I'm going to quote the ILF Program because it describes this session best:
INSPIRE Me!
In 2013, the Pass-It-On team from the Indiana Librarian
Leadership Academy took the initiative to create a project
which aims to raise awareness and usage of freely available
public databases through INSPIRE. This session will provide
an overview of the project, findings of INSPIRE’s usage,
and resources available for you to get yourself familiar with
INSPIRE. This session is for all type of libraries, so be ready
to INSPIRE!
I have used INSPIRE before to help students with research, but I didn't realize that it had so many useful resources outside of journal articles for academic research. It also includes free access to magazines online, the MEDLINE database, newspapers and even free test prep guides. The team put this presentation together after collecting data on current INSPIRE usage. They presented their findings (which they have also shared with the INSPIRE administrators), presented their awareness raising website that breaks down what is offered in easy to navigate tabs, and answered our questions about how to teach our own patrons to use this collection of awesome free resources.
