Hi all,

Did you know that in addition to the Gale databases<http://www.mel.org/files/mel_2015_dblist.pdf>* listed in the MeL Databases<http://mel.org/databases> tab (of which there are 30) there are some specialty (aka Power Pack) resources available to all Michigan residents?   21 topic area collections are included as part of basic searches in many of the listed Gale databases but they can also be selected individually or in groups for a more focused query.  Access to these topic collections is easy and direct by clicking on the link in the right corner of many listed Gale databases and following the directions to select the collections you're interested in and then performing your search.  Labelled "View Gale Resources<http://find.galegroup.com/menu/commonmenu.do?userGroupName=lom_accessmich&_ga=1.121357128.1565572322.1443626258>" or "Gale Databases<http://find.galegroup.com/menu/commonmenu.do?userGroupName=lom_accessmich&prodId=GVRL&lang=en&_ga=1.11192436.1565572322.1443626258>", clicking on the link reveals collections including War and Terrorism, Popular Magazines, Culinary Arts, Diversity Studies, Fine Arts and Music, Gardening, Landscape and Horticulture, U.S. History, and others. And, because these are Gale databases, the full complement of tools, limiters, and content types you're familiar with are available.  Happy searching!
