New Media Reservation System Coming Fall 2024

Keystone AEA Media and IT staff have been working diligently to transition to a new Media Reservation System for all our area Media patrons. This new reservation system is called Insignia.

We are anticipating a full launch date for our Keystone AEA area schools to be August 2024. Insignia Library System offers some great features to educators in order for them to search and locate the Keystone library resources they need to serve student outcomes. 

Some features of Insignia include:

• User-Friendly Interface: The OPAC Insignia Library System provides patrons with a visual and intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, making it simple for our patrons to search for and access our library resources.

• Advanced Search Options: Patrons can use the embedded advanced search options to refine their searches based on various criteria such as author, title, subject, keyword, publication year, and more, ensuring educators can find exactly what they're looking for.

• Browsable Catalog: The system offers a browsable catalog feature, allowing patrons to explore the library's collection in a visually appealing and organized manner.

• Personalized Accounts: Patrons can create personalized accounts within the OPAC system, enabling them to view and manage their borrowing history, save searches, create reading lists, and receive notifications about due dates and holds.

• Availability Status: Patrons can easily check the availability status of library materials, including whether items are currently on loan, on hold, or available for immediate check

Stay tuned as more communications will be forthcoming. We think our patrons are going to LOVE it! #groundedinservice
