Aspen Update #2 - CARL.X, Events and eContent Loaded

The Aspen Implementation Team has been working closely with Bywater Solutions on integrating CARL.X, Library Market (events), eBooks, and Ebscohost (articles and database searches) into Aspen.  If you search the test URL (https://metrolibrary.aspendiscovery.org/), you will find much more content.  Ebooks and electronic resources included are:

• Overdrive
• Hoopla
• Kanopy
• Ebsco eBooks
• LinkedIn
• Creativebug
• Film Scripts Online
• Press Reader (a new newspaper and magazine resource)
• Odilo
• Tumblebooks (coming, not yet loaded)
• Ebscohost (articles and databases)

In addition, there is a test Kids Catalog (https://metrokids.aspendiscovery.org).

You can search the catalog (print and electronic), the online collection, articles and databases, events, and lists by clicking on the drop-down menu.  Also, in the upper right corner, you have a language setting with the option to search in English, Spanish, or French.

We have many more actions to complete before we Go Live on November 1st. In the meantime, please check out the test catalogs. If you have any questions or suggestions, please send an email to [email protected].
