Introducing Aspen Discovery

On Monday, October 28, CLEVNET will launch a new and improved library catalog experience to make finding library materials, resources, and events easier. We are changing because Aspen Discovery offers a more user-friendly, modern browsing experience, making finding the materials you want even more accessible. It also provides exciting personalization features and search tools designed to help you discover all CLEVNET libraries offer with ease.

How does this change affect me?

We anticipate no downtime during business hours when we launch Aspen Discovery.

If you have a list in our online catalog, you can still access it in Aspen Discovery by logging into your account and clicking the Your Lists link. We will copy these lists on October 13, 2024. Please do not add additional titles to lists following this date, as changes made after October 13 will not be copied to the new catalog.

If you opted to Record Your Checkout History in our previous catalog, you can still access it in Aspen Discovery by logging into your account and clicking the Reading History link.

Reading History is a feature that allows you to voluntarily track items you check out. You may start or stop using it and delete any or all entries in your history at any time. If you enable the Reading History feature, you agree to allow our automated system to store this data.

We value your privacy. Please visit your CLEVNET library’s website to view their policy on patron information practices and the choices you can make about how your information is collected and used.
