Hi all,

It’s just about time for that first term paper or research project to be turned in and students may be panicking.  But, MeL can help you come to the rescue by providing access to the General OneFile database which is an all-purpose, up-to-the minute source for news, commentary, and analysis.  It covers a wide range of topics including business, current events, economics, environmental issues, health care, humanities, literature and art, politics, science, and social science.  Updated every 24 hours, it contains over 130,497,000 mostly full-text articles from the 1980s to the present.   For “visual” learners, Term Clusters searching is now available in addition to advanced, publication, and subject guide searching.  Suggest General OneFile as a go-to source for students of all ages and be confident they won’t be disappointed.  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. 

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 or visit Michigan.gov/mel.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.
