McNaughton Book Leasing for SHARE (by Brodart)SHARE Vendor Demo

Short on time and shelf space? McNaughton Book Leasing for SHARE may be your solution to keeping up new titles and the processing work that comes with it!

With this monthly book lease subscription, McNaughton will send five or ten pre-cataloged and pre-processed bestsellers to your library each month, reducing your holds, saving you staff time, and maximizing your shelf space.  

This is the second year of this first-of-its-kind book leasing program for consortia. The program and its pricing are exclusive to SHARE.

Aspen Discovery Implementation

Submitted by Jace Cook on Tue, 04/23/2024 - 8:46am

Are you ready to get the Aspen Discovery implementation process rolling?

SHARE staff and ByWater Solutions have worked together to create a plan of action, outlined below.

 

Cohort Model & Timeline

Due to the large number of libraries that have chosen to add Aspen Discovery, we’ll use a ‘cohort model’ for the implementation. Each cohort will consist of 20 – 30 libraries. Our first cohort will begin training in November 2023 through December 2024. Wondering which cohort your library is in?

Cohort 4A: Public Libraries and Academic Libraries A-L - Implementation begins in May, Go Live in August

Cohort 4B: Public Libraries and Academic Libraries M-Z - Implementation begins in July, Go Live in September

Cohort 4C: School Libraries and Special Libraries A-L - Implementation begins in August, Go Live in October

Cohort 4D: School Libraries and Special Libraries M-Z - Implementation begins in September, Go Live in November

Your library will receive a welcome email and continuing project plan information from Lesley Zavediuk.
