Pinnacle is a great example of a single Polaris implementation whose individual libraries have done unique PowerPAC customizations. If you tour their site and switch among the locations you’ll notice each library’s PowerPAC is very unique even though they share a single instance of Polaris.
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.
Richland Library has accomplished some of the most sophisticated customization work we’ve seen. Their website features a fully responsive web design and Richland has used the Polaris API to integrate a lot of searching and PAC functionality right into the home page.
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.
Salt Lake County does a great job of leveraging third party products and partnerships. Their PowerPAC includes full integrations with both Bibliotheca Cloud Library and Overdrive eBooks. The County Library takes great advantage of the Polaris integrations available from ChiliFresh (including bookjacket cover art).
