<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Periodically we are asked how the MeL Minute messages are delivered, who can access them, and how to subscribe. Currently, the messages are sent via e-discussion lists that the Michigan library and educator communities have access to,
namely, <a href="mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org">michlib-l@mcls.org</a>, <a href="mailto:meldatabases@mcls.org">
meldatabases@mcls.org</a>, <a href="mailto:mamelist@mcls.org">mamelist@mcls.org</a>, and
<a href="mailto:gmr-mhsla@list.uiowa.edu">gmr-mhsla@list.uiowa.edu</a>. In addition, as appropriate, the MeL Minute content is posted to
<a href="http://mel.org/">http://mel.org/</a>. Recently, we’ve added a new delivery method,
<b>GovDelivery</b>, which is a system used by government organizations worldwide to increase digital engagement, connect with over 120 million citizens, build communities around data, and support training initiatives. Some of you may already receive GovDelivery
messages from federal government agencies (Commerce, Census, Labor) as well as state of Michigan departments.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, what does all this have to do with the MeL Minute? It means that for individuals for whom subscription to one of the above mentioned e-discussion lists isn’t an option, they can sign up for GovDelivery and get the same MeL Minute content
that’s delivered to the lists but without all the other postings and discussions . It’s easy and quick. <!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
