Research Help All Day - Every Day

It is that time of year for those final papers and projects.  The library and the Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM) can help. 

One option is the "Research Project Calculator" or RPC.  This web-based tool creates a timeline for completing an assignment and helps you stay on track with email reminders.  The calculator is available to Minnesota students and residents.  The Research Project Calculator offers students a simple and comprehensive five-step model for navigating the research process. The skills involved in this process will prepare students not only to conduct academic research, but to make life decisions—whether defending a thesis related to the causes of civil war or selecting a new car.   Just click on RPC and get started.

Another great source is ELM (Electronic Library for Minnesota).  ELM gives Minnesota residents online access to magazine, journal, and newspaper articles as well as other reference sources.  it is online all the time, 24/7.  You will find topics that include consumer information, arts, humanities, current events, health, math, science, social sciences, politics, business, and more.  Just click on ELM and check it out.

Links for these options and other online sources are also available from the library's database page.  Just click on Hibbing Public Library.
