MeL videos on YouTube? That’s right. MeL has its own channel now and currently we list videos of the recorded monthly training webinars conducted by MCLS and LM as well as individual links to the four business videos found in the redesigned Business portal
and a message from State Librarian Randy Riley. Additional content will continue to be added as it becomes available. All of the videos are fully closed captioned and easy to view and share! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
