How to Direct Link to Individual Databases

The links on the Databases A-Z and Databases by Subject pages uses the same geoip checks as the main INSPIRE interface. This allows direct access to all the individual databases. 

You can get the correct URLs from either the Databases A-Z, or Databases by Subject page. From one of those pages hover over the database name, right click on the link, and choose "copy shortcut" from the drop down menu. This is the address you will use as the direct link.

The Indiana State Library is pleased to announce new content for INSPIRE as a result of a recently concluded negotiations.  Over 25 new databases were added to the INSPIRE collection and nearly all of the content from previous years was renewed.  The multilingualism of the content has been greatly increased and a Level One access for Rosetta Stone for 30 different languages has been added!

We are pleased that we can continue to offer this service to the citizens of Indiana and look forward to working with libraries throughout the state to market these authoritative and professional resources. 

We would also like to thank the Academic Libraries of Indiana (ALI) for its continued support, allowing us to keep the Academic Search Premier package and the State Legislature for allocating funds for INSPIRE.

*Please note that Rosetta Stone is for individual use, not for K-12 classroom use.

Rosetta Stone

The increased number of databases have resulted in a rearrangement to the Databases by Subject Page.  The DIY section has been removed, but the links can still be found under the STEAM (formerly Science and Technology) section.  There is also a World Languages section available now, highlighting many of the above named resources, include Consumer Health Information in 16 additional languages.


Business Source


Libraries linking to individual databases directly, please note the Business Source Premier has been upgraded to Business Source Complete.   


INSPIRE is a service of the Indiana State Library. INSPIRE is supported by the Indiana General Assembly through Build Indiana Funds, The Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act and in partnership with the Academic Libraries of Indiana
