Grove for Libraries is pleased to announce the successful implementation of Aspen Discovery for the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC), along with ongoing custom development and support.
CCBC partnered with Grove for Libraries to bring Aspen Discovery to its college library, providing a central place to discover library materials and connect with resources, including Gale and EBSCOhost through a modern, flexible interface. The library shares an Integrated Library System with the local public library, allowing patrons to pick up materials at the college or public library locations.
As part of the partnership, CCBC is sponsoring updates to OAuth single sign-on (SSO), contributing to the continued development of Aspen Discovery and its authentication capabilities.
“As a small community college, we felt that it was essential to make our library resources easy for our students to discover and access. Grove for Libraries has been a wonderful partner in getting us set up to create a more intuitive library experience. We're excited about the possibilities Aspen offers."
Jennifer Cribbs, Reference Librarian, CCBC
“Librarians and educators put so much work into helping students succeed. We’re glad to support that work by helping CCBC make its resources easier to find and use thanks to Aspen. We look forward to continuing to support them in providing the best possible browsing experience for their users.”
Jordan Fields, Grove for Libraries Co-Founder
