Thing #17

It's a shame that the ELM databases aren't really accessible to all Minnesota libraries. It would have been, I think, a good idea to allow all libraries access without any strings, but who am I to question the powers that be.

Anyway, I tried Net Library. It a resource I've used before, but I took a better look at it this time. It's an impressive and well maintained database. I'm shocked at how many full text books are available. It's astounding the amount of information that can be found online at no cost whatsoever.

When John gets to this thing I might have him create an account and we can try the shared folder challenge. I might revisit this a little later on.
