fall has brought a few changes to some of the MeL eResources and today’s MeL Minute has all the updates for you!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Gale Name Changes<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Back in the summer, Gale updated some of their resources, which included branding. Rounding out these changes are the names to two of the Gale eResources that we subscribe to.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
DemographicsNow is now called Gale Business: DemographicsNow<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Opposing Viewpoints in Context is now called Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The A to Z listing on MeL.org’s eResources page has been updated and these two eResources can now be found under the letter “G”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Britannica Fundamentals<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Britannica has released a totally new experience for their LearningZone product, along with a new name. Britannica LearningZone is now called Britannica Fundamentals. To support the use of this eResource, Britannica has also released a
<a href="https://fundamentals.school.eb.com/pdf/Britannica_Fundamentals_Guide.pdf">
Teacher Guide for Britannica Fundamentals</a>. In it you will find an introduction to the new layout which includes 4 areas: Play, Read, Explore and Create.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But don’t let the name fool you! While the Teacher Guide does have a lot of rich material to help connect content with curriculum standards, public library staff will find the material helpful for developing storytimes and other programming
activities for young learners.<o:p></o:p></p>
