WYLDcat on Aspen
Improved Experience
Aspen was created to give users an improved experience over other Discovery systems with less impact on library budgets. With continuous, user-driven development Aspen presents an exciting solution for the WYLD network to best meet the needs of libraries and their patrons.
Features and Benefits
Aspen presents an attractive, intuitive layout with thoughtful, user-centered design. Aspen combines the library catalog with e-content, digital archives, and enrichment from all major third-party providers. It also improves relevancy and ease of use, provides native reading recommendations, and displays all formats of titles within one result (FRBR).
Aspen supports customization at the library level, allowing libraries within a consortium to make different design and feature choices based on local needs. While Aspen is designed to be responsive to different screen sizes, the mobile app LiDA is included at no additional cost with the Discovery package.
