MARC Records for Shared eBooks Available Online
All Indiana libraries have the capability to download the MARC records from the Indiana Shared eBook Collection into their own catalog. Once records for the over 2,500 titles from leading publishers of reference, scholarly and professional books are downloaded, your patrons will have access to all the eBooks available through INSPIRE.
Catalog records will not only show that these titles are available in your collection, but it will also link your patron directly to the NetLibrary eBook for immediate access. NetLibrary also has a personal NetLibrary account function that enables patrons to create bookmarks, add personal notes, customize their search preferences, and access their current eBook for later use from their home, school or work computer.
Instructions for downloading MARC records for the Indiana Shared eBook Collection are available from SOLINET. If you need additional assistance, please contact the INSPIRE helpdesk.

DWD to Loan Computers and Offer Training to Public Libraries
The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) has partnered with the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) and the Indiana State Library to provide training and computers to local libraries, community groups, and faith-based organizations currently helping Hoosiers file for unemployment benefits. A training session to explain the unemployment filing process in detail and offer helpful advice to best assist unemployed Hoosiers will take place on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Indiana Government Center South Auditorium in Indianapolis. The State Library will record this training and post the video online at WebJunction Indiana.
In addition to the training, DWD has started a computer loan program that will provide over 200 surplus state computers to public libraries and other organizations to meet the demand of unemployment filers in their area.
Libraries and organizations interested in participating in the loan program should contact Valerie Kroeger with DWD at 317-234-4026 or vkroeger@dwd.in.gov. This information and more, including tutorials and other DWD resources, is available on the new Unemployment Assistance Tools webpage.
