Hello again—this is your last reminder to please take some time out of your busy schedules to review the resources found below when accessing via the trial websites under consideration for inclusion in the Michigan eLibrary starting October 1, 2015.  We’ve noticed that we don’t have as much feedback on the resources proposed by EBSCO, GALE and PROQUEST, so if you’re able to review those, that would be most appreciated!  Please share this email with your colleagues as well. The survey will close at Noon on June 5, 2015.  You can also provide feedback and get updates on the MeL RFP process at, http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_39174_70693---,00.html. Thanks very much for being a part of the process!
