Hello Aspen folks!
We've heard the concern from libraries about what will happen with their content enrichment as Content Cafe winds down.
In order to help libraries transition, Grove for Libraries is creating a new content enrichment service with data from Ingram Library Services.
At launch, the service will include at least the following elements:
Book covers (for all content types)
Descriptions
Author and Contributor Biographies
Publisher Marketing
Awards
We expect to add professional reviews at a later date. Ingram is currently working with the review publishers to determine which publication sources will be available.
We’re wrapping up our internal proof of concept using Ingram data and expect to have it completed early next week. The integration is planned to be ready for production with the 25.12 release on December 17, and libraries with test servers will be able to try it out starting December 5.
We’re also in discussions with Ingram to determine whether libraries can preview their coverage on test servers before signing contracts.
If you are interested in more information, please complete this short form, and we will be in touch soon.
All the best,
Jordan
