Hello everyone,

As has been mentioned in various notes and messages, Gale Cengage, a MeL database provider has entered into a partnership with Google to integrate use of Google Drive and Google Classroom into some of the resources available through MeL. Recently, they offered live webinars on how to use the Google tools now with the “In Context” databases (Research in Context) and soon with the InfoTrac databases. The webinars were recorded and are now available for viewing. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

· Using Google Drive & Google Classroom to Channel Gale Content for Classroom Learning

· Meeting the Needs of Middle School Students with Research In Context

· Recordings on other Gale resources can be accessed at: https://cengage.webex.com/cengage/onstage/g.php?PRID=13faba7fdaf74a78b2b282e8cfe2ca56

· If you have any feedback regarding the webinars/recordings, please share it through this feedback form.
