Be sure to check out the “Get Ready for October 1” area on www.MeL.org which contains information to help you prepare for the upcoming database changes.

Resources on this page include:

An excel file called Database CrossWalk.

Worksheet 1 is a summary list of expiring, new and continuing eResources
Worksheet 2 links expiring eResources with new eResources. A brief description of the new eResources is also available and includes, where available, the number of total titles and full-text titles.

Introductory EBSCO webinars: Links to register for sessions from now through September 13
Training Resources for each vendor are also linked on this page. All vendors offer short video overviews and tutorials which is a great way to get your feet wet. Several offer recorded webinars.

TRIALS

Trials are available until October 1. These trials are setup using a MeL account, so if you test any features that allow you to save content in a personalized folder, that content won’t be available to you after these databases are live with the permanent links.

For most of these, after signing in you will need to click on “All Databases” to see the full list of products available in each package. After clicking on “All Databases” you will find that title lists are available for most resources.
