Due to the elimination of federal funding through the Institute of Museum and Library Services paired with the Indiana State Library receiving a 30% cut in their budget for the coming year, we will be experiencing a reduction in the library databases we have access to from the State Library’s INSPIRE contract. This took effect on July 1, 2025.
The IU East Campus Library provides access to databases to our community through various means: consortium deals with other libraries, individual campus subscriptions, or gratis through deals brokered by IU Libraries in Bloomington, who have the authority and funding to support a university-wide subscription. As a public institution, we’ve also been able to share access with databases funded by the Indiana State Library, who can broker and fund state-wide access to subscriptions to all Indiana citizens and public institutions. I share this information to provide you context as to why the cuts to the Indiana State Library also impact us at IU East.
