Electronic Library For Minnesota—A World of Information


There is a wealth of magazines that our library has available for FREE to our library patrons and all you need is your library card.


ELM (Electronic Library for Minnesota) http://www.elm4you.org/ gives Minnesota residents online access to magazine, newspaper, and journal articles, eBooks (electronic books), and information from other reference sources—available to all Minnesota residents at no charge! ELM provides information about a vast array of topics, including consumer information, arts and humanities, current events, health, science, social science, politics, business and more. Access is possible both in the library and remotely from home, businesses and classrooms, or computer laboratories.

What is the Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM)?
Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM) is supported by appropriations from the Minnesota Legislature to provide Minnesotans with access to electronic information. Funds were appropriated to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and Minnesota Department Education for MINITEX and State Library Services & School Technology respectively to provide electronic access to general information databases.

The Legislative intent for this appropriation is to provide the best possible access to information resources across the educational spectrum (including K-12, higher education, state government and public libraries) on a statewide basis.
