Funded! Sideloading Permissions for Consortia

June 13, 2025 07:56 AM - By Jordan Fields

Sideloading allows libraries to add MARC records to Aspen without needing to store those records in their ILS. Sideloading permissions are currently all or nothing, either you can administer all sideloads or no sideloads.

With this development, consortium administration can delegate the managing of sideloads to individual library systems so that they can only access and edit their own sideloads.
