Building a Better Book Widget: Using Alma Analytics to Automate New Book Discovery

Clamon, Travis 06 May 2019 (has links)

Without a practical solution for an academic library, East Tennessee State University developed an automated process to generate book widgets utilizing data from Alma Analytics. These widgets are now deployed in our subject guides, website, and on our digital displays. This article outlines the development and implementation of these widgets. We also discuss the challenges we encountered, such as finding image covers and custom subject tagging.
