History of INSPIRE
INSPIRE began in January 1998 as a project of the Indiana State Library, funded by a one-time development grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. Since that time, INSPIRE has been supported by the Indiana General Assembly through Build Indiana Funds and the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. Since 2009 the Academic Libraries of Indiana have partnered with the State Library to supplement the funding for online resources.
Teachers working on lesson plans can get instant online teaching and learning resources about specific authors and books with TeachingBooks, a FREE resource through INSPIRE. Whether your favorite author is David Macaulay, J.K. Rowling, Dr. Seuss, or Shakespeare—find any fiction or non-fiction title with this FREE resource available at INSPIRE.in.gov/teach-more.
