[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Enriched Content

[Duimovich, George]

Laura, I'm glad you asked as I was interested in the same kind of feedback, but haven't yet started looking at it much yet. 
 
I believe there are some Evergreen Sitka libraries that are using or plan to use Baker & Taylor's Content Café (prices determined by your circ stats), but our library hasn't any experience with any enrichment services yet. Given the explosion of good quality free or lower cost services, I'd like to see our library more fully exploit them first (e.g. LibraryThing for Libraries, Google Books, OpenLibrary, etc.), but I'm curious to check out Content Cafe and Syndetics since they have some advantages too. 
 
FYI, I will forward you off-list the info I just recieved from B&T's Content Cafe.

Hi, everybody.

 

Who do you use for enriched content? We're using Syndetics but are looking to compare vendors. Is anybody else using another vendor they like?

 

Thank you!
