Aspens Search Interpreter: Power Up Your Catalog Search

Aspen Discovery’s Search Interpreter transforms patrons’ natural language queries into helpful filtered searches, with endless possibilities to customize for your collection and community. This session offers a hands-on look at how this feature was developed with Grove for Libraries, how it works, and how to configure it. The SWAN consortium will also share their configuration and collaborative process to build out, test, and refine the settings for their member libraries.
