Innovative, from Clarivate is pleased to share that The Dauphin County Library System (DCLS), headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has gone live with their new online catalog.
Founded in 1914, the system has grown to operate eight library locations across the county and acts as one of 29 District Library Centers designated by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, giving it a leadership role in coordinating library services for its region. DCLS maintains a diverse collection: it offers more than 300,000 volumes, along with digital e-books, e-audiobooks, magazines, music, movies, board games, puzzles and video games. It serves a community of approximately 234,000 residents, with annual circulation numbers exceeding 1.2 million items.
“We chose Vega Discover for its customizable features and how it empowers both users and staff to discover our catalog. The mission of DCLS is community and to transform lives by connecting people, ideas, and opportunities. Vega Discover allows us to accomplish our mission as our catalog now invites users to explore. I personally find it user-friendly, simpler, but more engaging. The catalog has a personality,“ says Maria Lagasca, Public Services Director at DCLS.
The Dauphin County Library System launched its new online catalog powered by Vega Discover in November, a modern discovery platform designed to make exploring the library’s collection easier and more engaging than ever. Vega Discover transforms the search experience with a clean, intuitive interface that feels more like browsing your favorite online bookstore than a traditional catalog. It seamlessly connects readers to books, e-books, audiobooks, movies, and other resources – all in one place. Personalized recommendations, dynamic search filters, and visually rich title displays help patrons discover new favorites effortlessly. By bringing together technology and user-friendly design, Vega Discover makes it simpler to find, save, and share materials, reflecting the library’s ongoing commitment to accessibility, innovation, and community connection.
