Bud #17: ELM Tools

I worked for years in a small rural school library with no budget.
You can imagine how excited I was when I learned about the
ELM resource. It truly is a gift to Minnesotans that, in the age
of Google, gets too often overlooked.

Now I work daily to train students on advanced methods of
using these databases. They really appreciate the free
"My EbscoHost" account they can set up. This allows users
to save their searches and articles on Ebsco to retrieve later.
Check out the "Visual Search" with your terms for a more
visually appealing results list.

Thanks again to all the librarians and lawmakers who make
ELM funding possible.
