Academic library patrons have higher expectations in their online quest for knowledge and resources. They desire their online experience and interactions with the library ecosystem to be similar to what they are able to receive in their normal day-to-day lives: easy discoverability, simple content delivery, more personalization, access on any device at any time, faster support, and more avenues to knowledge at their point of need.
To facilitate a user experience that meets patrons where they're at and elevates the library offering, librarians are building rich, integrated online ecosystems that streamline the patron journey and simplify library workflows.
