On January 27th, we will be moving to a new discovery layer.
No need for a lifeboat, however, since the look and feel will be very similar!
The AspenCat team is currently working hard to get your new pages set up. One good thing of many: we will be migrating our URLs so your Pika page will be the same as your new discovery layer page…which means you don’t have to do anything! We will likely have a very small amount of downtime the Sunday before we go live, but it should be a fairly easy transition.
We’re very excited about this decision for many reasons, including:
- Being hosted by the same company that hosts our ILS and having an API means we will have a stronger connection between Koha and the discovery layer
- cloudLibrary will be fully integrated into our discovery layer
- We will have more agency to make development decisions, as well as quick changes that libraries request
- And…it looks and functions almost exactly the same – your patrons probably won’t even notice…take a look for yourself!
