Hello Michigan Library Community!  I have sent out the trial sites and logins in previous messages, but this one now has a link to a survey that we ask you to fill out as you review the resources offered by the vendors/companies listed below.  We really appreciate and rely on your feedback in the decision making process, so we're hoping you will take some time out of your busy schedules to provide us with that!  The survey will close at Noon on June 5, 2015.  You can also provide feedback and get updates on the MeL RFP process at, http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_39174_70693---,00.html.
