Does the Indiana State Library accept electronic school transcripts?
Yes. Electronic transcripts are usually the fastest and least expensive option available. Electronic transcripts must come directly from the school and should be sent to this email address.
Does the Indiana State Library still accept paper school transcripts?
Yes. If your school does not offer electronic transcripts, the state library still accepts paper transcripts, too. The transcripts must either be mailed directly to the Indiana State Library from the school or you may personally convey a transcript to the library as long as it is still sealed in the original envelope.
Transcripts sent via mail should be addressed as follows:

The Midwest collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) will host two free round table discussions this month in Michigan and Indiana.
These round table discussions are free and open to anyone with an interest, but MCLS asks that participants register online so they know how many to expect.

The discussions will take place as follows:

The committees of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) are currently seeking individuals to help guide and advance the work of the organization. Any public library staff member may participate in CSLP. It’s a great way to become active at the national level, network with peers across the country and build resume and leadership experience.
Work is done virtually, via email or web meetings. Some committees require more time commitment than others; those interested should check with their supervisor before applying.
Public librarians and library specialists with an interest in supporting nationwide summer library program activities are encouraged to apply to serve on any of these committees:
• Budget and Finance
• Social Media
• Vendor
• Statistics
• School Outreach
• Inclusion
• Membership
• Partnerships
• Child & Community Well-Being
• Manual Idea Development
• Manual Review
• Rules of Use
Those interested in serving on a CSLP committee should complete this application. Applications will be received by the individual Chairs and applicants will be contacted.
For more information about the committees, click here. Click on the committee of interest on the left sidebar, and then click on Committee Description for details.
Please direct any questions to CSLP Organizational Coordinator Luke Kralik.

For those looking to earn LEUs via webinar, the Indiana State Library would like to remind everyone about the list of hundreds of free courses available through “blanket” providers. The list can be found on the library's Approved LEU Providers page.
In order to earn LEU credit by viewing archived webinars, keep in mind that the provider must be on the blanket list, the program must exceed 30 minutes in length and if the provider does not give a certificate for archived programs, participants will need to use an in-house certificate instead.
Libraries will need to issue the in-house certificate. The certificate must list the original provider, the title of the course, the date viewed and whether the program is LEU or TLEU eligible. Certificates must be signed by a proctor who is vouching for the fact that the participant viewed the program. Library directors should have their board chair sign as a proctor and librarians must have either their supervisor, the head of HR or the library director sign the certificate. A sample certificate may be downloaded here.
If the program teaches general librarian skills, an LEU will be earned. If the program teaches how to use devices, apps, software, social media, online databases or other computer skills, a TLEU will be earned.
