IU Libraries digitization project creates rich
repository of Hoosier authors
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 15, 2013
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. --An Indiana University Libraries project that will
allow anyone to research Hoosier authors and their bibliographies online --
as well as access hundreds of digitized books --is nearly complete.
Conceived years ago and
funded in 2006 by a Library
Services and Technology Act
grant through the Indiana
State Library, the "Indiana
Authors and Their Books"
project oversaw digitization of
a three-volume reference set
published by Wabash College
that covers nearly 200 years
of Indiana's literary history.
The books include authors
who were born, raised or
educated in Indiana, or who
lived in the state for a major
portion of their lives.
The website hosted by IU Libraries includes more than 7,000 author entries
