Hi All—well, yes indeed—there are now non-fiction ebooks available in SIRS Discoverer in MeL:  http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-proq.php?database=SIRSDISC

When you’ve connected, just look in the “Database Features” box and you’ll see the link.  Categories covered include:  Animals, Arts & Humanities, Biographies, Curriculum Activities, Environment, Health & Human Body, History & Government, Science, Sports, and Technology.  All ebooks are Lexile scored.

But wait!  There’s more!  SIRS Discoverer also has Pro/Con Leading Issues covering a wide variety of topics and Animal Facts (including photos). These are also accessed in the “Database Features” box.

Let me know if there’s interest in setting up a webinar with our ProQuest trainer to go over these new features and this amazingly useful resource in general!

Kind regards,

Deb
