NetLibrary Gives Way to New Platform this Summer The NetLibrary name/platform will soon retire as it transitions to EBSCOhost. A preview site of eBooks on EBSCOhost is now available for users who login at www.netlibrary.com. This site offers a sneak peek of the new design. Leading up to the summer transition, EBSCO will host three eBooks on EBSCOhost workshops at multiple times and dates in the coming months, including:
This change will affect all NetLibrary collections purchased by your library and the Indiana Shared eBook Collection on INSPIRE. The collection's strengths include eBooks focused on popular topics and information of great use to Hoosiers. In particular, the collection offers professional development resources that offer insight into writing effective résumés, learning simple and advanced computer skills and career guidance and job effectiveness strategies. Additionally, the collection contains extensive medical and personal health holdings from topics on diet and weight loss to information of all aspects of physical and mental health. LSTA Grant Funds Delayed Due to Budget Uncertainties The Indiana State Library will award about half of the LSTA grant funds it expected to give in 2011. Continuing uncertainties regarding the federal budget and funding for LSTA will result in the State Library funding the top half of the ranked applications for digitization and technology grant programs. These applicants will be notified of their award in the coming weeks. Once the State Library receives notification of the actual amount of LSTA funds available for 2011, additional projects in both sub-grant categories will be considered. If you have any questions, please contact LSTA Grant Consultant Jennifer Clifton at jclifton@library.in.gov or (317) 234-6550. For more information the about Indiana LSTA grants webpage. |
