The new interface is powered by EBSCO Stacks and has a clean “tiled” appearance featuring some of our most popular resources, including:
- Rosetta Stone
- Consumer Reports
- Health and Medicine
- Test Preparation
- Current News
- Historic Newspapers
- Digital Collections
- Genealogy
Library users and staff can select one of these pre-selected topics and quickly navigate to that area. These databases will rotate as needed, and we welcome any suggestions you may have. There is also a scrolling menu of other subjects (e.g. biographies, business and student resources) below the tiles.
The search box and results page have not been changed, and you can easily start your search by typing in keywords in the box at the top of the homepage. If anyone prefers the previous interface, that can still be accessed here or by clicking on the TeachingBooks.net and Newspapers.com graphic on the new homepage.
Watch for new “how-to” videos, as well as an updated FAQ page, coming later this year.
INSPIRE is free for use for all Indiana residents, and is made possible by the Indiana General Assembly through Build Indiana Funds, The Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, and in partnership with the Academic Libraries of Indiana.
