Hello all,

An exciting new feature of the redesigned MeL.org is a Discovery Service Search. It enables users to search MeLCat, MeL Databases, selected websites, and selected digital collections – simultaneously. Results are displayed in one list and can be refined to obtain various formats, time frames, and collections – books, ebooks, articles, photos – they’re all there. On December 9, at 1pm EST, join me for a ½ hour webinar demonstration on how the search works and how to maximize its capabilities.

The webinar will be provided with Adobe Meeting Connect online meeting service and registration is NOT required.

Please see below for login instructions. The sessions will be recorded for viewing at a later time.
