AquaBrowser Library for Academic Libraries
AquaBrowser Library® with My Discoveries™ is the must-have technology for search and discovery. AquaBrowser has proven to be an extraordinary starting point for search and discovery in academic libraries, and is the most effective tool for finding and using all the content in your institution.
AquaBrowser Library also enables you to go live quickly with proven technology that already is in use at over 200 locations worldwide. In the Unites States, AquaBrowser has been implemented at many universities, including the University of Chicago and Oklahoma State University libraries.
Supporting research and discovery
Whatever it is, wherever it is, patrons can quickly and easily find it using a single interface for all types and formats of content. Visually represented and faceted search results allow your patrons to search and discover information faster and more effectively. Relevant search results help them find answers fast. Word clouds encourage exploration and discovery. Facets help to quickly focus the results.
The Social Academic Library
AquaBrowser Library includes the My Discoveries™ “Social Library Experience,” enabling your library to offer patrons the richest social library content in the world from day one of implementation. My Discoveries incorporates the popular LibraryThing service with tag-based browsing, book recommendations, ratings, and reviews.
Academia on AquaBrowser
Dr. Rush Miller, Hillman University Librarian and Director of ULS at the University of Pittsburgh, explains their selection of AquaBrowser:
“The ULS looked at several other integrated search systems before choosing AquaBrowser. Three things set AquaBrowser apart for us: first, its unparalleled ability to act as a true discovery tool, exposing users via the word cloud and facets to items they didn’t even know they wanted or knew we had. Second, AquaBrowser’s ability to elegantly bring together local and remote, print and electronic, and to present them all in an interface that is simple and usable yet extremely powerful. Finally, we are extremely impressed with AquaBrowser’s extensible and flexible platform and are looking at integrating many resources and services in AquaBrowser. Our goal is to create a system that not only meets but exceeds users’ expectations of what a modern web search environment should be, and we are confident that AquaBrowser is a ready partner in helping us achieve this goal.”
