Indiana residents now have unlimited access to a virtual library from their
schools, offices, homes and libraries thanks to a project called Inspire.
Any resident with access to the Internet and a web browser will be able to
view and search a collection of commercial databases, provided by EBSCO
Information Services, by pointing their web browser to
http://www.inspire-indiana.net
The information available through Inspire includes: the full text (and some
graphics) of 1,000 academic journals, 1,500 general periodicals, 210
periodicals for students, 31 children's magazines, 740 business titles,
1,000 health pamphlets, book reviews, three encyclopedias, and the
Christian Science Monitor, as well as indexing and abstracts of 3,100
scholarly journals, 3,200 medical titles, 1,500 business journals, 750
educational journals, 500 titles for students, 500 general health titles,
the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
The Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority (INCOLSA), a network of
more than 745 libraries, is managing the Inspire project. Funding for the
project comes from the Indiana General Assembly, the Institute of Museum
and Library Services, the Indiana Library Federation, the Indiana State
Library, and a grant from Lilly Endowment.
