Greetings! As we continue to work toward our MeL.org and database transition in a few weeks, we have some info to share to help you in your planning. * Database URLs will be available at some point in the next week or so. * The new MeL.org site will be live on 9/27. Our new site will have the new database links available. * The expiring direct database links will be available 9/27-9/30 on the MCLS site<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcls.org%2Findex.php%3FcID%3D265&data=02%7C01%7Cbreedl%40michigan.gov%7C350e71b852d0498198dc08d617ff9aa7%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C636722783908457397&sdata=2NF7Atp3spLgrtgVslGeQ7axEOvGoA7TC0JJLEw0LTQ%3D&reserved=0>. * The Get Ready page on the MeL.org site will only be available on our current site.
