Hi Deb and Eunice,
I hope you’re drying out over there! I saw some of the images around Lansing yesterday and I couldn’t believe it.
I wanted to send several webinar training dates for Business Collection and Research In Context that I pulled from our training calendar…  http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/webinars/
 
These webinars are open to all states/all libraries, so they won’t be MeL specific webinars, but they are great training opportunities for anyone that wants to attend. 
Of course we’ll also continue to schedule Dinah for the MeL webinars on these topics as well throughout the fall.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!
InfoTrac Business Collection
Library users who count on your library to support their business interests look for relevant, reliable content that’s accessible and easy to use.  On August 7, PROMT, European Business ASAP, Business Index ASAP, Business & Company ASAP, General Business File, and Business International & Company Profiles were automatically upgraded and replaced with InfoTrac Business Collection, a comprehensive, innovative new resource that incorporates their content.  With nearly 4,000 leading business and trade publications, this resource provides the coverage and depth your business information consumers need most. And it delivers this information on the newly reimagined InfoTrac platform.  Learn about this exciting new product at one of the upcoming Gale webinars.
