Aspen Weekly: Talking to Patrons About Aspen

Summertime and the living’s... not so... easy at many libraries across the country. You may have noticed an influx of new users who are discovering your library, your resources, and your catalog for the first time. Now is a great time to welcome them to your library and show them all your library catalog has to offer! In this week’s Aspen Weekly, we explore some ways you can accomplish this is Aspen.

Aspen Weekly: EBSCOhost

One of the main goals of Aspen Discovery is to connect patrons with library resources that they might not otherwise know about. EBSCOhost is a fantastic example of a resource that many libraries have access to, but have a hard time promoting and raising awareness of. In many cases EBSCOhost can be hard to find on a library website especially if a patron doesn’t know exactly what they are looking for. For these reasons, we wanted to lower the barrier and make it easy for patrons to search EBSCOhost within a familiar interface. In this week's Aspen Weekly, we share how this new integration works in Aspen!

Aspen Weekly: Content Enrichment

We receive questions from time to time, especially from libraries newly moving to Aspen Discovery, about the differences between paid content enrichment services. NoveList Select, Content Cafe, and Syndetics/Syndetics Unbound: what do these services do in Aspen? Where does the enrichment show up? Continue on to read about the differences and see examples from our libraries.

Aspen Weekly: Customizations

One of the things that I love about libraries is that every library is different. A library’s collection, what events they put on, and even how librarians interact with patrons in person and online reflect the values and priorities of that community. With Aspen Discovery, we aim to ensure that your online catalog can also be an expression of your community. In today’s weekly we’ll showcase how several of our partners have used Aspen’s features and customization options to create an online experience to delight their patrons.
