On Monday, October 28, CLEVNET will launch a new and improved library catalog experience to make finding library materials, resources, and events easier. We are changing because Aspen Discovery offers a more user-friendly, modern browsing experience, making finding the materials you want even more accessible. If you have a list in our online catalog, you can still access it in Aspen Discovery by logging into your account and clicking the Your Lists link. We will copy these lists on October 13. Please do not add additional titles to lists following this date, as changes made after October 13 will not be copied to the new catalog.
