Welcome to this feature from the Management & Economics Library (MEL). These database snapshots will give you basic information about our most relevant and beneficial online resources. This week our feature is not a database but a recap of a quick way of getting to the business databases.
Tool name: MyMEL toolbar; from the Management & Economics Library.
Link: www.lib.purdue.edu/mel, in the left column under MEL Links, click on MyMEL toolbar and download the toolbar in seconds.
Description/focus: This toolbar gives you access to MEL’s resources on your laptop or pc.
Start with this hint: The first dropdown on MyMEL is the list of databases. The next link is a list of BizTools, including course pages and tutorials. Research Tools links to aids such as citation management help. RSS feeds has news from the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Business Week, and Inside Indiana Business.
Why you should know this tool: MyMEL gives quick access to the databases, but also provides links to your department home page as well as MEL’s home page.
How this will help students: The default search engine for the search box is Google but can be changed to Google Scholar, eJournal Finder, the Purdue Catalog, or others. The link for Research Tools gives quick access to the Online Writing Lab (OWL) and Software Remote.
Cost: No cost. Updated and maintained by Hal Kirkwood, Associate Head, MEL.
