INDIANA — Indiana library patrons, educators, and students have access to a robust suite of trusted academic databases and research tools at no cost through INSPIRE, Indiana’s virtual library service.

Supported by the State of Indiana, the INSPIRE initiative provides all state residents with unlimited access to premium educational databases, test preparation materials, peer-reviewed journals, and historical archives simply based on their Hoosier residency.
Expanding Awareness in Local Communities
To help patrons, schools, and researchers make full use of the service, state library coordinators are encouraging local librarians and educators to subscribe to the official INSPIRE newsletter and utilize curated communications toolkits designed to promote these resources to the public.
By integrating these promotional packages, local institutions can help community members discover specialized research databases tailored for primary education, higher learning, business development, and personal genealogy.
Access and Subscriptions
Indiana residents, educators, and library systems looking to stay updated on newly added databases and promotional materials can sign up for official email updates and access promotional resources through the INSPIRE State Virtual Library Portal.
