visit www.michigan.gov/qsac<http://www.michigan.gov/qsac> where you can find information on how to submit a QSAC application as well as other resources to help your library achieve the measures outlined in each level of service. QSAC measures AND certifications are on a three-year update and renewal schedule to ensure the measures and libraries stay on top of quality service. The Library of Michigan works with volunteer librarians every three years to revise the measures based on participating libraries' experiences and new trends in library services, programs and technology. It is our goal that QSAC measures will continue to provide direction and support for libraries as they look to both improve their services and justify their services to funders. If you have any questions regarding QSAC, please do not hesitate to contact me! Evette Atkin Evette M.
