LearningExpress Library in MeL
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hi All-I've had some questions recently about what will be available come October 1st from LearningExpress, so thought I would send this out to hopefully clarify: LearningExpress LLC is the parent company and now part of EBSCO; they have 3 different products: LearningExpress Library - which we will continue to offer via MeL Job & Career Accelerator - which we are not continuing Workforce Skills for the 21st Century - which we are not continuing In our current version of LearningExpress Library, it includes the Computer Skills Center; that however, will be discontinued come 10/1 as the company decided not to include it in LearningExpress Library in their RFP bid placing it instead in Job & Career Accelerator and the Workforce Skills product. You may recently have received an email or communication from EBSCO about LearningExpress products. That memo would be referencing the Job & Career Accelerator and the Workforce Skills products. Hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any questions. Deb Deb Biggs Thomas, MA AMLS Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48909 Phone: 517-373-4466 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit MeL at: http://mel.org<http://mel.org/> and on Facebook at: http://facebook.com/mel.org The Library of Michigan is pleased to share a new video series highlighting Michigan libraries and how they are making a difference in their communities.

exercise classes @ your library
by Perri Saunders 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Do you offer ongoing exercise opportunities at your library? If yes, what is the payment structure? Do you pay the presenter and offer the classes for free? Is there a charge to the patrons who attend? Do they pay the presenter directly, or pay the library? Do you have waivers for patrons to sign? Could you share? Thanks for any information/advice you can give. Have a fantastic Monday! Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 Phone 269.483.7409 Fax 269.483.9923 perri(a)monroe.lib.mi.us<mailto:perri@monroe.lib.mi.us> Brighten the corner where you are.
