Aspen Discovery Feedback

The Aspen interface has completely rejuvenated our on-line presence and made our catalog far more helpful and useful to our library users. Our only mistake was that we didn't implement it sooner.

-Los Gatos Library

We are really pleased with the upgraded look, feel, and functionality of our catalog. The support we received from Kal and the Aspen team kept us informed and on track, which made for a low-stress transition. Aspen had been a topic of conversation for several years, and I’m so glad we finally made this happen for our library community.”

-Williamson County Public Library
