The Aspen 23.04 release is now live. This release includes the following enhancements.
User-selected themes
Aspen will now provide the ability to choose between dark mode, high contrast, and dyslexia-friendly themes. These will require initial setup from SWAN staff, but we plan to make the new themes available in early May.
Patrons who are logged in can select a default theme to use every time they use the catalog.
Communico events integration
Libraries that use Communico to manage their events can now integrate them into Aspen. You can learn more about events integration and request this feature by contacting help@swanlibraries.net. At this time, events integration is available for Communico, LibraryMarket, and Springshare.
Minor enhancements and bug fixes
- In the "Where Is It?" modal in search results, items will no longer have a green text color and will instead have a checkmark to indicate if it's available.
- Fix for pagination within the list of available Lists within MyAccount.
- When sending the email when a new purchase suggestion request has been created, send to the email for the patron's home library rather than the active library.
- When determining format, if a title is both Journal and Book, make it Journal
- When determining format, if a title is both Serial and Book, make it Serial
- If a title is determined to be Book+DVD make sure it is not identified as just Book or DVD
- If a title is determined to be Book+CD make sure it is not identified as just Book or CD
- If a title is determined to be Book+CD-ROM make sure it is not identified as just Book or CD-ROM
- After successfully placing a hold make sure the On Hold For You button shows correctly and directs the patron to their holds shelf. Also make sure the functionality works within the list of editions
