The Michigan eLibrary (MEL) is a collection of online, licensed resources provided by the State of Michigan to all of its residents for free.

These resources are called databases. The information you will find in them--articles, books, book chapters, and more, are not available through Google. Their access is limited to those who have paid for the service (in this case, the State of Michigan).

You can get to the Michigan eLibrary through its website, mel.org.

The MeL Teens Gateway has been created to help high school students with homework, health information and college preparation.

We will explore the Life Happens-->Vocations/Jobs section for resources to help us with a job search, interviewing and networking skills and writing resumes and cover letters.

Learning Express Library is a licensed database that you can access through the Michigan Electronic Library. You can find it in the MEL Database list, or the Teen Gateway.

And always be careful about open internet websites that ask you for personal information or want you to set up an account.
