Thing 17. ELM Productivity Tools

an online, virtual library comprised of 15 databases/resources from 4 different vendors (Gale/Cengage Learning, EBSCO, ProQuest, & OCLC).

The ELM Portal (http://elm4you.org/) also provides access to the ELM databases with a patron’s library barcode number.
The ELM databases offer a variety of Web 2.0 tools that can make using the databases more efficient for library staff and library users.
