ELM for research Thing #13

I was sick today, so i actually got some Internet type work.

My daughter is working a major college paper on the Iraqi government so it seemed propitious to explore ELM. I looked at ELM during the workshops but could not find a venue that i thot would work well for ESL students. Altho i havent tried it yet for the higher English proficiency 1st language poetry research project.

It work quite well to turn up hundreds of publications of varying degrees of academic levels. The advanced search interface is quite good. The problem i had often was that i could not see any obvious ways to actually read many of the articles. If there was a PDF download of the article that was obvious and easy. But often i could read the abstract and then see not even tell if the article had to be purchased, was off-site and could be read, or was available on-site but i was too stupid to see the button to click to read it.

I think it will take me a while to get to know it.
