When your patrons find a search box, they tend to enter really anything into it - even if it's not the right search tool for their needs. They're searching for articles in your room reservation system or trying to find museum passes in your discovery layer. When they zero in on that search box, they're off and their fingers are running.
Does this sound familiar? If so, you'll be excited to hear that Springshare's LibCal events are now integrated into ByWater Solutions' Aspen Discovery. So, Aspen patrons will be able to search for events right inside the discovery layer! Additionally, patrons can filter events by LibCal facets include Age Group, Program Type, Branch, and more. For events that require registration, patrons will see a registration button which links them directly to the LibCal registration page. This exciting partnership brings patrons one step closer to the information they're seeking right inside the search box they know and love.
