INSPIRE is Indiana's Virtual Library and is a collection of information resources
that can be accessed by Indiana residents using any computer located in Indiana. A new version of INSPIRE debuted recently with an enhanced look and search functionality. The new 360 Search uses results clustering in order to speed up searches and better organize data. Results clustering separates search results by subtopics, dates, journals and authors so that search results are organized and easy to browse.
“We believe users will appreciate the new INSPIRE’s more intuitive searching capabilities that now resembles popular online search engines,” said Roberta L. Brooker, Indiana’s State Librarian. “Now is a great time for Hoosiers that have not heard of INSPIRE to test drive this complete virtual library that is accessible from their home, school or work computer.”
In addition to the new functionality and look, please be sure to check out three new databases now featured on INSPIRE. Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center provides content for many of the most popular hobbies, sports and games. It has an interface that allows users to gain access to more than 450 books and magazines as well as more than 300 videos and manuals. Home Improvement Reference Center is designed to assist homeowners in do-it-yourself projects, as well as educate about general upkeep, home maintenance and remodeling projects. Indiana History Online has a multitude of Indiana historical materials. Drawn from the collections of Joseph Sabin, one of the nation's premier bibliophiles, and other Gale sources, the archive provides access to a wide variety of documents: personal narratives and memoirs, pamphlets and political speeches, sermons and songs, legal treatises and children's books.
