Atlanta, GA -- August 15, 2023. Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to announce that OWWL Library System, a New York cooperative public library system that supports libraries in Ontario, Wayne, Wyoming, and Livingston Counties, has selected Aspen Discovery with Equinox support.
"Equinox made it easy to launch Aspen Discovery," said Ron Kirsop, Executive Director of the OWWL Library System. "We're excited to offer our patrons Aspen's seamless integration with our digital content. Staff at our member libraries have already begun to use Aspen to highlight their collections and programs."
As part of the project Equinox helped deploy Aspen Discovery on 44 systems across the OWWL Library System. The project included implementation, support, and training services offered by Equinox. Sequoia, Equinox's hosting platform, will support OWWL's instance of Aspen Discovery.
"Equinox is excited to make Aspen Discovery available to OWWL's member libraries, with customization for each of OWWL's systems" said Jason Boyer, Senior System Administrator at Equinox. "Aspen Discovery brings OWWL's library collections and programs to the forefront with greater flexibility and branding options than they had before."
