Baltimore County’s catalog represents a very high level of careful customization. The layout has been modified to include a custom header and footer. The navigation mechanism in the header offers the same effective “drop down” behavior they employ on the BCPL home page.
DPL has long been one of our favorite examples of a library who has created a consistent and attractive look and feel for both their website and PowerPAC.
Our PowerPAC demo is the ONLY system in our list that is not a live, in-production site. We include it so you have a site where you can login as a patron.
Before coming to Polaris, The City Library used Bibliocommons for their discovery layer. When they moved to Polaris in the summer of 2013 the Library made the decision to use Polaris’s native online catalog. The Library contracted with Polaris to customize their PowerPAC with the goal of creating a particularly cohesive user experience across their web platforms.
