Aspen is LIVE!

Submitted by megan.filipowski on Wed, 11/01/2023 - 10:52

Aspen is LIVE!

There are a couple of things to note:
1. Holds cannot be placed on magazines in Aspen. Holds can still be placed for guests in CarlX or Carl Connect.  There is development to make this an option and we will notify you as soon as it is available.
2. Lists were pulled from CARL.X on Friday, so any updates guests made to their lists after that did not come over. 
3. Print newspapers do not display in Aspen because they don’t have items.

Aspen Updates

Submitted by megan.filipowski on Mon, 10/30/2023 - 18:17

• After further review of content from Goodreads, we have decided to not offer Goodreads reviews in Aspen.  We have no options to filter and there is inappropriate content. Novelist and Syndetic information and reviews from several sources (Booklist, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal) are included.  These can be seen under “More Title Information” when you are in the title page.
