Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect and a problematic personality. Controversy, scandal, and even murder swirled through his life. He designed buildings that have become World Heritage Sites, created new architectural styles, and integrated his structures with the surrounding landscape. He also undercut his first employer; made impossible demands on builders; left his wife for a married woman; and suffered the loss of his wife, friends, and home in an arson-murder. Wright's biography is more astounding than fiction-and we'll experience the whole story on America's Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright Tour August 17-20, 2019. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/FrankLloydWright_Itinerar y.pdf> See the full tour itinerary. <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/frank-lloyd-wright- registration/> Register online for this tour. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/FrankLloydWright_Registra tion.pdf> Download the registration form. $799* *Includes motor coach transportation; all lodging; all dinners and breakfasts; some lunches; and all admission fees, taxes, and gratuities.

Half Remembered Picture Book
by Kimberlee Gardner 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Hello amazing librarians! We had a patron come in earlier inquiring about an old picture book she read when she was a little girl in the early or mid-1980's. While she doesn't remember the title or the author of the book she was able to describe a few key features of the story. According to the patrons memory, the gist of the story is a sword swallower who injures himself while swallowing a sword. While in the hospital his daughter draws with chalk on the sidewalk outside until his release. She said she remembers the illustrations as being really nice. I've had no luck searching Mel or Worldcat. Any ideas? Please reply to me directly. Thank you, *Kimberlee Gardner, MLIS* Youth Services Librarian kimberlee.gardner(a)rhpl.org *P* (248) 650-7145 *W* http://www.rhpl.org <http://goog_1564729760>

MeL Minute: Get Today’s New York Times! Access Via Opposing Viewpoints in Context
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

[A close up of text on a white background Description automatically generated]Sometimes conventional ways to search aren’t always an option. It’s not so unusual for a patron entering a library to inquire about a book by stating, “I remember the cover of the book was sort of green.” That might be matched with some deeper knowledge such as, “The author is a man,” or, “The article is really short.” When vague descriptions happen, we always inquire further. Sometimes luck is on our side, and we’re given the title of the resource and the approximate date of publication, “I read it in the doctor’s office last month. It was in The New York Times, I think.” Score! If you have the publication title and approximate date it was published, there is another way you can search MeL to access individual database subscriptions. To find articles by date for your patron, simply follow this unassuming path: >From the home page, click the eJournal link. 1. That will take you to a search bar, where you can enter the publication title (Example: New York Times). 2. Click the eResource (Example: Opposing Viewpoints in Context) that houses that subscription. 3. Click the date of the publication you’re seeking. 4. If you’re searching a newspaper, you will need to click the news/number combination at the top of the page to expand and see all the articles from that date. 5. If you’re searching a journal or magazine, all the articles will be listed from that date’s publication. 6. Click the article title, and you will be given the same options as you would in any other result: PDF or HTML format, link to Google Drive, citation options, text to speech, print, etc… This is powerful information, as you can also utilize this path to search journals, magazines and newspapers that are currently for sale in your local store. It is also a great route to follow if you’re inquiring about subscriptions that feed the individual eResources. For example, if you want to know which eResources house a subscription to Scholastic News, you will see this result after you search the publication title: Scholastic News<http://web.b.ebscohost.com/ehost/viewarticle/render?data=dGJyMPPp44rp2%2fdV…> ISSN: 0736-0592. Elementary Education. Full Text Access<http://web.b.ebscohost.com/pfi/results?vid=1&sid=a34499a7-0493-46f3-b3be-cf…> Education Source<http://web.b.ebscohost.com/pfi/ExternalLinkOut/PubFinderLinkOut?sid=a34499a…> 09/06/1999 - present MasterFILE Complete<http://web.b.ebscohost.com/pfi/ExternalLinkOut/PubFinderLinkOut?sid=a34499a…> 09/06/1999 - present Primary Search<http://web.b.ebscohost.com/pfi/ExternalLinkOut/PubFinderLinkOut?sid=a34499a…> 09/06/1999 - present Science Reference Center<http://web.b.ebscohost.com/pfi/ExternalLinkOut/PubFinderLinkOut?sid=a34499a…> 09/06/1999 – present This is not the only way to find out which subscriptions populate the individual eResources provided by MeL. EBSCO has provided a list<https://www.ebsco.com/title-lists> of all the subscriptions inside each of their eResources. These are helpful tools that inform MeL users about all the content available in the Michigan eLibrary. Discovered! And Brought to you by Ann Kaskinen, K12 Engagement Specialist of the MeL Team. Supporting Michigan Libraries by Putting You First. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, visit http://mel.org<http://mel.org/>, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery<https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/subscriber/new>.
