The move was intended to increase and improve their computer power on the same computer used by the Offlcal Airlines Guide (OAG). OAG and BRS are now part of Maxwell Online, Inc. along with ORBIT. For a few days over the Columbus Day weekend, only a core set of 40 databases were available. A list of these databases were sent out to all BRS users in advance of the move. All databases are once again availahle. Have you noticed a difference in the response time? MLC would like to know what your experiences have been so give us a call. All training and customer service (including billing) personnel also moved about the same time, but from Latham to McLean, VA where ORBIT has been based. Billing from BRS to MLC IIlay be delayed a bit so be patient while we scramble to get them out the door as soon as possible. NEW BROCHURE C Maxwell Online, Inc. (the parent of BRS and ORBIT) has produced a new brochure that describes each of their services. This includes the ORBIT Search Service which specializes in patents, chemistry, engineering, and other types of technology. BRS Information Technologies, which IIlost MLC members are familiar with, is especially strong in the health and social sciences as well as a good balance of business databases. Copies of original patents can be obtained through the Pergmnon Search Center based in the U.S. P&TO. Many international business databases are available on the Pergamon Financial Data Services which was previously know as Infoline before many of the science & technology databases were moved over to ORBIT a few years ago. To request a copy of this brochure, call 800456-7248 and ask for the publication that says "Bringing Together The World's Information Resources." MLC continues to support BRS through all levels of training and discounted access and ORBIT through discounted access. If you are interested in ORBIT training, please give MLC a call to let us know.

    Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Newsletter February 2011 President George W. Bush Discusses His New Book “Decision Points” at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum On December 2, 2010, President George W. Bush was warmly received by Susan Ford Bales, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Trustees, Library and Museum staff as well as over 250 Friends of Ford for a special moderated question and answer discussion about his book, Decision Points. Susan Ford Bales, daughter of President Gerald R. Ford and Mrs. Betty Ford, introduced President Bush. She commented on the special friendship between the Bush and Ford families. Bales said “It’s a personal joy and honor today to welcome – with a big smile – a man of principle and compassion, a man of impeccable integrity and honesty, a man of courage and humility, a man my father deeply respected and was so proud to call his friend.” President Bush commented that he and Susan belong to a very exclusive club. “Children of the Presidents Club”. President Bush spoke for over an hour to an overflow crowd that listened intently. There were numerous funny moments. President Bush was asked how it feels to be a bestselling author, he said, “Some people are shocked I can even read, much less write.” He talked about the decision point President Susan Ford Bales and President George W.

Several years ago, I took up gardening and still enjoy planning, planting, nurturing, re-arranging, trading, anticipating, watching things grow, pruning, ridding pests, and wedging dirt under my fingernails. It’s therapeutic. Working in a library, I find we are much like gardeners (and occasionally get just as dirty). We spend our days planning programs, nurturing young (and sometimes not so young) minds, watching our collections grow, and weeding materials from the stacks. For those of us who allow food and drink in our libraries, we sometimes even have to rid our buildings of pests! We’re now spending a few days in Grand Rapids, home of the lovely Meijer Gardens among other great amenities. I hope that you may take some time before or after the conference to visit some of the area museums and other attractions. Many are offering conference goers discounts on admission prices if we show our badges. (See page 5 for more details.) I wish to convey my gratitude to the many sponsors who have given so generously Michael McGuire to MLA. Their logos, sponsorship acknowledgments, and advertisements appear PRESIDENT, MICHIGAN LIBRARY throughout this program. Our conference would not be such a success without them. ASSOCIATION My thanks go to the staff of the Grand Rapids Public Library for hosting our All- 2005–2006 Conference Reception on Wednesday evening.
