ELM is available to Minnesota residents of any age with any subject interest. ELM is available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, home, work, or @ your library.

ELM is brought to you by your local library or school media center; Minitex, an information and resource sharing network; and State Library Services, the MN state library agency, with state appropriations to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and the Minnesota Department of Education.
The legislative intent is to provide Minnesotans with the best possible access to information resources across the educational spectrum, including K-12; higher education; local, state, and federal government; and public libraries.
