ByWater Solutions announces support of Aspen Discovery for Northern New Hampshire Library Cooperative

Press Release: ByWater Solutions [April 25, 2022]

ByWater Solutions, America's forefront provider of Open Source library technology support, announced today that they are providing support and hosting services for the Aspen Open Source Discovery system for the Northern New Hampshire Library Cooperative.

Mary Cronin, Director of the Cook Memorial Library, recently commented on the implementation.

I've already heard from patrons who are so pleased with the new catalog. They love seeing all the formats grouped together. Some are busy making lists and rating titles, others are browsing the cover images to find what's new and placing holds. It's been fun introducing this to our patrons, and being able to offer something nice and new and easy to use.

About Northern NH Library Cooperative

The purpose of the Cooperative shall be to improve library services of member libraries through shared catalogue access, wider distribution of materials with less duplication, increased convenience for patrons to borrow and return library materials, sharing up-to-date technical expertise and staff training, increased purchasing power, and implementation of other actions members may agree upon. To facilitate expanded service, the Cooperative will acquire and maintain computer software for an Integrated Library System (ILS).
