Ipswich, MA -- June 27, 2024. INSPIRE, Indiana's Virtual Online Library, has extended its contract with EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO), enhancing product offerings to provide a robust collection of online resources to all residents of Indiana who have Internet access at school, home, in their library or at their place of business.

Starting July 1, 2024, residents of Indiana will have access to all EBSCO resources that have previously been available through INSPIRE, as well as a few new databases. Resources span across various research needs offering academic, business and general interest resources, including EBSCO's distinguished resources, Academic Search Complete and Business Source Complete. EBSCO databases available through INSPIRE also include medical research resources, including biomedical, consumer health and nursing information pharmacology, as well as children's and teens' resources, e-book collections, newspapers, communications and literature resources, and multilingual materials.

New to the collection, Job & Career Accelerator, provides job-seekers with tools to explore careers, build resumes, and find and apply for open positions. Rosetta Stone Library Solution Plus, an interactive world language immersion program, will also be accessible and includes more than 50 hours of foundational instruction in each level of each language. LearningExpress Library Complete is also now part of the collection and provides academic skill-building, test prep and career-related resources.

Director of Indiana State Library, Jake Speer, anticipates continued success with Indiana's Virtual Library and the wealth of resources it provides to the residents of Indiana. "We look forward to continuing our relationship with EBSCO and the benefits our residents gain from the comprehensive collection of resources made available to encourage lifelong learning."
