Hoopla Enhancement in Aspen - Rollout March 10

by SWAN Communications

Dear Member Libraries, We are writing to inform you of an upcoming enhancement to Hoopla's consortia support within our shared library catalog. What's Changing Each library will have its own Instant collection, with settings visible and synchronized through Midwest Tape. Please note that any settings configured in Aspen will continue to override Midwest Tape settings. While this update changes how each library's collection is brought into Aspen, there will be no visible changes for patrons. Rollout Details This update is scheduled for March 10. No downtime is expected, and library services should remain uninterrupted throughout the transition. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Please see our SWAN website for more information: Hoopla Enhancement in Aspen<https://swanlibraries.net/news/2026-02/95073> SWAN Library Services 915 Harger Road, Suite 260, Oak Brook, IL 60523 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542) https://support.swanlibraries.net <https://support.swanlibraries.net/>SWANcom Subscription Settings<https://mailman.swanlibraries.net/mailman3/lists/swancom.list.swanlibraries…>
