[Michlib-l] [MeLCat] MeL Minute: New MeL Promotional Resources

[Mel Cat]

Very nice.  I love all the new Mel Stuff.

This summer, for our adults, we are adding a line in their "Mission Log"
a.k.a. Reading/Activity Log, that says they can earn an entry into the
Grand Prize drawing by accessing a database on Mel.org (which is a totally
separate line from the other databases that the library offers, ie SCOLA,
ancestry.com and such.
