Hello all, Have you noticed the new button that has begun appearing next to MeL internet resources listed in the MeL Gateways<http://mel.org/index.php?P=Home>? While each database has a unique and colorful button representing the subject covered in the resource along with its name, the button for internet sites has been a generic green or gray background with "www" inside a globe - until now. Because one of the tenets of the Michigan eLibrary Collection Development Strategy<http://mel.org/files/lm_2013_MeL_CollectionDevelopmentStrategy.pdf> is to include authoritative resources that focus on Michigan and the needs and interests of our residents, we now have a button that clearly identifies an internet resource as a Michigan website. Work is underway to review every internet resource listed in MeL and to apply the Michigan website button as appropriate. As you move among the MeL Gateways<http://mel.org/index.php?P=Home>, we hope you'll note the quality and quantity of great homegrown information provided by Michigan organizations, schools, businesses, libraries, and government agencies and how they meet your information needs. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact@mel.org<mailto:contact@mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian, Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.
