PaILS would also be interested in joining this discussion! We are beginning to investigate discovery layers.

Thanks,
Kat

Hi Lindsey,

The Consortium of Ohio Libraries also uses Evergreen and will be adopting Aspen in the near future. We'd definitely be interested in being part of this conversation.

Best,

Hi Lindsay,

Count us in! We'd love to share our experiences as another Evergreen + Aspen system and would also be interested in exploring opportunities for collaborating on development projects.

Lindsay,

We are looking to deploy Aspen in Indiana, and I’m very interested in what features your patrons are missing.

Hi all,

We recently rolled out the Aspen discovery layer, and are finding a number of features that were in our Evergreen OPAC that are not (yet) supported in Aspen, and that our patrons very vocally miss.

I know there are at least a few other Evergreen sites using Aspen, so I'm thinking it could be helpful to share experiences, patron feedback, lessons learned, identify common issues, and maybe consolidate our efforts for development (regardless of Aspen host)?
