Project Team
The Illinois Government Information (IGI) search engine is a joint project of the Illinois State Library and the University of Illinois, providing search capabilities across the state government websites of Illinois. These facilities were designed, implemented, and are operated by the Electronic Archives project group of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Accessibility design advice and reviews were principally provided by Professor Jon Gunderson of UIUC Disability Resources and Educational Services. Major funding for portions of this project, and related work, has been provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
