Indiana: Nets—from hoops to resource sharing Available to Purchase

On 11 July 1994, Governor Evan Bayh and State Superintendent for Public Instruction Suellen Reed announced the formation of ACCESS INDIANA, for the purpose of developing a statewide information infrastructure that will extend to every community in Indiana. Rather than using tax dollars, the goal of ACCESS INDIANA is to offer all Indiana residents cost‐effective opportunities for access to online public information, by using public information to encourage the development of a commercial information infrastructure that will provide the capabilities and appearance of a single network service.
