The Michigan E Library (MEL) Educators Resources     (http://imel.mel.org:8080/mer/SPT--BrowseResources.php)

MEL is not a glitzy site. Recent reorganization has left it pretty unusable except for searching. Browsing, always it's strong suit, is now nearly impossible, with long lists of items under each heading, doled out a few at a time with no way to move quickly through the lists.. The presentation is specific, easy to understand, and kept current.
