If the website is operational, but another library system is down, here are some alternate pages to which we can point users.

In the meantime you can access these ELM Databases from anywhere with in Minnesota (IP range)

Also St. Kate's LibSearch offers numerous OER open educational resources, many of which don't require EZproxy access. Limit your search by "Open Access"
