Palace Project integration is now available in Aspen LiDA with the 24.03 Aspen release!

by Jordan Fields on Mar 28, 2024

With so many library patrons accessing ebooks and audiobooks from their mobile devices, it was critical to make sure that Aspen’s LiDA mobile app also supported access to Palace Project."

- Jordan Fields, Aspen Product Librarian

Users of Aspen LiDA can now discover and check out library materials from the Palace Project! This econtent integration works in the same way as other econtent integrations such as Libby and Hoopla. When a title is available from the Palace Project, users get a button to check out the title from the Palace Project specifically. You can also use filters to narrow any search results down to only include Palace Project titles. Any titles you check out can be accessed from your account in LiDA.

The 24.03 release also includes more than 50 updates for Aspen Discovery with improvements to accessibility, event integration, payment history, and so much more.

You can learn more about all of the 24.03 improvements for Aspen Discovery and LiDA in this month’s release notes.

This release includes code contributions from:

• ByWater Solutions

• Nashville Public Library

• Equinox Open Library Initiative

• Theke Solutions
