Are you having trouble engaging students with ELM Resources? Do they enjoy finding clues and completing missions? Do they like to be the hero in their own adventure? Look no further than the Minitex Digital Scavenger Hunts! The “Scavenger Hunts are a collection of stories designed to require an adventurous dive into ELM database content in order to solve a mystery, rescue a team, or open a snack stand. Choose from one or more of the following adventures and win badges for completing the missions.” The content looks fun AND gets students exploring ELM Resources.

What is ELM you ask? “The Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM) is a collection of databases available to Minnesota schools, libraries, and residents. The ELM databases give Minnesota residents online access to magazine, journal, newspaper, encyclopedia articles, multimedia and more on a vast array of subjects. ELM is brought to you by your local library or school media center, Minitex, and State Library Services, the Minnesota state library agency, with state appropriations to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and the Minnesota Department of Education, and federal LSTA funds under the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.”
