Minnesota libraries and their patrons now have access to even more reliable resources through the Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM). Thanks to the hard work of Minitex and its committee members representing libraries of all types, all of the current ELM databases will continue and more have been added. You can see the list of databases by clicking here. These resources will be available beginning July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2012. Minitex will be working with libraries to make sure they can add these databases to their eresource lists. And keep in mind that MnKnows (www.mnknows.org) is the new online portal that gives Minnesota students and library patrons one-stop access to several statewide library services: MnLINK Gateway, Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM), Minnesota Reflections, AskMN, the Research Project Calculator, and the Minnesota Library Directory.
ELM is funded with state appropriations to Minnesota Office of Higher Education and the Minnesota Department of Education, and federal LSTA funds under the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The legislative intent is to provide Minnesotans with the best possible access to information resources across the educational spectrum, including K-12, higher education, state government and public libraries.
