Internet Access Helps Grow Business
I had a gentleman who came in to use the internet to help him in his new business. He is an auto mechanic and works on engines from all makes of cars and years. He has started a web site similar to blogging where he sends out questions, or requests help, on a certain problem he has in repairing the vehicles. Mechanics from all over email solutions to him or information that may be of help. He also responds to others who have similar situations. He said it has been very helpful in his business. He can't afford the internet yet so he uses ours.

Indiana Is Blessed to Have INSPIRE
INSPIRE is a wonderful resource that I use almost daily. From students wanting access to the full text of scholarly journals to a child trying to identify a variety of leaves, I find INSPIRE the place that contains thorough answers for many rewarding reference quests. I also rely on it for professional use, drawing upon its biographical database for access to Contemporary Authors, and as an index to a variety of journals that the library could not otherwise afford access to. INSPIRE is an extremely valuable tool from the standpoint that it provides users with quality information on a wide range of important subjects and saves small institutions such as ours money -- Indiana is truly blessed to have such a resource.
