Staff bonuses
by Rebecca Higgerson 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Do any libraries provide a monetary staff bonus at the end of the year? Not related to longevity of service or other automatic fringe benefits, etc. I’m not sure if it would even be legal or appropriate. Asking for a friend. J Thanks in advance!! *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 248-627-9880 (fax) *“We enhance and strengthen community by providing open access to educational information, recreational materials, and programs that enrich lives and promote lifelong learning.”*

MeL Minute: New Journal Title Finder
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Did you notice that MeL's A-Z journal list went missing there for a little bit this summer? We went out to bid for a service that could meet this need for the Michigan eLibrary and opted to change vendors. We're now using EBSCO's Full Text Finder. It includes the ability to both search and browse for titles. While searching, a keyword suggestion drop-down menu will appear to assist you. Once you have a list of results you can refine your search via facets located on the left hand side of the screen that include the ability to limit via various subjects, to peer-reviewed journals and by resource type such as "report" or "newsletter." Just like with the former A-Z list, once you have a result Full Text Finder will show you each database in MeL that contains access to that title, the years available, and a link to reach it. The browsing list contains subject areas such as Health & Medicine or Religion & Philosophy and shows you how many titles apply that area (in the case of Health & Medicine the number is over 1,700!). You can view a video of the new service here. Full Text Finder is available from the MeL homepage where it is labeled "Magazines and Newspapers." Happy reading! Brought to you by Deb Renee Biggs and Sonya Schryer Norris, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact(a)mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.
