[Michlib-l] Michigan eLibrary: eBook Lexile® Levels

[Ann Kaskinen]

Good morning,
Field codes are a useful tool to use when searching many of the MeL databases for specific information. Lexile® levels are great to use for identifying the reading level of a book, especially for younger people. The field code for Lexile® in the EBSCO products from MeL is LX. We’ve created a handy, very general, interactive guide that you can use to help elementary-age students make selections for books that are in their range. Additionally, we’ve included some sample searches to get you started. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Se6MarW9iNmKq_-2SHRmkiA-PVPKlO3133k1acsdwk/edit

If you have questions about searching by Lexile® or the eResources in MeL, please contact us at melerhelp at mcls.org<mailto:melerhelp at mcls.org>. If you would like to schedule a training with your school or library, please contact us at mcls.org/melrequest<https://www.mcls.org/mel/mel-databases/mel-engagementtraining-request/>.

Have a great day!
Ann
