PATHFINDERS
...references that point students directly to topical research materials.
ONLINE DATABASES
Subscription databases are preferred resources for "surfing" the
Internet. Better than mega-search engines that return millions of web site
suggestions --many of them worthless to the researcher, subcription databases
provide organized and authoritative information that can save time, frustration
and assure that the information retrieved is legitimate and appropriate.
The Gale and OCLC databases are provided free of charge through the Electronic
Library for Minnesota (ELM), which is supported by appropriations from the
Minnesota Legislature.

for password information.
