New INSPIRE Campaign to Air Statewide throughout September
Additionally, in the coming weeks the State Library will distribute new INSPIRE promotional items that highlight popular resources like the Testing & Education Reference Center and new INSPIRE products like Home Improvement Reference Center and Hobbies & Craft Reference Center. These items will be distributed to any public, school or academic library that receives INfo Express delivery, and will be available at the ILF Annual Conference in November. More INSPIRE marketing materials are also available on the INSPIRE marketing webpage. This is also a place, and now is a great time, to update your website's widgets and links that feature the new INSPIRE. Libraries, Individuals Encouraged to Join in Banned Books Week
The deadline to submit a video is September 28 . Only organizations (not individuals) may participate in the 50-state event. All individuals who wish to participate in Banned Books Week are encouraged to create a video for the Banned Books Virtual Read-Out. Best Kept Secret: Library Aims to Serve Hoosiers with Disabilities
The Center for Disability Information and Referral (CeDIR) strives to be the primary disability library for residents of the State of Indiana by providing access to appropriate, quality materials and services. Whether you’re a person with a disability, family member, educator, service provider, or a researcher in the field, CeDIR can help meet your information needs. Our materials are free to check out, and if you are outside of Bloomington, no worries we’ll ship them straight to your door! Patrons can return our materials to any IU Library throughout the state, or mail them back to us at their cost. CeDIR has a lending library of approximately 8,000 books, kits, videos, and DVDs that are available to borrow by anyone in Indiana as well as Indiana University faculty, staff and students. Our materials cover issues impacting the lives of people with disabilities from birth through the aging process. Information is available on topics such as diagnosis, daily living, assistive technology, disability rights, education, employment, community living, early intervention, child care and more. We are also pleased to provide access to Language Assessment kits to licensed Speech Language Pathologists throughout the state. Our materials are searchable through IUCat and you will also find resource guides, the latest posts from our blogs, a section just for kids and so much more on our website! Not sure quite what you’re looking for? Feel free to contact us, we’re happy to help you find the right resource to fit your needs. |
