During 2004, the West Midlands was one of the pilot regions for Inspire. The three pilot areas within the region were Coventry, Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton and Inspire builds on their experience both nationally and locally. Inspire has attracted a high level of commitment from libraries in the West Midlands with 100% sign up from the public and HE libraries, as well as strong support from FE, health and special libraries.

The Monitoring and Operational Group (MOG) for Inspire in the West Midlands meets several times a year and is made up of representatives of the key library stakeholders in the region.  The MOG liaises with a network of sub-regional library clusters from across the West Midlands.
