Share Your ELM Stories!

Bill DeJohn, Minitex Director

Our ELM Story feedback form is ready for input from you and your users! Please share with us how you have been using ELM resources over the last few years in your classes, for your homework, at your workplace, for your personal interests, or in other ways you have found ELM resources to be useful. We want to make legislators and administrators aware of how ELM resources, which are funded by the Minnesota Legislature, are being used and how important they are to libraries, schools and Minnesotans throughout the state.

Given the budget reductions in local libraries and schools, ELM resources are in many cases the only trusted, authoritative electronic resources available. We have added several electronic resources to ELM making it an even more powerful tool for users of all ages and with varied interests. There is something for everyone. New resources include the Encyclopaedia Britannica and several science and health databases.

Your stories are important because we will share them with legislators and other stakeholders. The more specific and descriptive they are, the more compelling they are, especially when teachers, students, the general public, and library staff provide very specific 'stories' of how you used ELM resources to teach, do homework, research topics, answer questions, gather information to help solve local community problems, and/or provide information.

Thanks for your support and assistance and be sure to let us hear from you.

We've made it easy for you to submit your ELM stories. Just click the widget in the upper right column of this blog. It will take you directly to the submission form. We encourage you to take a minute and do it now to assure that these valuable online resources can remain available.
