Like PINES, Missouri Evergreen uses a slightly customized version of the app with Ken Cox as well. We have always been pretty pleased with it. As some of our libraries have started to implement Aspen and their app, there was great relief that the apps were pretty similar in capabilities.

Hi Will,

PINES uses a slightly customized version and our patrons (and staff) absolutely LOVE it. I believe Ken Cox, the app developer, is on this list, but you can email him at kenstir@gmail.com for implementation details.

Good afternoon everyone,

 

We recently received a request from one of our member libraries to add our consortium, NC Cardinal, to the Hemlock library catalog app.  First I must admit I had never even heard of this app until we received this request, and I have no experience with it myself.  According to the library that made this request, patrons were previously able to use the app, but now specific consortia have to be listed in a dropdown menu in the app, and NC Cardinal is not currently included in that list.

 

I have tried to look into what adding our consortium to the app would actually entail, but I am not finding much.  One of our concerns is the potential cost, if any, associated with doing this.  Do other consortia use this app?  If so, what has your experience been with it?  How did you add your consortium to the app?  Is it subscription based, a one time fee, or free?

 

Any information you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you.
