MnKnows-One-stop Access

MnKnows – Dig Deeper @ Your Library (www.mnknows.org) gives Minnesotans one-stop access to five statewide library services:
· Find books, CDs, DVDs, articles and more through the MnLINK Gateway and have them delivered to a local library.
· Search trusted information resources in the Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM) to find online articles and electronic books on a vast array of topics.
· Discover photos, documents and maps related to Minnesota history through Minnesota Reflections.
· Get real-time answers from a librarian 24/7 at AskMN.
· Use the Research Project Calculator to create sensible timelines for student's homework.
Leveraging state, local, and federal funds to supplement the resources of local libraries, MnKnows (or, read it as "Minnesota knows") functions through the cooperation of libraries, school media centers, and cultural heritage organizations throughout the state. When visitors wish to dig deeper at their local library, MnKnows.org provides a link to the Minnesota Library Directory, which lists public, academic, and other libraries in a specified area. The directory is maintained by State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education.
