Innovative, part of Clarivate, is thrilled to announce that Suffolk Cooperative Library System (SCLS), New York, a consortium of 56 member libraries, has successfully launched Vega Discover to help patrons uncover library collections with more relevant online search results.
Established in 1961, SCLS is one of 23 public library systems servicing more than 740 locations across New York state. The SCLS exists to help local public libraries provide the best in traditional and innovative public library service to the people of Suffolk County.
“We are incredibly excited to have partnered with Innovative to develop Vega Discover,” stated Nicole Turzillo, Administrator for Technology Services at the Suffolk Cooperative Library System. “This multi-year project reflects our commitment to providing patrons with the best possible catalog. Vega Discover offers patrons a more intuitive and efficient way to explore and access our extensive collection of books, eBooks, movies, and more. We are confident that Vega Discover will significantly enhance the library experience for all.”
Suffolk joined the Vega Development Partner Program when the vision for the Vega Library Experience platform was in its initial stages. In addition to launching Vega Discover as their primary catalog, they have also created a Discover kids catalog for young readers, which helps their mission to serve the community better and personalize the patron experience.
Vega Discover is built for serving diverse communities and providing personalized experiences through:
- A responsive and accessible interface, designed for patrons of all ages and abilities
- A custom and curated experience through themed catalogs, Showcases, enrichment content, and more
By streamlining resource discovery and promoting engagement, Vega Discover enables libraries to better serve their patrons. You can eliminate endless scrolling for patrons with intuitive search results that combine all formats and editions into a single search result with one smart “hold” or “check-out” button, simplifying workflows and offering at-a-glance availability.
Vega Discover is a part of the Vega Library Experience (LX) suite of unified solutions built to manage a full range of library programs and services while enhancing daily engagements with patrons, staff, donors, and community members. Vega LX modules integrate with the Polaris and Sierra ILS to create one, highly efficient library ecosystem.
