Hello, Thanks, Jim for sending the Capstone information out to the list. You’ve given me a wonderful opportunity for reminding everyone about the great resources that are on the mel.org COVID-19<https://mel.org/covid19> page! Amongst the offerings on that page are the Capstone Interactive eBooks, mentioned in Laureen’s email. A direct link to the Capstone Interactive page is provided, along with login and password information. This allows Michigan library staff access to the eBooks without filling out a form requesting access. In addition, specific login instructions for logging into each of the Capstone resources can be found at https://mel.org/covid19#pebblego. The mel.org COVID-19<https://mel.org/covid19> page also provides access information for expanded offerings from Britannica, EBSCO, Gale, and World Book. Again, thanks so much for providing another opportunity to get the word out about these free supplemental resources!
