Patrons can find context and connections between the resources they view as well as take a deeper dive into a particular title or author. It is a critical element in providing the catalog experience we want for our patrons.”— Laurie Shedrick, Assistant Directory and Technology Operations Managers, Mid-Hudson Library System (New York)
